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

Thank you for this video. My husband and I and our son used to go to Sequioa and Kings Canyon every year. Now our son is grown and married, and my husband had a stroke a couple of years ago, but this brings back lots of memories. One year, when my husband was fishing in that river in Kings Canyon, he lost a silver pipe that I gave him one Christmas. Did you know that at one time, Disney wanted to make Kings Canyon into a ski resort. I'm so glad that the plan failed because that place is too beautiful to get commercialized!😊

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 love watching your videos. We have been traveling the United States since we retired. We used to do the long hikes, but we can still enjoy them by watching yours. I keep seeing your videos and thinking, “We were there!” or “We did that!” I really would like to pick up a few more places that you’ve gone that we haven’t. Thank you for taking the time (and money) to do the work so you could film in the national parks. I don’t agree with them forcing that and we’ve seen a lot less pictures of NPs because people can’t or won’t do that. I certainly appreciate it.

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!

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 :)

Spectacular episode!

Those trees are HUGE and AMAZING! That waterfall was beautiful! Nature never ceases to surprise me! ❤️

I feel like I always learn so much about the places you guys take us! You do a wonderful job of highlighting what makes each area unique. Keep up the amazing work!

Brought back great memories from when I visited both parks back in October 2019! Learning about the importance fire plays for the trees impressed me, too. There was a controlled burn happening when I visited, too. And after I climbed Moro Rock, I found it quite funny that I passed by a Toyota Sequoia (ha!!!) in the parking lot covered in National Park stickers. I said to myself, "I wanna hang with THAT family!!!" Thanks again for sharing!!!! And congrats on wrapping-up the 9 CA NPs (I've just got Channel Islands left on my CA list now)!!

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.

I grew up in Porterville CA. My family would camp in Sequoia National Park. Love your photos of the Parks. Thank you for all the your videos. ❤️

Two places on my bucket list to visit.

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! ❤

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.

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!

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 KZfaq.

Loving that y'all are taking time. The video is amazing!

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!

Another great video! Thanks for sharing 😍 Beautiful!

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! ☺️

Wow such a beautiful place with so much to see and do...Happy Trails 🐕

Love those two parks. We grew up near Yosemite and just went back as well to re-visit. So many great parks in CA. Also, great detailed video. Enjoyed it.

Omg I freaked out when Adam tried to push the rock, I seriously thought it would move. I'm so stupid. 😂

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!

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 ❤

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.

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!

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

Long time viewer and just want to say how much I appreciate your videos. I've been to 38 NP's myself, but you get off the beaten track more than we generally did, so I get to see stuff that we missed. I looked at your checklist and I've only been to 2 that you haven't been to, Great Basin and Virgin Islands. Thanks again, Steve.

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

We visited back in '96, and my son's family revisited this year. Thatks for reviving old memories.

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

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

Amazing ❤ thanks for sharing video ❤

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

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.

Nice Work & Video 👍

Amazing video. Thank you for sharing!

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

Purple mountains majesty ❤

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 ❤

For such a big tree, Sequoias have a very compact root system, which individually isn't enough to support such a tall tree. However, in the forest, the roots of several trees intertwine in a way that they effectively support each other. That's a beautiful analogy when applied to human relationships.

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.

Thank you for sharing your adventures! Love the videos - educational and fun! Subscribed!

Congrats on 200k subs! Yes!! I love sequoia and Yosemite. Didn’t know about those caves though! Gotta go back to check em out! Excited for next vid!

I ran into you guys a couple of weeks ago near upper cathedral lake. I recognized you both immediately but didn’t let on and only said hi. Happy trails

Loved the sunrise clip at King's Canyon.

Congrats on 200K subs!!!

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

Perfect timing! We are planning a September trip to the CA National Parks. After watching this we are swapping a few around to make sure we include both! Love your videos, they were a great help the last time we took a long trip to the AZ/UT National Parks. Keep up the great work!

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!

200k 🎉🎉🎉 Congrats! Loved the vid. Both parks look so fun.

Love your videos. As new retired van travelers, love to get your travel ideas. Keep them coming!

Amazing cinematography!

GREAT video!! Amazing photography - sunset/moonrise etc. Bless you on your way. ❤

I'd love to also see where you guys camp on your trips.

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 :)

WoW guys what your eyes have seen is amazing for sure trees so Big hope some day to see that, but if not I get to see so much through your videos Thanks for making them stay safe

캐니언 국립공원의 장관을 볼 수 있네요..멋진 영상 감사합니다.

I have been there, It is a beautiful wonderous place.😊

Awesome trees, The loblolly pines are the tallest tree in Texas. It can grow to 130 ft. Also, the oaks are widest and biggest. In Massachusetts, our White can grow up to 170 + ft. Crazy.

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

We was in Northern California this May and Redwood National Park was amazing! We definitely want to go to Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park! Another great video!

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

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!! :)

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

Have been planning on going to King’s Canyon, so will combine the two parks. Thank you!

Amazing filming. So impressed

Congratulations on 200K Milestone. Totally deserving and a long way to go !!

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.

Another enjoyable video!! Thank you!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌

As always, we loved your video!

Clicked on immediately when I saw Sequoias! ❤

Another bucket list National Park. Thanks for the information.

I was just there last week! It was awesome I did Yosemite as well

Congratulations on 200K🎉❤😊 Yall are definitely my favorite ❤

Ok going next week! Hope most of the park including general sherman stays open

Been to Hume lake and kings canyon twice. It's amazing!

Congrats on the 200k! This is a great video - thanks for the efforts to produce it.

Great video, y’all! The sequoias looked awesome!

Oh and way to go on the trout!!

What a stunning and well produced video. The scenery just breathtaking and so well captured. Take care and travel safe. Subscriber from Cape Town, South Africa.

Yay Adam! Tres trout!

Absolutely gorgeous video!

Congratulations on 200k 🎉

Another wonderful video guys thank you so much!

Another great video! Love this part of California.

Perfect timing….we are going in August!😊 we are including John Muir and Yosemite

Thanks for going the extra mile)))

Love seeing the Old and Huge Trees. I watched many videos on the Angel Oak in SC

Love all those great drone shots! It seems like you used more this time than usual.

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!!!

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

I had been plotting a similar California swing and taking a week off work to do these. Thanks. So much for all the ideas and content to help me get ideas to look forward to at some point soonish!!!

We are planning a visit in September! Thank you for the info & congratulations on 200,000 subscribers!!!

Loved it! Visited the area for the first time last year and loved Seqouia so much. Also did Panoramic Point but it was so foggy when I had went up

Great adventure !
