THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!! Sequoia National Park - BETTER THAN WE EXPECTED!

Dont give up on Pepper, she is doing GREAT. In time she will be the BEST travel companion you could ask for.

[@cynthiajames3276]

Omg....WE LOVE PEPPER! SHE NEEDS HER OWN CHANNEL!

[@alej8902]

💯

[@StayWildWanderlust]

Australian Shepherds are one of my favorite dog breeds! She is beautiful! She will be a lot more adventurous as she gets older. It's great that you guys are socializing her from such a young age

[@donnaleonhardt9843]

Love the sequoias. Yosemite is my favorite especially in October when the fall foliage in bloom. Now about Pepper, beautiful pup. We had one and ended up giving him to a rancher. He wanted to nip and herd us as cattle lol. That’s in their DNA. Keep up the good work guys.

[@Skeletongirl-ql2ub]

hope it all works out because i luv you guys

[@marck2856]

One of the most beautiful places I have visited. The smell of the trees there is even fantastic.

[@EECCTravels]

It really is!

[@eugeneandmichellesmargiass6465]

This is the trip you remember when Pepper is older and a trusty pal! She will get there! Raised a Border Collie and almost to the day she turned 1 year old she got it and knew what her job was, God Bless you all.

[@jolene54]

Beautiful scenery. Wow, that Pepper girl is wild! She's fun to watch. You should take her on a transatlantic on the QM2. They'll take care her for you. Thanks for the vlog.

[@MissyDcherrydaisypie25]

We visited there when I was five months pregnant with our second child Natalie , she married her childhood sweetheart this past Sunday . I love seeing it again

[@betsyrose9233]

Looks so much fun!! Beautiful.. love you brought you fur baby Pepper..memories to cherish..our fur babies grow up to fast❤

[@bridgetward8037]

I love Pepper ! Travel will get better, we travel with our 5 labs in a TT and have a wonderful time . Yes unfortunately there are some restrictions on things you can do and may miss but will bring years of joy . Keep the videos coming!

[@gloriaquintana8509]

I really enjoyed your video. I think it's fun, entertaining and realistic. Kisses to pepper.

[@charlottependerstaph6683]

Little Pepper is just too cute! A great addition to your channel. I do believe they had a wildfire a few years ago. I remember worrying about all the ginormous trees. Happy trails!

[@nonaloeffler308]

Welcome, you are only an Hour away from me. hope you enjoyed the mountains. It is a nice drive. The fire was from a lightning strike we have a alot.

[@alexismelton6064]

🤩 Pepper is the star of the show! It gets easier with a puppy. We decided to start rv traveling with 2 and it was an adjustment. Fast forward 2 years and they are great companions and they are so much better in crowds.

[@kimcarver195]

Y’all are freakin adorable and Pepper just adds spice. Thank you for your videos and keep it up and it’s a bonus for us to see Pepper 😊🤗

[@davidevans6052]

Thoroughly enjoyed your vlog . I’m a Brit and visited Yosemite in 2018 and Sequoia last year . Both spectacular…. Loved seeing General Sherman

Love how real your videos are ❤.

[@ladyonlay7802]

Hey guys, love the new pup. Be sure you go to Big Sur and see Julia Pheifer falls - the only falls that falls into the ocean. It’s magical we spent a whole day there in our camper. There are several state parks in the area where you can camp. Love your channel! Cheers from Alabama!

[@danacasey8543]

I lived in Fresno 1977 -1980. Sequoia, Kings Canyon and Yosemite were day trips! Just like when I lived in San Diego, I didn't realize how good I had it, until I left! Poor Pepper! She is a puppy and a breed that needs a job to do (I've raised 5 German Shepherds). Get a little backpack for her to carry. Take her out in the morning with it on and she will sleep all day!

[@EECCTravels]

That’s a great idea!

[@cindybridges3046]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! Thank you for capturing this journey. Road Trip America is awesome. Pepper it too cute 😊

[@charlenefromholt5609]

We did Moro Rock on our visit in 2006, very worth the time to hike up unless you have vertigo issues...some narrow ledges to tra else with steep drop offs. We were there in September of that year and were able to take the road up to the parking area.

[@stephrossbrown2792]

Thanks for keeping it real

[@thestewartsadventures]

Visited 10 years ago and one of the most amazing places we've ever been. You definitely need to return for a visit to Moro Rock. It is a must see. The views from the rock are spectacular. Would love to visit again.

[@Robbie6603]

Yeah me and the wife travel a bit and when kids got out of the house and our family dog passed, we decided to stay dog free. Love pets, but not having one allows for the freedom to travel. Very cool park, thanks for vids again gain, stay safe. Doug

[@teresadistasi8037]

Great video! Beautiful trees and scenery. Also, Pepper is so cute 🥰

[@cherylmarks6491]

It's beautiful there

[@theathjr]

Y’all are right in my back yard. Moro rock is a bucketlist hike to the top. If you have any fear of heights it is not for you. I recommend you come back to make the hike. I would recommend starting as early as possible in the day because it can get crowded super quick.

[@MO-xm1kj]

I live close to the park. Enjoyed your tour! Not a controlled burn unfortunately!

[@raymondrieger8876]

Unfortunately you will probably miss one the best areas along California's Coast. The Central Coast from Pismo Beach up to Big Sur has some of the most picturesque ocean vistas anywhere. California Highway 1 is still closed North of Big Sur but the area offers plenty of beachfront camping at California State Parks and County Parks, Elephant Seal Habitat, San Simeon (Hearst Castle), Light Houses, and many more. We love your show and watch every episode. Your puppy is a real handful, the tight quarters of your RV doesn't make it any easier. Good Luck!

[@jarno1208]

Never been to Sequoia, but I have visited in 2012 the Muir Woods National Park.

[@candacedolan4857]

Pepper is a pistol! I've never seen a pup with this much energy. I think that energy just builds when she's crated. Then when she's out on her leash, she explodes! That's sheer love of life. I hope you can make it work. She's precious. Good luck and safe travels.

[@DoctorCara]

So pretty!

[@Fgduddy1604]

That is awesome one day I will visit those giant trees

[@barbb9903]

You were both very brave to bring a puppy on a road trip. She is adorable! Hope the rest of you trip goes well. Stay safe.

[@cassandrahitt8530]

My son has the same type of dog. They are very lovable but need a lot of activity and play time. They did have to have their dog fix to calm the dog down. Always on the go

[@samanthar6823]

I am so excited you are doing this trip. We are going to Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon in one week! Looks beautiful!❤ Oh and Pepper is a pretty normal Aussie. My parents and brother both have one and most chill, laid back dogs.

[@StayWildWanderlust]

Awww, you guys Pepper could use some training for sure but keep taking her places so that she gets used to travel. Lots of positive training too. It does take time and patience but they are so worth it. Try to avoid using shock collars though. We have a one year old staffy currently driving us nuts but would not have it any other way.

[@kayyeaman7071]

You guys are so patient. She'll grow up. There's light at the end of the tunnel. 😊

[@lorettachapman4244]

Our parents took us to the Sequoia’s back when I was 12 years old, it was awesome then!!

[@amandagale922]

She is a very cute puppy! I laughed when i heard Jason say "oww" in the background... When my husband a n d I saw the first video with Pepper, he looked at me and I immediately said "nope!" Lol We are planning on traveling in an RV when we retire and currently we have 4 teenagers, 2 birsd, 2 dogs, and some outdoor cats! When I go RVing its just gonna be us two because freedom is the name of the game I want to play lol But dangit if she isn't adorable!!😊

[@barbarap5278]

Great video! Beautiful scenery & that puppy, too cute!

[@jackieb1022]

If you ever get the chance, go camping there. They have many awesome campgrounds scattered throughout the park. When we lived in Southern California, we went camping there several times. It was outstanding! We had a blast each and every time.Before you enter the Park from the South, you go through a little village/town called Three Rivers. There is a gift shop and store called Reimers. It’s in a red building. They have some of the most awesome gifts, candies and souvenirs. Camping in the Sequoias is an unforgettable experience!!!

[@deba175]

I was thinking when I first saw you on road with new puppy this is going to be interesting , it's a baby all over again !most national parks and forests allow dogs maybe it's California ! Love to see that area some time

[@christeeny99]

Sequoia National Park is beautiful. I visited in 2020 and I did Kings as an after thought. Kings brought me to tears with its beauty. I hope you didn't skip Yosemite. I was there over this past weekend with my 2 pups. My little guy is just 9 months old. It was draw dropping beautiful, plenty to do with the dogs and the perfect time to see the roaring waterfalls.

[@EECCTravels]

I was looking online to NPS and it looked like there was not many places in Yosemite we could take her. We will definitely come back!

[@pecheturner6161]

Not sure where you are by now but many of the California State Beaches are also not particularly dog friendly; however, many county and city beaches are. If you get near Santa Cruz/Half Moon Bay I can recommend some. Love your videos, have fun.

[@aussiejohn5835]

I love this journey around your beautiful country, and I remember going to Muirwoods National Park in 1982 and seeing the amazing Red Wood Forest. When you were on the mountain and describing the very winding road, I immediately thought of Lucy and Ricky 😅. How many rocks have you collected along the way?? 😂

[@carolleiter6027]

I love the Sequoyah. They were named after a Scottish man who created the Cherokee's syllabary. I have been there many times, they are always working on the road.

[@judyannkiwi]

Find a puppy daycare for a half day or so, and get one of those strollers or backpacks. Pepper is the star of the show she needs her demands met before her day begins. Divas are like that.

[@lisapatrick1276]

Hey👋, I thought they need to put more resting spots on the way back up from Sherman, I thought I might die😳 the altitude plus the walk up was not fun but it could be. I’m 62 female so think about it before you go down, it looks kinda simple but breathing heavy and shaking legs all the way up🥵

[@zepptar]

That is my kind of dog

[@susanwhite2466]

Don't listen to the negative remarks, Pepper will get better as she grows. If you're not planning on breeding her, when she's old enough, if you have her spade it will help calm her down. She'll get it, the more you travel with her the better she'll get.

[@McClainRanch2014]

Hope you stopped at Reimers Candy

[@jodygirl2023]

Pepper needs to run ..take up jogging again? Park looked amazing!

[@keithcarnahan762]

Love this video..however..your travel channel is now center around your new dog. Something to think about....

[@robingastonia]

It would be so hard traveling with a pet. I have a cat, loves to ride, but mom never gets anywhere. I love her more than anything but I am thinking of her. It has been a very hot summer and the pavement is very hot for dogs to walk on. There is not many dog friendly places. You have to think about if you want to eat out at a restaurant and dogs can not go in. You want to see someplace, well some places are not pet friendly. Punkin and I just stay home where she is happy, and mom watches yt and get to see all the special places in the world that she can not go to, but Punkin is worth it.

Sequioas were planted in UK about 100 years ago and forgotten about and its only now that people are noticing these 'abnormally tall trees'. Apparently they love the uk wet climate and grow much faster.
