Americas Parks yes it was and my wife booked the hole trip right down to a cabin just on the corner with a partial view of the Grand Canyon!! Only part of the trip was scary was in Estes Park when the flood came and seen people’s homes and businesses washed away and nearly no gas and food left there but were able to get out still thinking of some of the poor people left to clean up 🙁! Still want to go back and do Antelope Canyon!! Let alone Moab at Arches National Park❤️♥️♥️🌞😎!

AWESOME you guys went for the sleeping bags/ teepee- outside over inside hooray! NICE hike route. Rox and I went along the rim in 2014, Bryce Point was where Roxana decided she Had to get through some of those tiny tunnels below.. so spent 2 nights in the Park at sunset campground in 2016, we did the regular figure 8 loop covering much of the same route while my Mom took a horse ride down there. SO COOL you keep running into fans... Good point that this hike has no real "destination" / i like the idea of enjoying the hike rather than pushing for the "goal" the whole hike is the goal. Teepee spot looks pretty cool and we also liked seeing the stuff along the Rim at start and end of video/ little stuff like being in the store adds to feeling like we are there again. Beautiful video.

My wife and I were at Bryce and all the Utah might 5 last April 2019. We were happy the trails were closed from the snow, so we didn't have to tell each other, looks too strenuous. We were thankful just to see the areas. Utah was awesome. I know you usually take one or more of your family members, but not this time. I don't think even with 45 years of marriage, I could pull that off. On the other hand you have taken your family to more places than most of us. Keep up the great work, very enjoyable for us occasional doers, but mostly watchers.

Hey Randy, greetings from Gering Nebraska. I hope this finds you well. I just got back from visiting my daughter in Alaska. You need to go there! The scenery is so beautiful it is hard to describe. I was able to visit three National Parks there, Denali, Wrangell-Saint Elias, and Kenai Fjords. The scenery is 360° of God's glorious creation. In Denali take the bus tour as far as you can, in Kenai Fjords hike to the Harding ice field and take the boat tour. I was able to get past the Visitor Center at Wrangell-Saint Elias but the beauty from even there is wonderful. Keep making quality videos, keep the faith.

Only did trails on top as Don is two time cancer survivor & didn't want him to push. I told you recently that his wife Nancy is in hospital with serious heart & lung issues. Well, he was able to video chat with her today with his children, innumerable grand & great grand children. So happy for him! Also viewed your family trip today to Great Smokies. What an incredible family you have....you are truly blessed. PS...was that rhododendon or mt laurel along the trail? We have plenty of both in the Poconos near me.
