@MerlesTravels We're loving California! Go Oilers! What a series. She says thanks! We love our mugs, they might not be tile floor safe though!

[@jrbixler]

Thanks for letting me tag along. Beautiful!!

[@tammy5785]

Beautiful! I love California (been camping everywhere of note in my state) and I live in Mount Shasta. Will you be visiting here?! You two are the best!♥

[@russellzauner]

how long did the filming permit take to process in real life? most people have been complaining but it's rare they're getting permits, so that was nice to see that it wasn't a show stopper to get it.

[@sonny1172]

Oh my gosh you guys! I am soooo happy you are filming in the National Parks again! ❤

Came here to say the same thing after noticing the 200K...well done.

[@crprovost]

Thanks for going the extra mile to get the permit so we can enjoy your adventure.

[@williediaz9312]

So glad you came to visit my backyard... Living in Fresno, California, I get to visit all these areas all the time You definitely have to come back when Kimgs Canyon is fully open and explore the true Sierra trails. 😊

[@timothyphillips2121]

So many of the places you visit have been familiar to me. When I saw you were at Hume Lake I remembered back about 20 years ago when my family and I worked for a week at the Hume Lake Conference Center. Your California videos are reminding me that the state has some very beautiful places to see!

[@frankvermeulen3279]

Sunday late afternoon/early evening? Check. Dinner served? Check. New adventures of A+K? Double check! A great start of the sunday evening. Thanks for another great episode!! Keep living your dreams!

I have visited many of the national parks that you go to but you always find new parts for me to go back and explore! Love watching your videos!

[@niiiiinasand]

I remember going there when I was 10 with my dad, and as kid you just don't fully embrace what you are seeing. So beautiful.. Thank you for you videos! I love how this one took me back to that trip :)

You visit the most beautiful places and your filming and production is ALWAYS outstanding!!! Thanks for all your hard work and bringing us along!~Cara ❤

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you very much!

[@danellunderwood7772]

I enjoy visiting national parks in their shoulder seasons before they're so crowded. True, there might be some things you can't do because roads aren't open yet but having trails and views to yourself is pretty awesome. And like you said, you get to do some things you might not otherwise.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Yeah there are definitely big perks to visiting in the shoulder season!

[@happycowabunga]

Great video! We lived in Visalia for 17 years and were privileged that Sequoia NP was pretty much our backyard. Keep up the great videos, you guys are the best!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@Ban-4-fam]

We live in CA and camp at Sequoia/Kings every summer! I love that you finally came. We most often camp at Hume Lake which surprisingly often has last minute summer availability even if we have to watch for a cancelation. You would have seen the campground walking around the lake. We’re plotting out our next Sierra Nevada trip now. We sometimes go to Bass Lake and do Yosemite as well which is farther coming from So Cal. I’m glad you showed the river levels of Kings River in recent years it has been at record setting levels, higher than what I see it is this year. You’re coming around peak flow season too. I’m glad to see you were able to go as far as Grizzly Falls. Last year we changed things up and camped at Grant Grove Village Area. As for Price is Right…not sure if you’ll read this but you can watch it and it’s filmed in CA. Tickets are free and anyone watching has a change to be selected to be a contestant. You get something like a mini interview walking through the line. I think they just want to get an idea of everyone’s personality to base who they select on. I went once long ago. A friend of mine has actually been selected and won the whole showcase at the end too. Her huge tv and living room furniture is from winning which is funny to think. Go to on-camera-audiences.com for tickets!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Yep we saw the campground! The whole area was very nice! After our time in the parks we camped at Crystal Springs Campground for a few nights. Price is Right would be a ton of fun to do one day!

[@veramats]

I won’t plan a trip without watching your videos first! Best travel KZbin channel!

We’re glad we could help! Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@bridgetO2O2]

I was road tripping when you dropped this video and I waited until I got home so I could watch it on my tv. But I just noticed the 200k!!! Congratulations 🎉. You guys are the most down to earth wonderful travel guides out there and I appreciate all you do!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Woohoo! We were pretty excited! Hope you had a great road trip! Thank you!

[@lisatalley296]

We always enjoy your adventures. This one was great as these mountains were my happy place growing up. My dad brought every visitor we had up to see the big trees! My aunt has a cabin at Hume and we have spent many weeks up there summer. We even renewed our vows for our 35th up there. You were lucky to be there early. They have a very large camp that fills up most weeks through the summer.very noisy. Enjoy Yosemite, that is another of my favorites. We moved to the PNW 45 years ago, but still visit my 92 year old mom every year. In fact she is at Hume now for the summer. Have fun, enjoy life!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That’s awesome! We had a wonderful time! Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@jazziered142]

Congratulations on 200,000! I considered you guys the best KZbin channel for van life travel. I went to Jedidiah Smith Redwood Forest last year and I just loved it so much.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you and thanks for watching! ❤

[@queyshay]

We JUST were there in May! We did Congress, Tokopah, Moro Rock… etc so it was so nice to relive it again in this vid

[@davesoucier5531]

Congrats on 200k! Hopefully you’ll be looking at 500k in the rear view mirror soon! You guys do an outstanding job of bringing us with you on your adventures and are easily one of the best travel channels on KZbin.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much!

[@xxemla]

When I did the big 5 in Utah and also when I visited Palo Duro y'all came out with videos of those places at the time. I just got home from visiting Yosemite and Sequoia and I see y'all upload this video! maybe one day our paths will cross, congrats on the 200k!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That's awesome! We hope so! Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@Beachwalker2014]

Thanks for a wonderful video of these magnificent parks - I lived below on the valley floor in Visalia for 40 years and these were in our backyards ❤

[@Hefmier]

I was just in both Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks, just a week ago. I was able to get to Roads End with my girlfriend. We did Roaring Creek Falls and Zumwalt Meadow. We also did the Boyden Cavern tour on the way out of the canyon. In Sequoia National Park we did Little Baldy Trail in contrast to Big Baldy. I did Moro Rock, but we skipped Tokopah Falls on this trip. We still had a great time, and I enjoyed watching this video. It brought back great memories!! Greetings from Washington state!! :)

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That's awesome! Thanks for the update on the road. Some other commenters were asking if it was open yet and we hadn't looked. Next visit we'll hopefully get into the backcountry and the end of the road!

[@alteshaus5627]

We we're there un the beginning of September 2024, Drove to the end of Kings Canyon Road😍 It was very hot but the roaring waterfall was great and the River, too.

[@itsjustmel1217]

Loved the Bird sounds in this video! 😊❤

[@kathrynh778]

I remember visiting Sequoia for 1 day briefly on a family vacation to the Yosemite area as a teenager, but I didn't realize how much there is to do in both Sequoia and Kings Canyon!! Definitely taking notes for the next time I'm able to travel there :)

[@jenniferschnieder6316]

Spectacular episode!

[@dawnhannon6302]

Another great video! Thanks for sharing 😍 Beautiful!

[@zach4668]

Another great watch! Super cool national parks! A great escape from the humidity of Fresno. 😂

[@michaelpitonak3396]

Love this video. Love all your videos. At the beginning of the video, Kathryn mentioned that the two national parks are being managed as a single entity. There is another two park system on the North American Continent managed as a single entity, but A & K have only been to one of the parks I believe. Before reading on, can you guess which are the two parks? Hint! One is in Montana. NOW GUESS... The Montana one is easy...Glacier National Park. It's sister park is Waterton National Park in Canada. Together, they are managed as a single park system by two different countries. Combined they are referred as the International Peace Park.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Yes! We wanted to visit Waterton Lakes when we visited Glacier a few years ago (very cool concept!), but the border (among other spots) was still closed for Covid then. We'll definitely check it out next time. Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@crosscountrylife4253]

So cool thanks for sharing. I’ve been to 4 national parks in California i didn’t know there was 9. Yosemite. Redwoods.Death Valley and Joshua tree and it’s so crazy how they are so different.

[@djjd8520]

20:18 ... " who needs fries milkshakes and burgers " ... I DO but also that salami and pears on that board you made looked great! not sure what dip that was but still also looked great

[@ThePierce5144]

I was going ask about filming in the parks, but your statement of beginning answered it. Great one!

[@lucymartyn8205]

Beautiful video , you never disappoint, very informative, bucket list places to visit, thank you!👍🇨🇦❤️

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you! ❤️

[@natlovell122]

Awesome video! I live in Fresno so I am an hour from both Yosemite’s southern entrance and about an hour from Kings Canyon. I’ve been to both many many many times in my almost 40 years. It’s too bad you couldn’t get all the way down to roads end in Kings Canyon. Jumping off Muir Rock in late summer into the emerald green Kings River is one of my fave things to do in all of the Sierra. The hike to Mist Falls out of Roads End is absolutely magnificent as well. Please do visit the back country of SEKI sometime, it’s top notch.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We will definitely be back! Thanks for watching!

[@jpadicecoffee9812]

Thanks for making this video. I've been wanting to go back to these 2 Parks after only driving past through last year.. Those sunsets and bird chirping, over van-made coffee.

[@mach318]

Amazing ❤ thanks for sharing video ❤

[@MrfiX725]

"No whammies." LOFL!!! Sequoia and Kings are my second/third fave National Parks. Camping on Kings River right next to the water is GLORIOUS.

[@maiaohe]

Thanks for getting the permit so folks can view these beautiful national parks. Great filming as a Ways.

[@peterkunka2694]

We spent a week in April at Yosemite and Sequoia NP's. A little early... Moro Rock and Tunnel Log were closed off due to snow, but we got to see General Sherman and General Grant. We stayed at the KOA campground in Visalia while at Sequoia NP (very nice campground!) and at the Yosemite RV Resort while at Yosemite NP (also a very nice campground). Both were good locations to see each park. Oh, my order of Bowl & Kettle came in early (I chose the crawfish and chicken options) and will be trying them soon. Oh, and another big OH!, congrats on 200K! Well deserved and will be here with you for many more. Cheers! Pete in Arizona - KI7LIL

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Even though everything might be open it's a treat to be able to visit those parks! There's always something wonderful to see! Awesome! We hope you enjoy the meals as much as we do! Thank you so much!

[@frankisawyer4878]

I would've died if that rock just all of a sudden went sliding right down the mountain when he pushed it! 😂😂😂 Absolutely love your videos! ❤

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

I know! Us too! It’s always funny but if it really happened! 😱☠️

[@donnabaker5787]

Amazing video. Thank you for sharing!

[@laprock]

I think it’s important to note that both sequoia and kings canyon national parks are very vast, it will take you at least 2.5 hours to drive from the entrance of sequoia to the very end of the road at kings canyon. Also, it’s a very windy road with some gut-wrenching turns, so prepare for that! A camper van is a must! 🌳 I did most of it in one day and quickly regretted it, this was due to all of the park-and-camping spots being closed due to COVID-19. It's better to take your time and take it all in.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Indeed! Good tips

[@adventuresofMomDadGirlWhiteDog]

Great video! I love how you explored totally different areas than we did when we visited Sequoia National Park, with the exception of General Sherman. I don’t think you can go to Sequoia and not see the worlds biggest tree!🤩 I also love how you found a great little trail to take Kona. Thanks for taking us on your adventures! ☺️

Great video, as always. We were there is 2019 (pre-van). We are looking forward to going back in our van.

[@AaronPressman]

Wow! This is easily one of the best videos you have ever made. Not just the visuals but also how did you get the bird songs at Panaoramic Point in? Awesome. If you are ever going back or are just curious to learn about the Sierras, I cannot recommend highly enough Kim Stanley Robinson’s memoir about a lifetime of hiking there called “The High Sierra: A Love Story.” Ps many years ago when I was 10 and my brother was 7, our parents took us to Moro Rock and we “ran away” up the stairs ahead of them. As a parent now and seeing Moro in your video, I’m thinking that must have been very stressful for them. Sorry mom and dad!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks! I’ll look into that book! I’ve been wanting to read some books about this area, more memoir style or personal experiences. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@ElaineDavis-dh9qk]

We love these parks!!!!! Thanks for giving us the itch to go back again 😂😂😂

Hello Adventurers, this was really EPIC!!! WOW...Kings Canyon & Seqouia National Parks was Absolutely AWESOME...and your about to travel to Yosemite National Park! Are you too climbing Half Dome?? This is going to be out of this world. I cant wait to see this!!! WOW!!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Sequoia and Kings Canyon were so epic! Yosemite was too! Were finishing up that edit this week! It would be fun to climb Half Dome, but we didn't try for the permit and they wouldn't have let us film it anyway 😏 Thanks, Al!

[@danellunderwood7772]

Oh and way to go on the trout!!

[@karinjones4380]

My maiden voyage in my brand new 2021 Winnabego Solis took place at Kings Canyon and Sequoia. My daughter was with me and I did the driving all the way up the next to the side of a steepcanyon on the way up from Fresno. We were on the outside of the road and it took some getting used to because we were up so high. I just knew I had to do this because I had just bought the van and my daughter was watching me to see if I could do it! I did! I don’t know if you got to the very end of Kings Canyon to a place called Zumlot meadows, but I think it’s probably one of the most beautiful places in a national park I have ever seen. There is a boulder Trail along the river and you look across a the river, across a flower field, with those giant mountains and it has all the goods you could ever hope for from mountain scenery! I think they have trouble with bear activity back there. I can’t wait to go back!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hey Adam, Kathryn & Kona! Those were two amazing parks. Looked like you guys were not crowded at all. Shoulder season I guess. Adam still tossing out flies and catching trout! And of course, your visit to "Big Baldy" is appropriate for my slick noggin. Keep on finding those trout streams! Question: I really like the background music in your videos. Don't consume too much time on this, but would you happen to have a list of some of those songs/singers, etc.?😃

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

haha Big Baldy very appropriate! I've been having some good luck finding fish! Catching at least one almost every outing! I'm creating a Spotify playlist with all the songs we use!

[@burningblueskies2266]

Just out of curiosity, what day of the week did you go in May? I am a huge fan of using the off-season and days other than weekends to go to parks. I don’t mind that I can’t do everything because it’s worth it to not have the big crowds. If you get the time, also stop by Calaveras big trees state park in Arnold. It is off the four and is a nice little park with more big sequoias. It’s one of my most favorite places in the world to go. I live in Modesto here in the central Valley and am still exploring all the parks near and far so I’m really excited to see that you were in my neck of the woods so I know what to do once I get there. Thank you for your videos.
