We have made it to our 50th and 51st National Parks: Sequoia and Kings Canyon! And although they are two separate parks, they are right next to each other and managed together, making them perfect to explore in one trip. So we spent two days trying to see as much as we could!
🎥 We obtained a commercial filming permit from the NPS to film this video. And all drone footage was shot legally outside of the National Park.

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.

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.

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)!!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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!! :)

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.

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.

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!

Definitely can’t wait to watch this video as those are two national parks. I want to go to. Have you guys been to Lassen volcano national park or plan to go on this trip?

They have a video of them going (it wasn't summer and was still snow on the ground). It's in their 2022 Playlist I believe. The journey to Alaska

Yes we went to Lassen a couple years ago in the Spring. We won’t be able to get back there this year but we definitely need to visit when things are more accessible!

I went to these 2 parks on my 2022 2 month road trip. It is nice remembering that beautiful drive, Moro Rock, waterfalls..... Did you get a chance to go to Buck Rock lookout tower? I look for them, and this is the 1st one I found where someone is still working up there. It was awesome! Not a long hike.

We didn't make it to Buck Rock, we didn't know about it, looks really cool though! Thanks for the tip and for watching!
