How to plan for your 2023 National Park RV Trips

[@RiverWoods111]

I just love it when Kaleb tells Trish "Not with that Attitude!" That is my favorite moment of all your videos! He is such a cool kid!

[@InTheMomentTravels]

Yes - that was a favorite. It needs to be a meme!

[@DL-lz6pj]

What a blessing to have KYD almost every Sunday👍

[@MrAlbarry51]

A thumbs up just isn’t enough to show how much we enjoyed this episode! Marc, Trish, Caleb and Charlie did an amazing job informing us about our national parks. Thank you so much for producing such an incredible episode. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@carsboatsandplanes7749]

Caleb is the star of the show. We need to see more of him in your content. Actually, you are all stars. Very good editing and on screen presence. But we need to see more of Caleb and his humor. 😂

[@SFDearing1]

In purchasing my NP Pass many years ago as a senior I asked the clerk when it expired considering my large purchase price of $10.00. She said "sir, it expires when you do!" Sure been worth the money! Great episode....thanks for sharing all the info and great scenery. Oh, and even at $80.00 a year it's worth every penny!

[@deannawillis2]

It took us a year to pay for our National Park pass. Now we camp for next to nothing. It is one of the best things we have purchased.

[@SummerAdventures]

Love KYD. Marc and Trish were a big reason why we got an RV. We have made some awesome memories in our first year, and we are so excited for summer 2023.

[@cindycierlik8162]

Great info this week Trish & Mark. Caleb, "Not with that attitude." LOL you're all so blessed. Safe travels. ♥️ Love you too Charlie 🐕

[@keithmcmanus2406]

Mount Rushmore tip: Don't visit during bike week (second week of August in Sturgis). So much exhaust haze!

[@terrieculwell8996]

My kiddos and I have enjoyed this season so much! We did our own national park blitz with Badlands, Mt Rushmore, Yellowstone, and Grand Tetons. My smallest loves pointing out things in your videos that he has seen in real life, it melts my heart. Thank you for giving my family the continued encouragement to get out and create memories 💕

[@kyleo1236]

For anyone going to glacier. Stop in at Eddie's Cafe and get the huckleberry-peach pie. It might just be the best pie I've ever had. It's at the southern tip of Lake Mcdonald.

[@arturowagner4728]

And once again, I travel places in my mind thanks to KYD...

[@karenboot9221]

we have done many of these spots on our motorcycles looking forward to visiting some with our toy hauler giving us the best of both worlds

[@JohnWaller-s5x]

Olympic National Park is in my back yard. I get look over theOlympic Mountains everyday So beautiful. So glad you got to experience it

[@lindabirkes-lance8915]

This recap was awesome. Because of this season, I bought a National Parks Passport book and have excitedly begun collecting stamps and stickers. As I am planning Route 66: The Second Half, for next year, I have already checked out my Passport book so I can bear off 66 to include some parks, forests, historic sites while I’m in the general area. But most importantly: I’ve listened to you and “I’m just doing it!!!”

[@bjclassic1950]

Fun video!!! We so enjoy your family and youtubes!

[@mjkoester]

Wife & I love your videos and have been traveling much more now! You mentioned issues with having to leave Charlie when not full hook-ups. A savior for us has been a battery/electric Dewalt jobsite fan. Now our dog would stay in the truck all day if she could. Even when at campsite she prefers the back seat of truck. I think it’s her safe zone and she’s very quiet. We will open all windows about 2”, pop the sunroof up to vent. We put the jobsite fan in the back seat with her. Keeps the air moving and keeps her cool. Now 85 degrees in full sun is a no but it works well in camper or truck in many situations. Also works well for us when at a Harvest host warm night or even outside to stay cool or help blow bugs away from us. Battery lasts for hours & hours.

[@leann4925]

Oh my I enjoyed seeing Charlie in this one. Some of it I remembered from before. The crisp clean water is so awesome as we don't have that in the Spring, TX area. When Charlie looks into the camera with those eyes it melts my heart. Thanks as was fun. Love y'all

[@satajet883]

For Bryce Canyon I highly recommend Kodachrome State park. A destination of its own.

[@juliecarey1909]

We love your videos! Your channel is our favorite RV channel by far! One small thing that I hesitate to mention but the graphic of the National Parks along your route has Glacier NP in the wrong place. No biggie!😅

[@KeepYourDaydream]

You know, I kinda thought that too. I think Google Maps put the dot on some other "Glacier" as we would have hit Glacier on our way to Bozeman.

[@Lindie406]

I was wondering who made that map. 😄 I lived ten years in western Washington, now live right outside of Glacier and I had to pause to scratch my head when I looked at that gaping hole in Montana. 😂

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

I agree on the taking of a screen shot of your reservations! We love our National Parks pass and when we get half off campsites.

[@getoutandexplorewithJohn]

Hi Marc & Trish, Just want to thank you for all of the great videos. You have truly inspired me. First by purchasing our first travel trailer early this year to get out and explore this wonderful country, and now I have just created and uploaded my first video to my new youtube, Get Out and Explore with John. I hope to inspire others as you have done for me. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

[@karricompton]

Our favorite fry camping was in Goosenecks State Park. It was so quiet, the sunset was amazing, and the stars incredible! And yeah, we got the pies when at Capitol Reef.

[@jlgraham5606]

Just watched your first RV trip video. What a hoot! Thank you for giving a glimpse of your life. Really enjoyed the NW Montana episode. I worked law enforcement and lived there for 25 years. Maddie was a precious puppy!

[@harterbob]

Over the course of four months this past summer we visited Badlands, Mt Rushmore, Devils Tower, Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Teton, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Mesa Verde, and before heading back to Florida we visited the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. We ran into friends in Moab, who recommended that we try the GyPSy Guide app. This app gives a narrated guided tour of many of our national parks. It knows where you are via your smartphone GPS and doesn’t require a cell phone signal. We used it for Canyonlands, Arches, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Grand Canyon, and Mesa Verde. It is an awesome app and we were grateful to our friends for recommending it.

[@NavigatingChaos]

I grew up in Maine, and Acadia National Park! It was my stomping grounds. I hiked all the trails...and explored all the nooks and crannies as a teen. It's my home. ❤️ I miss it now that I'm an adult and live in Florida.

[@SirAdamMeek]

The song at the beginning of this episode sounds freakishly like Stevie Nicks hit, Stand Back. Chord progressions, phrasing, melody....

[@eriktyree9323]

Great recap! Loved watching them the first time, and living vicariously through your adventures. I can’t wait to see the next series. Love watching and would love to see the western United States some day. Keep up the GREAT videos and safe travels out there.

[@rvtravelstayplay8154]

Bev and I fulltime in a Tiffin Allegro Bus in Caldwell Idaho.. We are really sorry we missed y’all coming through the Boise Area.. Hopefully we get to meet on the road someday !

[@shannonalexander2069]

Love the video. Thanks for all the amazing tips.

[@pallahammer8997]

The this is what I want clip is often what I think when I watch your show. Thank you for taking me away every Sunday to a new place and let me see it through your eyes.👌❤🚙

[@jankinman4685]

Thank you! Thank you! We’ve always enjoyed your music selection & now we can have it for ourselves. Next for sharing the information about the specific parks, suggestions, dos & maybe not for free!!!! It seems many KZbinrs charge for everything. We live in Arizona also & enjoy seeing places we know about. And last (for now) thank you for sharing your family & the events of it. Looking forward to 2023 with you all your adventures.

[@hiitsjinx]

You guys are SO funny!!! I love your sense of humor and positivity

[@robertosgood961]

This vid is one of the many reasons I love your channel. You know how to bring such value to tuning in, especially with your blogs. Thanks!

[@melissaweyrick5311]

Thank you, I cannot imagine how long it took to edit this. 😲

[@cmreynolds1464]

So many times, looking for a love button, like is just not enough! Thanks for such beautiful videos.

[@TSKseattle]

Having lived all 65 of my years in the Seattle area, in the shadow of Mt Tahoma (Rainier) I love seeing it explored through others eyes.

[@mikeshanaberger7503]

Thank you. We have enjoyed the valuable information. And it goes farther you have been generous to share this. We feel as though you are friends. Been a viewer for many years.

[@erased-slate]

We were at Big Bend NP and I was wearing a KYD cap. The hat led to a mini KYD meet-up as a result. So cool.

[@jameshambrick7918]

Love this recap!!! During our RV family days we have been to many of the National Parks that you highlighted. Ohh how I miss my RV! I want to get an easy to drive class B in the worst way and hit the road. Until that happens I am living vicariously through your KYD Family. Thanks for being YOU ❤😊

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

Thank you for all you do to share your adventures AND valuable information with us!

[@openskies4245]

We are just back from Mammoth Cave. 42 days on the road (OH, PA, WV, KY, MI, IN, SC, TN, NC, VA well covered - we are based in Cincinnati,) since we renovated a 2015 Coachman as my Covid project. Need to get out west soon. KYD was essential to my learning process and we still enjoy it.

[@adventuresofjandk]

We absolutely loved our trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. By far the best videos on our channel.

[@garryhammond3117]

This was a great video encapusulating this seasons National Park travels. I think the format is great and very informative. As usual Trish's narritive is very clear and understandable. Thanks KYD! - Cheers!

[@Bacciagalupe]

Yall are the best!

[@CaliSmithFamily]

Great content as always!!

[@rickrichardson5329]

Love the Sunday videos. Thank you for taking us along.

[@TJ-mc8uh]

Living your best life! Thanks for this exceptional information!

[@luminousveiws]

Combined length has been the official policy at the dozen NPs we've been at the last few years.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Perhaps, but clearly not enforced because we're 50' combined and never had a single problem.

[@markcoker1471]

Thanks for the help.and the great videos

[@roberthalpin4490]

Just wanted to let everyone know that Fishing Bridge Campground in Yellowstone is “big rig” friendly. We have a 42’ fifth wheel and we were there 10/2-6/22. Has a friendly Bison that lives in the campground. We called him Ferdinand. Awesome!!!

[@lawrencebest9943]

Always good information

[@jimsjacob]

This year we did many places, but we also got to Devils Tower and Mt. Rushmore. Both were awesome but we really loved Devils Tower. So worth the trip to make it there and definitely stay at Belle Fourche campground. So idyllic!

[@marklevin8043]

We are first year RV people. We are planning a 94 day trip out west and your adventures have provided insight to so many places and given us more places to add to our list. We will start our adventure in Colorado Springs, then, Ouray, Moab, Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Rock Springs, Yellowstone, Tetons, Redfish Lake, Boondocking in Oregon, Olympic National, Coeur de Lane, Glacier National, Devils Tower, Custer Black Hills, Badlands, Medora, St Cloud, Napierville, Lapeer, Jackson Center, Cleveland Buffalo, Finger Lakes and return to Mass. Many of the stops were influenced by your videos. Thanks for the Graduate Course.

[@tombrown8522]

If you're in Colorado Springs, go a bit further and hit Sand Dunes NP. You're SO close...

[@seabeevet9285]

Trish, GREAT JOB!!! Loved your video and all of the parks you covered. It was VERY informative! We really appreciate the time and effort you (and Marc) put into this video! Thanks!!!

[@richwoodland4985]

Look forward to your videos each week. I have learned so much.

[@yooperdog]

Thanks for all your insight. Fun seeing some of the places we also have explored.

[@Katherine-15-12]

Trish you did a great job in this video. I find that organising a trip and making bookings a but daunting.

[@johnoverly3407]

This video needs to be like win the Oscar of You Tube. Great job!

[@ehavlice]

Guys, what a great video !

[@B.A.S.66]

You guys are great!! One can't go wrong with the helpful tip.

[@lloydrobinson7081]

all of u r videos have been a joy to watch, keep the clips coming

[@paulab984]

Great video as always. I love the recaps. The music was great too. Really excited to get the Playlist.

[@JBLiles]

Nice recap!!

[@sharleneberry1447]

FYI national park pass is also free to anyone who is disabled.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That's why we included the map and link. There are endless options with that pass.

[@cjg8822]

News I love watching and getting info from so thanks 🙏🏻

[@kimproffer9456]

So much awesome and very valuable information! Thank you Trish, Marc and Caleb! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@swansodi]

I watched all those videos, and loved seeing this summary of the season!!

[@BrohamerT]

Loved the recap. I'm hitting a few of these NP's this next summer, so this gave me some ideas of what to do and/or places to stay. Love your channel.

[@dundas45]

Now THAT was one great video for sure!

[@donnadussault5943]

Thank you so much for this video, you answered all my quetions. I am just starting to plan for 2023 and you provided so many great ideas. Oh and the dog water dish will be a great additon, no more spills!!

[@johnandargiesadventures4203]

I loved the recap, I'm really sorry I missed the meet up in Tacoma, I live in Olympia and grew up in Tacoma, I've followed you all for a couple years now, I'm in the RV business and always running hard in the summer, Love You All, Take care Happy Holidays

[@amylynn68]

Mount Rushmore is our first stop when we go full time in May!! Love the tips!

[@Live2Journey]

This is great info, we are already planing our 2024 visit, but we miss the west SO MUCH already. Especially GLACIER! You guys rock!

[@sallyjaynes2433]

** Hats-off 👒🧢 to Trish the narrator, again, to "re-cap" those 'Monument parks 🗿🗻' ! Also, especially to family 'unconditional' love member, Charley, with his steadfast commitment 🦮. You are forever an endearing family, diverse with that RV'NG jive venturing .... Have a great continuing success 🚴🚵🚴 biking the highlights of those road trails 😎

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

I loved this video. I found this to be very useful. Have a really good week, Trish, Mark, Caleb.

[@amyjones-lonestarhoosier2029]

Another great video! Look forward to them every Sunday!!

[@tomd5360]

Another great app for information on National Parks is the NPS (National Park Service) App.

[@brucerichardson1498]

Jasper was happy to see more Charlie on this. Over the years, traveling without a dog, we preached to each other that flexibility was a key to the adventure. Now, knowing we will be traveling with Jasper (der Jester) aka “Ooze”… that mantra will be even more important to maintain. Great video! Trish… work on that attitude!!!😂🤣😂🤣

[@timmartin4952]

Thank you so very much for the content. You provide so much information and make it seem effortless. I feel certain many hours go into these videos and I/we thank you very much. These are references we will use over and over for our travels in the near future. Thanks again!

[@0HARE]

I so enjoyed this great travelogue. Your tips and advise are priceless. We’ll be following in your footsteps soon. Good Vibrations

[@wcraig]

Love the playlist! Will definitely be adding to my my road-trip playlist. We will be heading to Badlands this coming summer and plan on visiting Mt Rushmore and Wind Cave as well.

[@mortimermeanders8912]

Another fine job. I appreciate all the effort you guys put in.

[@tundra176]

Another good video Favorite parts Caleb “Not With That Attitude “😂 That dog bowl is genius not just for RV’s

[@terricamp8757]

Thank you sooo much for every thing you do and everything you share with us, such a treat. Looking forward to getting my new KYD hat.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@tonycathyhickman2512]

Loved this helpful, informative video. (Like ALL your videos are) I still can’t believe we were in Stanley, Idaho, soon after you were there. And, the same time in Glacier. So disappointed we didn’t run in to you in West Glacier or on one of our hikes! We also enjoyed the autumn colors in Belle Fourche , near Devils Tower. Thanks again for the great job you do week after week. Looking forward to your bike journey the next episodes!

[@sky02148]

Your videos are the best, so informative and TV like. I love it. Thanks for sharing and as always stay safe, safe travels, and God bless love ya Nancy

[@Adam_Gray]

I'm not traveling at the moment but will be in the spring of next year, but I'm already chilling out to the Spotify playlist! Thanks for all the helpful info too, I'm saving this to my private playlist for easy recall.

[@markjohnston8661]

As always... thanks for a great video letting us know how things are going!!!

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Enjoyed the recap. Thank you. Blessings

Thank you for the “Charlie link” :)

[@MrOppie93]

Oh boy my wife was already wanting to do a National park summer and now this

[@gregoryfuller30]

I like the background music in this one. It has a Fleetwood Mac vibe to it.

[@GenesisMovie]

The best editing on KZbin!

[@jenniferschnieder6316]

Awesome season! Jerry & Jennifer here in beautiful Peoria Arizona

[@louheindel8673]

Just…thank you!!!

[@rvfools]

Stuck in southern Idaho this winter. but enjoying your videos and travels. Caleb is half-way between a video Ham and a rock star! Ya'all be safe.

[@mommat1306]

Loved the recap! What a fabulous trip. But holy moly, 3600 miles at around $3.50 PG for diesel, and I figure that’s well over $12,000 just for fuel. I guess your trip would have to be broken into several for most of us.
