@@billbored8277 I back packed the grand canyon for a month when I graduated high school back in 1978. When we walked up to the entrance they would not let us camp there because we didn't have a car. So we walked about a half a mile away, then darted into the woods, walked deep in right near the edge of the canyon, found an old camping area, appeared to be closed for decades, set up out tent, found one good picnic table, and stayed for free for weeks. No one was there at all, we even walked into the opened camp ground area, to use showers and to get supplies. It was great.

[@treebeardtheent2200]

There are profound differences between travelers and tourists. I have travelled a bit, but I have never been a tourist. Travelers use maps while Tourists use apps Just a little rhyme to show the contrast. It's ok to be a tourist, but for the fullest sense of real adventures, the tourist approach doesn't work.

[@dobiebloke9311]

​@@treebeardtheent2200 - If by that, and I assume you mean, actually, I can't actually figure out what you mean. I personally think of 'tourists (even when I've been one)', as people who have somewhere to go, meaning an agenda. Were as 'travelers', are more 'adventurers', only using maps, or 'apps', to their benefit, which tourists also do. I think the distinction is about tourists, to travelers, to the adventurers, the last two, often coinciding. To be honest, it has a bit to do with money, as it protects you, and you rely on it. I would guess, the more money and agenda you have, probably, the more of a tourist you are. There are frailities in that thought, but I think it is often true. As far as I recall, adventurers, don't really care much about money, as tourists do, in the sense that they don't know what will happen, but it will all work out, or at least, so the theory goes. I don't really know, but I will agree, there is a difference between a tourist and an adventurer, even tho they might often end up in the same place, in the same condition.

[@treebeardtheent2200]

@@dobiebloke9311 You've got the right idea I think. I'm a hiker/traveler/adventurer The map vs app distinction is technically symbolic bc exceptions exist, but in practice, particularly on long trail hikes, those who are glued to their devices following every direction (how far to go, where to stop, where to camp, etc.) fit the tourist category. The app mostly makes the decisions for them and without their device, they are completely lost. I can tell you about near panic attacks I have seen. A real map is off grid, and it's a tool for someone in charge of their own adventure (old school). A map never tells a traveler how far, where to camp etc., but a skilled map reader/land navigator can get very useful info from a map to inform his personal decision making. And the contrast rhymes well. 😉

I love how you guys are so much a close knit family that obviously spends quality time together. These videos are entertaining for us as viewers from around the world, but you guys are doing something together that’s not only just being with each other and spending time together, but you’re learning things together as well. I absolutely love that and I will be using you in conversations that I have with others to help inspire everyone to do things as you do. God bless you!!

[@nathanfitzgerald6651]

I'll certainly drink to that, ma'am!

[@UnlimitedEarth_Jess]

I've been to all, but 3. Thank you so much for sharing! New Zealand is my top country to visit outside the US.

[@MontanaGMama]

I live just 25 miles from Glacier National Park....it is truly amazing. I can see the mountain tops from my back door. Would LOVE to visit NZ someday.

[@rockymwrs]

I would highly recommend checking out the Redwood forests

[@suzannethepatriot8049]

Yes. Nothing like the Redwood forest. I will never forget how massive those tees are

[@nathanfitzgerald6651]

Definitely! I live in a rural part of the west coast, in which I have several enormous, 4000-year-old redwood trees just outside my living room window. Redwoods are by far the most enormous, long-lived lifeforms on the face of this planet.

[@sidwha4665]

Skyline drive in the east is breathtaking. The over looks are awe inspiring.

[@TheJacoby119]

Horseshoe bend is breath taking. A few years ago my dad and I watched the sunset from the top and the next day went rafting along the river.

[@floydhill9265]

The US is so big, there is so much diverse beauty here. I wouldn't want to have to try to make a top ten list. PS - I'm looking forward to seeing New Zealand with you guys.

[@kellymiller4182]

Multnomah Falls outside of Portland Oregon is an amazing place to see. I live a few miles from here and climbing to the very top of the falls in well worth the sweat and sore legs - *big smile*

[@tobinhays652]

1. You have an adorable family. It's so nice that the kids are interested in things outside their element. 2. There are SO MANY beautiful areas that are left out of this video, it could probably be a day-long video. (Grand Canyon, Palo Duro Canyon, Smoky Mountains, Mt. Shasta...it's almost endless. Even the remote areas of the plains, the farms of the midwest have their beauty. 3. I can't wait to visit New Zealand!!! It is on my bucket list, and I will get it done!

[@Linda204]

You all seem like such beautiful people what excellent children 👍🏻❤️

[@wallyboy6666]

I think that if I lived in New Zealand ~ I'd never want to leave! Such a stunning & diverse landscape. It would almost feel like living in heaven. :) Your family is lovely! :)

[@ColoradoGrami]

I am fortunate enough to call the artist Robert' Fanken my friend and he lives in New Zealand. Back in the 1970's or '80's he created a beautiful movie which shows the amazing beauty of NZ. When he came through the US he shared this movie with us and it was amazing. Since seeing what he created I've always longed to visit NZ. You have a gorgeous country.

[@TWestenskow]

I live in, Utah and it's really beautiful here. We have tons of wild life, brown bears, black bears, mountain lions ECT.

[@jackinthebox995]

As an American truck driver. I can say we have about every landscape imaginable. Check out Ouray, Colorado, The Grand Tetons in Wyoming, Olimpia National Park in Washington State. Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. The Black Hills in the Dakota's. I would love to see some New Zealand landscape

[@baileypaliolonga5620]

Not to mention southern Utah, Arizona border you can find a lot of dinosaur foot prints.

Oh yes and Colorado it had so many different types of places from the dunes and desert to Rockies and very fast prairies. Was an interesting state.

"I've never been anywhere, really" says Nadine who lives in *_New Zealand_* . I live near Boston, MA, I've been to Acadia (in Maine), Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Grand Canyon and Alaska; but there are so many other places I want to see. Sometimes I forget how large the U.S. is, Sam mentioned driving three hours to get from the mountains to beaches. From Boston to Utah is a six hour flight! I've also been to the Canadian Rockies, to places like Banff, Lake Louise and several other beautiful places. You should check those out as well. Look forward to seeing more of New Zealand.

My parents always taught me the way to remember it is stalactites have to hold tight to the ceiling and stalagmites might reach the roof. The name of this video should be 10 beautiful places you’ve never heard of because by and large these are not normally what you would find on the top 10 beautiful places in the US. They’re beautiful don’t get me wrong but they’re just not what would come to mind on a top 10 list.

I have been to the South Island and loved it. Mostly rural and so charming. You have lovely mountains with skiing and lovely rivers and gorges.

It is so refreshing to watch this young family enjoy learning about a foreign country! We in the USA don't always get this excited about our own history and beauty! What a great family! We have never been to New Zealand, but it would be on the top of our list if we were to ever go to a 'foreign' place!

I've been there. It too is a very beautiful place.

[@stevemcc4447]

I’m really glad to see you enjoying this so much! My older son lives in New Zealand now, but he’s been all over America. We just took the younger one across the country, after he visited New Zealand. I let him drive from California to Florida. Taking mostly the back roads. America is full of amazing places. But trust me, we can’t wait to get to the New Zealand when the travel ban is lifted. Keep it up guys.

[@dobiebloke9311]

When watching the portion on Kauai, you said “Jurassic Park” and you’d be correct! Scenes from the movie were filmed there as well as Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. I took a horseback ride past a cave that was used in the movie. In my opinion, Kauai is the most beautiful place in the US. I’m from Washington State and it is mighty beautiful with the ocean, beaches, mountains, rain forests, deserts and lush evergreen trees. We have a little bit of everything but Kauai beat it all to pieces. It stole my heart. I’ve always wanted to go to New Zealand too. It’s amazingly beautiful!
