🏆 Top 10 Must See National Parks with Your RV!

[@chadwilliams5536]

Great video! Any chance to do a video interviewing Tory, Carson and Caleb about their growing up with full time RV experience? Looking back, what skills did they learn? What did they enjoy most? What did they dislike most? Would they do anything differently? Thanks!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Good topic.

[@vsgtrek]

Love this idea

[@brownsignbrigade86]

@@KeepYourDaydream and what they know vs their peers... I find that we have taught our girls many things, because of our travels, that their peers were never taught.

[@theresatyree3090]

Go back and watch from the beginning, awesome awesome I’ve been watching KYD a couple years now so I went back from the beginning to catch the kids when they were little.

[@theresatyree3090]

The Smokies were my neck of the woods for a long time. I had to move away nine months ago. I miss that area so much. And I remember you saying you really liked Asheville he will probably go back. Since you like to ride bikes Cades Cove also has a bicycle only day check it out. Five years ago I had horses so I’ve been all through there on horseback!

[@RushinTruckin]

I’m only 3 minutes in and I need to stop to recognize and praise Marc’s ability to capture, organize, edit, and present some of the most epic B-roll scenes I’ve ever seen. The level of vision, forethought, and memory it takes to comb through hundreds of hours of footage is admiring. Well done, Marc, well done

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks! Appreciate your comments.

[@marvawiebe4364]

So true!

[@franfisher1501]

I thought that same thing!

[@colingoldthorpe5918]

We Just wrapped a 2 week England and Scotland trip yesterday !!! As much as a i love North America for scenery. The United KIngdom just crushes us with their History. Saw both the Queens Jewels in London also saw the Queen of Scotland's Jewels, Tower of London, Natural history museum, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Downing Street, Trafalgar Square, York Minster, Beverley Minster, Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, Edinburgh Castle, Hadrians Wall toured Roman settlements in York followed by Viking Settlements. Walked on the graves of Knights from 0ver a 1000 years ago. Traveled by train and Air and walked over 60 miles in 2 weeks. Time to relax for a few weeks, my feet are in tatters!!!!

[@jtlong8383]

Great Smoky Mountains NP: on Wednesdays between May and September, the Cades Cove Loop Road is closed to motor vehicles, so you have the entire 11-mile loop open only to bicycles and hikers. Especially nice if you camp at the Cades Cove Campground, so you can just get on your bike at your camper and ride the loop.

[@tonycathyhickman2512]

What a great refresher to our favorites! While you’re on your way to Shenandoah National Park, try to drive some or all of the Blue Ridge Parkway. 469 miles, no stoplights ! It’s an absolutely beautiful drive. Many gorgeous, well marked overlooks. Also, on your trip out to Washington State, try to see Leavenworth, Washington. Beautiful, mountain village

[@StuckInaCamper]

Agree! You can spend a day just stopping at overlooks on the blue ridge. So many “spectacular” viewpoints!

[@loragunning5394]

My personal favorite is Sequoia Nation Park, mostly due to my deep affinity with the Giant Sequoias, but also because the park has played such an influential roll in my life across a good part of my life. I was fortunate to work at the park the summer I was 19-20 (1974) and living under those magnificent trees 24/7 for 6 months totally changed the way I perceived plant life of all kinds, a deep revelation for me that has stayed with me to this day.

[@VeganFaith]

We loved this video so much. We have fallen in love with the National Parks. This year is my daughter’s 4th grade year and the National Parks Foundation issues free National Park passes to families with 4th graders. It might be a fun tip to share with your audience. We have decided that each of our children’s 4th grade years we will do a big NP trip and she has chosen Florida NPs this year. We can’t wait to follow along this season with y’all!!

[@TheBruceGday]

When you say 4th grade year, is that summer 3rd to 4th grade? Or 4th to 5th grade? My son is 3rd to 4th grade, but this summer is RVing to Florida for Disney. We usually do National parks. We live in Wyoming so for us that means Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Sometimes Rocky Mountain National Park. Next year we will be back to Yellowstone and then Glacier.

[@robinsonsontheroll5482]

So lucky! My daughters 4th grade year was 2020 😕 I got one more in 1st grade soooo 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@Dachdogoriginal]

Yosemite absolutely blew my mind. I'm in Washington. I can't wait for you to see Hurricane Ridge. Also go see the Hoh Rainforest and Sol duc hot springs resort. After hiking, if needed order you burgers/food, then go take your shower and the food will be ready when you get done. Some amazing hiking at Sunrise, Rainier. Go down to Shadow Lake slightly southwest of the parking lot, then head up to the Fremont fire lookout. This will take all day. There and back. Absolutely phenomenal!!! One of my favorite things I gave done. And I've traveled the planet a fair bit.

[@6ninerxray]

We retired last year (early) and have been RVing going on 2 years now and have completed about 5 of the 63 last summer, this summer we are doing 14 of them. Next summer we are doing Alaska. Just got back from Smoky Mountain National Park and had a blast. We love your videos and always have an eye out looking for KYD on the road. Thanks for your spectacular videos. Maybe we'll bump into each other someday. Also love that you are donating to Team Rubicon. We are both vets and have a few friends that volunteer for Team Rubicon.

[@genericwatcher2439]

Yellowstone is the #1 by any metric... I spent 8 days hiking around the park, slowing down and doing it all is worth it. I could go on and on about all the amazing stuff to see, but in reality, no words can do it justice, spending a week doing every last corner (if you enjoy nature) is something people will never regret.

[@kimw349]

Love you guys! Thank you for this video, great timing as I’m taking my 4 grandkids (ages 8-16) on a National Park Tour leaving in 4 weeks! We live in Alaska…flying into Denver and then taking 10 days of driving to see 8 National Parks and Monuments! Highlights are Mt. Rushmore, Badlands, Devils Tower, Yellowstone and the Tetons. We are ALL so excited! Watch your videos over and over and over, so inspiring. Thank you, thank you!

[@dougwelch8890]

We just got home from 5 days at Capital Reef NP. Some tips if you go. The pies at the Gifford House are really that good but get there early. On busy days they sell out in two hours. All the trails along highway 24 and the scenic drive are very busy. You have to be there early or late at any of them to get a parking spot. There are 2 canyon hikes in the park where you will have the hike all to yourself. Surprise Canyon and Headquarters Canyon are fantastic hikes, as good as any in the park but zero crowds. We did both and we were the only car at each trailhead. Lastly, have dinner at Hunt & Gather. You will need reservations but it one of the best restaurants you will ever eat at. Seriously.

[@richardpruitt5919]

The bus ride to the end of the trail in Denali is totally worth the time. I saw more wildlife per hour there than any other place I’ve been. They give you time for some short hikes too.

[@BrentSara00]

Love Love Love the National Parks! Really love the GyPSy Guides for what National Parks are covered. You set it to play as you drive through the park and on the way to and from the parks (must download before losing signal). Lots of tips, stories, history and so much to learn!

[@kristimurdock]

Great lists! Capitol Reef is my favorite of the big 5, it's a more intimate experience. The Capitol Gorge and Tanks trail was really meaningful, realizing this hiking path, hacked out by pioneers in 1884, was the only way into the canyon for wagons and vehicles. Early travelers etched their names into the sandstone walls. Not an intra-park drive, but between Bryce and Capitol Reef, Scenic Byway 12 is INCREDIBLE. We were lucky enough to drive it in the fall as the aspens changed, oh, my.

[@ClassicKas]

When in Gatlinburg turn left at traffic light 6 and follow the road up to Roaring Forks Nature Trail. Wildlife, hikes and some old cabins along with waterfalls. Happy Summer everyone!

[@tracym2164]

Although I have never commented before, I am a long-time viewer and I absolutely love your videos and value your insight into and experience of these places to visit and explore. Your advice is always bang on and I look forward to each and every episode. While I have travelled to several of the US national parks you mentioned in the past (and wholeheartedly agree with your assessments of each), there are others I hope to explore in the near future as a Canadian preparing for full-time RV life. I hope one day are paths will cross!

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

Are you going to hit the Canadian National Parks? We did as many as we could in our epic 2016 cross-continent camping trip. Just don’t loose the tag! And sign it! Ours worked its way out of my Hubs rear jean pocket while we were looking through the Alexander Graham Bell exhibit on Cape Breton Island…it was found in the building thankfully.

[@reddog376]

I'm disabled and on disability. I will never get to go to the places in your videos. I live vicariously threw you and your videos. Thanks for the videos keep up the good work.

[@robertobeltramelli4138]

After 18 years of RV travel, we just sit back and watch your family on the Big Screen OLED Smart TV, every episode. I always get the Summer Shirts for my Special Needs daughters to wear as we go to local places.

[@yertlet.turtle4277]

Really enjoy see you and the family. Watching them grow into wonderful adults. Hey such an awesome summer planned. My husband and I bicycled Cades Cove. Look for the special times to do that. No cars. Back in 2004 we traveled the states, Alaska too, made it to 21 state parks in 5 months. Before social media. I kept a journal and took over 3000 pictures. Thank you for a loving walk down memory lane 💝 God bless your family. See you on the trail.

[@escalade78]

Our National Parks are truly treasures. Such insight of our forefathers to preserve these lands for future generations to cherish & enjoy. Great Video, guys!

[@billandmaryoshea6532]

Watching this again tonight and noting how well Tricia turns a phrase. Love that lady! And Marc spot on with the music!

[@CampgroundViews]

This was so great to have an in depth must see top 10 Guide of National Parks!

[@CookingwithCatLover0330]

I totally love the Western National Parks. Zion and Arches are so amazing! Driving out west, there was a moment that we turned a curve in the road and the "purple mountains majesty" were right in front of us. I cried. I did. I cried at the beauty that God created. If you can go West, do it! Zion and Arches are amazing! Great video. Thank you

[@kathyerikson637]

We have been to 7 of your top ten. Loved each and every one of them .We’ve had a passport book for about 5 years. I love that it encourages us to stop at National Park sites. Even the presidential sites are interesting and fun. Love seeing everyone getting their stamps.

[@jasonjanik2046]

Thanks for all the great info as always! We are headed to Zion, Bryce Canyon, and the Grand Canyon in June. It will be our longest road trip since buying our first TT last year. All of the major stuff is all planned out and reservations have been made, now it is time to start really diving in and finding all of the offbeat and “spectacular” spots and hikes to visit while we are there. The “ask the locals” advise is great too. Can’t wait! Thanks again Trish and Marc! Love watching your channel!

[@sandrap3047]

Love seeing all the National Parks but loved seeing the kids when they were younger even more!

[@jtlong8383]

KYD, if you go back to the Smokies, nearby is the Cherohala Skyway, just south of the Smokies park, an amazingly scenic drive across the TN and NC mountains. Along the Skyway is nice hike to Huckleberry Knob, which National Geographic has named as the best unspoiled view east of the Rocky Mountains.

[@learchy19]

Love all the info! I'll keep a look out for a meet up when you come to WA. You'll love the Olympics and Mt. Rainier. I live in an area I get to see Mt. Rainier pretty much daily and the Olympics on a clear sunny day. WA has some beautiful places to visit. From the ocean to the dessert to the mountains, lakes and rivers, so fun to explore!

[@2CorgiMom]

This is definitely on my list of favorite KYD videos, ever! What fun your family has had at all these great parks! I am blessed to live in a town with Olympic NP in our backyard, “where the Olympics meet the sea”. You have a big treat in store! Thanks for the Top 10 review.

[@debrarepella3886]

Shenandoah National especially the Blue Rudge Parkway Afton Mountain is home sweet home. Born and raised in Waynesboro. DuPont and GE town then. Hope you enjoyed it.

[@kathyerikson637]

We saw Denali on the bus in all its glory. There wasn’t a cloud on the mountain. I was so excited and still can’t believe our luck.Amazing

[@pushrodgarage8716]

I shouldn’t have watched this before bed. Now I’m way too excited to sleep. We bought a small hybrid camper last fall and have been itching to get out and use it all winter. Your videos have really kept the dream alive during the deep freeze in MN. Thank you!

[@paxfamilychiro]

There IS NOT a KYD I haven’t seen!!! And……THIS is the best one EVER!!! I LOOOOOOOOVE the extended length…..the only thing better than KYD is MORE KYD!!!! Thanks Marc and Trish! My wife, 3 boys, and I are PROUD to be KYD insiders!!!! Keep keepin’ your daydream!!!

[@numbskulzmom8850]

You guys need to come to Leavenworth Wa in the fall it’s stunning here ❤️

[@amyjones-lonestarhoosier2029]

Just saw the KYD Bluebird Camper driving down M 12!!! I can’t believe we saw it!! Looks great!!

[@travelingcatphotos]

I have been to 38 of the Parks but we decided to "start over" again this year for our KZbin Channel. We bought a different Passport book than the blue one you have because we wanted to write more and feature more but in each video we show the stamp in the book (along with a nod to KYD...a little redhead that travels along with the passport book) to encourage others to join in the fun! I'm 60 this year, so it's definitely NOT just for kids! Fun seeing your views of places I've been, places we are going soon and places we already have plans to see next year! And, yes, have my S2R list and gonna fill it out with the family this weekend! Making memories is really what it is ALL about! Safe Travels you guys...sending our love and thanks!

[@willneverrememberit1]

We started in 2013 with our first National Park trip. We've now visited 61 of the 63 and revisited some many times over. Hoping to complete the list by next year. Great video.

[@StuckInaCamper]

Wow!!

[@martyloughlin9643]

Just a tip for anyone making reservations in the Smokey’s NP. While they don’t have electric, if you have a Cpap machine, they have a few sites with 15 amp service. Also the road going up to their GMS institute at Tremont near Townsend is a great auto tour, plus 7 more miles of trail when the road ends along a lovely stream. Easy hiking, plus several miles of good road for those who don’t hike.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We'll mention that when we're there. Good point.

[@PeacefulmomentsinNature]

You may have already been there but if not I highly recommend the San Juan Mountains in Southwestern Colorado. The views while driving through the little mining towns of Ouray and Silverton brought me to tears.

[@robertarohwer3861]

What a fantastic video! You made my day in that, at age 77, we've been to almost ALL of your top 10 (plus a few) so I feel like our trips were successes and could not agree more with your assessments! AND.. Road to the Sun is out of this world. We went in early spring... when the ice was just melting, and every road had a waterfall. Amazing! All the way around outstanding!

[@ethaneldridge4261]

While you’re in the state of Tennessee, you really need to check out Fall Creek Falls State Park. Lots of scenery and hiking. They have activities posted at the bath houses of what is going on every week. It’s a very family friendly campground! We camp there multiple times a year.

[@jasonsturgis3]

Thank Mark & Trish love having you guys.

[@srice6231]

Great "spectacular" video! One of my favorite National Parks is Black Canyon of the Gunnison. I have been there twice and loved it both times. I think part of what I loved was that it wasn't very busy and had some great views.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We need to spend more time in CO and ID for sure.

[@jimg2885]

What a great video. Love seeing the kids all together in the video clips. Mark and Trish, your kids are so lucky to have been at the age to really enjoy the RV life with you. What a wonderful way to grow up. Thanks for another great Sunday evening. Happy Easter to your family..

[@dianarodenberg1010]

The Boiling River hot spring in the Yellowstone Mammoth region was one our favorite stops. You can stand with one leg in freezing cold and the other in hot tub temps. So relaxing after a hard day of hiking.

[@kristigeiger3680]

You guys give so much good information and education but you also put a smile on my face at the same time! Well done! Can't wait to see your summer adventures! You guys do a lot of hiking with older kids. I'd love to see some more information and places maybe for younger kids where there's still tons to do or really easy hikes for beginners.

[@gabbic8778]

I am SO happy to hear that you love the Great Smokies so much! That’s right in my backyard! Please keep us updated the best you can with when you’re coming back! I would LOVE to cross paths- you’ve been SUCH an inspiration to us in the RV community!

[@brendaschroeder2166]

Added a bunch to my bucket list now that we are full time. Thank you

[@leann4925]

Looking forward to this years adventure. I will say this I am so jealous of Tory's hair as love the color. So awesome seeing the boys jumping into the water. I do believe a saw a smaller Charlie. I just love that dog. So please give him a hug from me. So much fun to watch and thanks. Love y'all

[@JJ-Journeys]

Great Video! Timing for this video was perfect. We are doing Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Tetons this year so your info was right on time. We did the Grand Canyon and Zion last year so the video brought back great memories. Thanks and Safe Travels!! Happy Easter!!

[@MsSunstoned]

Thank you. I can truly appreciate your work.

[@annek1226]

My Lord looking back to when the kids were much younger makes me feel even older! Miss Torri so much now that she is grown and off to school! The boys are in and out and before too long you guys will be empty nesters like the rest of us! Stay safe!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

You and me both! Tori graduates this year. Carson is going off to school. Crazy to see the kids grow up on the channel like this. It will be fun to share their milestones too. Thanks!

[@ElementaryExplorers]

Definitely go back for the hot springs!! We went with our kids and elk came down into the river with us! It was crazy, and a memory we certainly won’t ever forget. 💕

[@phyllissmith1105]

We've been to many National Parks and none of them have ever disappointed. What we've discovered lately are National Monuments and National Historic Sites as well, since some of them are near national parks or on the way to or from the NP. My favorite is Cedar Breaks National Monument. The drive is beautiful especially at sunset. Speaking of drives, the drive from Capitol Reef to Bryce Canyon is also really cool too.

[@janicevoss864]

Great video! I love 💕 when you take us on some your earlier videos and your children are small. What great memories you have for your family. It really shows the reason you decided to go full time like you have said all along. If you keep waiting for the perfect time it will never happen. Thank you so much for sharing your memories!! Safe travels 😊🇺🇸

[@windandsea12]

My husband called from Spain just as I started watching. Ugh :) Funny thing happened. He fell asleep on the phone so I hung up and I quickly ordered my new Summer To Remember tshirt ! Olympic National Park: Sol Duc Campground ! It’s just a short walk to the Sol Duc Hot Springs. If you have the two older kids visiting you can rent cute little cabins. There is a small “grocery store” and diner. We really enjoyed hiking around the area. We were on our motorcycle and tent camped but most people were in rv’s. It was not busy. We live in Las Vegas and Zion is our go to. The Watchman’s trail is great. The views are beautiful. I’ll be in Zion soon the hike the Narrows with my son. We rode the motorcycle on the Tail of the Dragon. It was off season and it was amazing! Arcadia National Park was another great ride on the motorcycle. Again, another great episode.

[@caseye1089]

Huge fan!!! You guys have the coolest music in your videos! ❤️

[@tonydonovan6013]

We (me, my wife and 4 kids) are so excited for this coming season.

[@sharonstevenson3372]

We LOVED Capital Reef,I think it's been understated. The campground we stayed at rented Jeeps. Took a day offroading and exploring in a Jeep. Came back and ended up with a Jeep a few months later. lol

[@julielayne3978]

It's an under rated park for sure

[@AllElectricFamily]

We're on a mission to go to all the National Parks...but it's great to have a list of the best ones. You guys are always ready to inspire adventure! ❤

[@melodylemons9440]

Loved the video, We stayed in Hanksville, UT and drove to Arches, Canyon lands and were close to Capital reef. There is a grocery in the town and gas and full hookups at Duke's Sliderock RV Park and Cafe. I hear the food is good but we don't t eat out much. I look forward to your summer adventures.

[@Jburns4620]

Thanks, Marc and Trish. Still planning to embark on RV adventures in Q1, 2023. Your resources and information are invaluable, coupled with the laughs along the way.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

You're going to love it! It won't always be easy, but satisfying knowing you did it!

[@mattinla98]

You two are so full of enthusiastic energy. Under the settings tab on KZbin it allows you to change the playback speed of the video. When I set you guys at 75% speed, you seem more relaxed and peaceful ;)

[@ricardocruz1172]

Wow! Just how amazing this video was. This is what I expect every week from you guys. Love it!! Eager to see what’s on this summer adventures. Stay safe and healthy.

[@OurAmericanTravel]

Awesome we will be checking out some more National Parks soon. Thanks for sharing.

[@sarahseevinck8470]

You'll love capitol reef and Olympic - AMAZINGLY beautiful dry camping around both too (which we generally prefer because they are so quiet and scenic).

[@steverutherfordlaughlinhs3196]

Capital reef is my favorite, we drove through on the way to Moab/Arches and went back the next year and camped for a week in that area. Fascinating history and beautiful area.

[@dannylisenby7785]

Thank you very much. We are rookies and just bought first RV.

[@retroadventures6127]

Great video! Two National Parks you have to get to are Isle Royale on Lake Superior and Big Bend in Texas. You can’t RV camp in Isle Royale of course but the boat ride on Lake Superior to the island is worth it. Go to Big Bend in December, January, or February (the month we did). March will have all the spring breakers and the other months are just too hot (except for maybe November). Both of these are two of the least visited National Parks. More people visit Yellowstone in one day than visit IR during its entire season!

[@julielayne3978]

We did Big Bend for Spring Break this year and are heading to Isle Royale this summer. Big Bend was awesome (our spring break was a different week than the main two weeks apparently) but it's a long way through a whole lot of nothing to get there.

[@daniellekidd6453]

Fabulous job on the music! Y’all are rocking it!

[@getreel3515]

Last summer, I spent 13 weeks on the road in my truck camper, 15k miles, 25 states, 17 National Parks and over a dozen state parks. Awesome!!!!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Amazing!

[@scottolman4436]

Highway 12 from Bryce Canyon to Capitol Reef is by far the best drive in Utah.

[@leanncady8208]

This video has got to be one of your best videos yet! Thank you for sharing your Top 10 National Parks (and drives)! Hubby and I are happy to report we have visited most of the parks on your list and have plans for the rest. Awesome video! The family clips, key points you shared about the parks, and background music really made for a great show!

[@lifebyhope8624]

Love this TOP 10 list! We have been to a few these National Parks but still so many more to see! We agree Acadia is tranquil. We visited in August of 2020 and fell in love with the area. We are definitely going back and hoping to have Ebikes! Thank you for inspiring us for so many years! ♥️♥️ By the way, now we have to get the National Park Passport book and visit all the parks again! 😀

[@lenharding72]

So many to do items, so little time. Yes, the passports books are very cool. Mine in Pictured Rocks in the MI UP. REMEMBER, if you forget your book you can still get the stamp and put it in later. Many places have round stickers that fit in the stamp spot of the book. I also recommend taking it on vacation because you never know where you will end up. Did a tour in FL before a cruise and it took us to a National Park. They size is cool because its very easy to throw in a backpack.

[@mkdsdbu]

In the summer you can drive around Mount Rainer and it is, Spectacular

[@paulmatovich5938]

Thank you guys. Excellent video and we agree w all of your selections!

[@rondasugg6286]

Been watching all your videos. You have inspired me to take life by the horns and start exploring this wonderful country we live in!!

[@tinaswift8397]

Watching your videos always get me exited to get out and go explore. One question I have you mention snacks and food for hiking. What kind of meals do you bring along?

[@lynnmariec]

Charlie is so adorable. Thanks for the great videos. I miss the kids, just had to say that ❤

[@jimdame547]

Tricia, I encourage you to go backpacking! Backpacking is so much more than the sum of its parts. You won the permit, plan the trip! There is plenty of equipment to make the trip really comfortable! I am happy to answer any questions! Kelly Dame

[@ericmcdurmon8000]

I love that Mark has 10 top 5 hikes. This video was spectacular! Enjoy you guys!!

[@myvacationhome9346]

This video will make everyone who watches want to hit the road. One thing I’d love to see is how you managed Charlie while at the different less than pet friendly parks. Pets and RVs go hand and hand and I remember the first NP we went to that we couldn’t take our dogs.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We'll do that video. Thanks!

[@arlendavis]

I lived in Maryland in the 70s and two of my favorite places to go was the Skyline Drive & the Blue Ridge Parkway. Lots of hiking there as well.

[@JosieB2017]

Voyagers National Park! Located next to The Boundary Waters! which was just placed on the list as one of the most quiet places on earth, and also a dark sky. Since I am long past the age of being able to hike, being able to get into a boat and explore 1,000 of miles of water ways is hands down my most favorite National Park!

[@steve5975]

A trip I want to take is from Acadia National Park to Denali National Park, in my GMC Acadia Denali (or maybe tow the vehicle, if I’m with others), with stops in Tetons and Yellowstone. Lived in Utah, so would go to Yellowstone/Tetons every year.

[@airros3676]

It’s nice to see you guys coming to my neck of the woods (Shenandoah Area)! Since you’re going to be out here, you might as well stop at Luray Caverns! These are some super cool caves. A must see on this end if you haven’t before. 🙂

[@Bacciagalupe]

The secret season is a great tip - yall are the best!

[@randyrandy1367]

I camped off my motorcycle from Trenton Ontario Canada to Glacier National Park. And for sure was the highlight of the trip.

[@kevinlyon9490]

After watching your video staying at The Moorings in Belfast, Maine... I booked two trips there and loved each time I stayed and also it was nice to go back to Maine last year. I love your videos every week. Thank You to you both!

[@kimbrewis8111]

I have to say your recommendation “Your Guide to the National Parks” is AWESOME!! I got mine yesterday & love it. Over a 10-15 years I have been to 33 NPs. Thank you for this great recommendation. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest, as soon as gas prices go down.

[@mavrick561]

You guys are a huge reason we got into "RVing" (we only have a pop-up)! We are doing Rocky Mountain NP and Durango this summer. Our first "big" trip. I can't wait!

[@jolenecreech7648]

I agree with all you said . We stayed at West Glacier KOA…in a cabin. It was FANTASTIC ! That campground is absolutely beautiful! Happy Easter 🐣 Marc and Trish and family (Charlie too!). 🐰🐇💜👍

[@erinkennison1890]

Cades Cove is a great drive, but, especially in summer, crowded! Even for the most patient visitors, it can be overwhelming. Only a few miles in, but a couple of hours, we found our kids, then 6 and 8, fading quickly. Looking for an escape route, we found Rich Mountain Road. It's a one-way, unpaved 7 mile drive connecting Cades Cove to Townsend. This escape ended up being one of our favorite drives. The scenery was beautiful, and so many bears! Highly recommended.

[@danmcwhertor5922]

In Capital Reef drive up Burr Trail Switchbacks. Take Upper Muley Twist Canyon (4WD) to Strike Valley Overlook. Follow cairns to the actual viewpoint of the Waterpocket Folds. Be sure to be at Gifford House Store and Museum early in the day for the sweet rolls and the pies!

[@douglasgroff7648]

If you are doing Skyline Drive in Shenandoah NP and also going to Great Smokey NP, you must include the Blue Ridge Parkway in your itinerary! 469 epic miles of Appalachia splendor. There are awesome state parks a short detour from the Parkway as well: Fairy Stone, Grayson Highlands, and Stone Mountain. Our absolute FAVORITE National Park that rarely gets mentioned is Big Bend in Texas. Absolutely worth the trip and great for a visit in the middle of winter. The weather is absolutely fabulous in January (warm days, cool/cold nights). However, beware of crowds during Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Break.

[@travelingfool9096]

Hey! Olympic is epic! Hall of the Mosses is epic! But beware of wait times. Crescent lake the spit in squim (northwest animal park) Friday harbor is close by worth the stop. Mt Rainer is an awesome park as well check out crystal mountain the view point you can catch the gondola up and you can walk down. No free ads but here here or just ahead is some awesome travel guide companion is awesome to get some insider information. 130 hot springs in Idaho there is a ton on the road from Stanley to Boise with some great dry camping spots! Cheers to having a great summer so stoked for y’all

Don't forget that Skyline drive, which runs the east ridge of the Shenandoah Valley, rolls right into the Blue Ridge Parkway (another national park) which takes you across North Carolina to the southern part of the Smokies. Another great drive especially in the fall or spring when the azaleas and rhododendron begin to bloom.
