I got to meet Mr. Howser two years before he passed, so glad I was able to tell him how much he inspired me in the natural history of California , and how his show motivated me to become a park ranger . I miss him,he was a great person.

Huell was the Mr. Rogers of California

Before there was Yelp, there was Huell!

Huell made great, great television, which is a very hard thing to do when its a documentary. No script, no actors, no director, no special effects, just off the cuff and yet outstanding programming by Huell Howser, and very good camera work by Luis. One of a kind TV, I wasn't going to watch the full hour but got hooked the first couple of minutes and could not turn it off. BRAVO.

R.I.P. Huell Howser. Thank you for teaching me so much about my own state of California! You've shown me the beauty of my state that I didn't even know about.

So grateful for what Huell left us,among all the mindless television movies,programs, etc...I find myself watching his shows a lot,learning things,etc....and such a positive, happy person this person was,can't help but to lift your spirits when you watch his personality 😔😌🙂

God bless Huell Howser.

I miss huell so much what a great guy no shows like this anymore.I guess I'm nostalgic.BennieG jr

Huell Howser was a national treasure and I think there should be a monument to him somewhere. I just came back from a visit to Joshua Tree about a week ago and it was stunning. Those rocks are indeed more than just rocks. One looks just like a skull and you can see faces and inscriptions all over the place. We took long walks and the desert cactus and brush is beautiful. I would recommend people visit this place but take only pictures and leave only footprints. Also, we ate lunch at a picnic table right next to the Oasis. The whole time we were there I felt like I could feel the spirits of some of the early Mexican cowboys and later wagon trains that must have stumbled in there, parched from the desert, to get a cool drink of water. It was a strange feeling.

Huell! I will always love you! You were, and are, the best!

THE O.G. TRAVEL VLOGGER

Watch out for quicksand. There are pits of it that form here and there in the park out in the hills. Scary, I once fell in one up the my neck but friends were there to haul me out. Also there is a mystery insect that makes the oddest most bizarre sound that no one has ever seen an example of. Even entomologist are stumped by this one. You can hear it seemingly less than a foot in front of your face and hard as you might try you won't be able to spot it. PRO TIP: Your chance at 15 minutes of fame starts right here folks.

Rest In Power Huell Howser! One of the greatest ever! 💯💯💯👑👑👑

20 years ago this episode aired. Time flies. Huell did make things interesting to watch.

Miss you Huell Howser forever.

I miss Huell Howser. One of the great ones!

Huell made my day on many of his adventures

THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND

2:51 "Hot Marines" Oh, Huell...

I get even more excited finding its an hour long episode.

Remember seeing this after school

my late neighbor had a Desert Tortoise named "Homer" she had him since the 1950's and a couple years before she passed away at 96 in 2010, she gave him to a tortoise sancturary in Sacramento, He had lived in her back yard and hybernated under a end table in her patio room.

Damn that dude was rocking a wife beater!

God bless these rangers, they are some smart people. Protecting natures children

Huell Howser vs cable networks Huell wins. I could watch his programs all day & never be bored.😎😆 Is the History Channel even about history anymore? According to Animal Planet, many people are interested in building tree houses & fish tanks. 😣😪

Everyone (except Huell of course) was very informative. Good to see such smart people caring for the desert.

If you don't look at the color or the texture , the turtles legs look like chubby lil babies legs . Not smoking today . Just see things the ways I see things . Love you Mr. Howser a life well lived .

If Ernie was the Superintendent, this had to be before 2002. At minute 38 they make reference to the Eagle Mountain MegaDump that WE defeated in 2015 (it took 25 years to defeat). We love Huell Howser.

Huell was a true treasure

Huell was so funny, love that man. He said hot marines, hahahahahaha!!!!!

I earned a few merit badges there during my boy scout tenure, back in the 80s. Such a beautiful place!!

I used to go out there and go camping when I was younger in the winter time. It was cold and snow the night and melted off in the morning very very cool place. We would play U2 music. Yes. Joshua tree album. Great music great place

Great work, carried out by incredible people, for an invaluable cause. It is my profound wish to visit this unique country on our Earth 🌍

First time hearing to Huell. His oratory skills are amazing..

Thank you for uploading full episode!!

Before there was Huell, there was Ralph Story, but Ralph only did LA while Huell did ALL of California!

thank you so much for this!!! It will help immensely for my final in history of california at CBU!!! I decided to do my final project on joshua tree state park and this is just exactly what I needed!!! The gratitude is strong here!

This is like the best one i love the awkward moments✌ haha

Best show ever

I love that place very much....

Love the White Socks and the fishing hat LOL

That's amaaaaazing.

They go into Joshua Tree and on a path and the young lady explains there are interesting things one can see there. As you go along and look at different things one can go right off the path and get lost and cannot find their way back. But that is with any National Park taking it all in and walk away from the path and go missing. It seems many people keep going instead of stopping and wait till help comes. In the end, they are lost and missing and never return. Nut this guy had someone to guide him and that is good.

Yeah, I figure that every California's Gold program is twice as long as it should be because you have to give time for Huell to repeat back to the interviewee, what interviewee just told them seconds ago. Ah, such is Huell. I do miss his programs, though.

we're just surrounded by beautiful ecologists out here!

That’s correct Huell

I was hoping to finding out if they allow fishing. I have yet to catch my first Landshark.

i sh** myself when he yelled "TIME"

34:13 Visiting with Huell Howser: ASMR Special

marine base bright lights ruin night sky for star gazing .

More interesting than PBS Nature

Who performs that blues music at the end?

It's almost as though he's making fun of them but he isn't.

When was this filmed?

what about the natural power of the area? or the witches and skinwalkers

At 36:00 they talk about how bats are clean and generally don’t carry diseases. Little did they know what is to come in 2020

Bet that turtle likes that piece of wire cemented to his shell.

"It’s just about bat time"

Queen

People probably ate them back in the day.

When did he die

it costs 25 bucks just to get into the damn park what do federal taxes for if you can't even go to a park

THe US government should support National Park, not terrorism in Iraq/Afghanistan/Somalia. A park ranger is cheap, killing children is not.

Commentator needs to chill. Interesting studies

To bad he wasn’t Laid to rest at the park 🤔

***Who wears short, shorts?!***Huell wears short, shorts!**** Looks like he Nairs too!

(2:30) I Can Tie That Same Knot In Under 5 Seconds, It Took the Marines 30 Seconds , and I'll Bet That Not All of Them Finished It . (2:30)

Huell is goofy.

She has massive legs

I don't think that tank top the teacher is wearing is appropriate. He should wear a tank top a little more less revealing. Just not very professional in my opinion.

what a wast of tax $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
