….. went parasailing in ‘00 an amazed spirience Plz do it @ least once

You didn't do any Half Moon Bay?

Omg Great video yes u both have great voices but why oh why Didn't u mention what a incredible strain on your right leg this is with the constant braking and accelerating Not to mention the strain on your brain having to focus on staying within the road lines. Also anyone who is thinking it's just a lovely stroll is wrong If a speedster is not happy with u maintaining speed limit they can go off on you as it is a One lane dangerous road... One time was plenty for me.

I always hated living in Santa Cruz. The most unfriendly people you’ll ever meet. And the most corrupt cops.

Great video, planning a day trip soon.

5:05 - I have never hiked to the top of Clouds Rest. Thank you for including footage of the views of Tenaya Canyon and Yosemite Valley from the other end. Beautiful.

I've been up there several times delivering propane to both peaks. I've been to the top of St Helena also doing the same work. Good views. Nice job on the video also .

Excellent video and information!!

This seems really boring

Super useful; thanks for the video!

Looks like sh it

Mexicans really mess it up by tagging their graffiti all over

There used to be an old man who was a ex-inmate in Alcatraz Island, who would sell his book, is he still there?

My great grandfather used to work there as a grounds keeper. My mother said that she was able to swim in that pool naked. Lol.

Went there this past weekend and yes the island is beautiful. but that restaurant was horrible!! I had pork tacos and they were old and dry and service was horrible. Avoid that place at all costs.

That's pretty cheap, very easy to spend more at mediocre restaurants in any city

wow you're a good hiker. im a scaredy cat and i hike by looking at hiking videos like this....im fine hiking from home 😊 thanks for sharing your adventures with us ❤

This is a nice surprise, I was just watching some of your older channel island videos last week to get ready for my day trip in June.

PCH starts in San Diego not Dana Point just FYI

kirby work as engineer by chance?

The first time i was at GEM lake was 1961, and most recently I've been planning a trip back; after some work out time. Still a beautiful spot. Did you see the cabin?

really incredible place! California blown us away 😍

Pinks is great, but you guys gotta visit Carneys! Possibly thr best burgers and hot dogs in LA and the restaurant is in an old train car! They have a Hollywood location and another in Studio City. Be sure to try a burger dog and the train wreck fries!

We took a group camping trip to Santa Cruz in 1961 when I was in high school in Santa Barbara. That taste of the islands left me with an appetite for more.

thank you! enjoy this video every bit! and bless your family! your boy and girl are so cute!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btRjjcx3rdLZfac.html It's Cuntifornia I'm running from. 'Cause the earthquake I know will come.

Are there any seasons during which the kayaking trips would NOT be advised due to water conditions? I’m starting to plan a trip there with my 4th grader who has had no prior experience on a kayak. I was wondering if there was any particular time of the year that kayaking would be better or worse.

Sir, that fountain is a LION.

Looking forward to my first trip over this July!

great recommendations Josh! Thank you!!! Since you're constantly walking and hiking, do you, Pops or Amy have any recommendations of walking/trail shoes that you've tried and liked, disliked, etc? I know everyone is different, but your input is appreciated! I don't think I've seen any videos on this channel. Thanks! 🥾👟

Looking for a national park closer to LA and this looks like it'll hit the spot. Wonderful breakdown and informative as always!

1:00:43 You can see police is waiting on the side to catch people speeding lol

We enjoyed SCUBA diving off these islands many times over the years.

I've spent my life in the SF Bay Area and have yet to visit. This is on my list now!

Great information to know for each visit. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend, Josh.

Truly an enjoyable video!! I see a coffee table book of arch's in Pops future!!👍👍

Thanks!

"Channel Islands National Park" looks so fantastic in your video thanks for the Boat ride details at 4:22 LIKE 225

Awesome video! I need to visit Santa Cruz as I follow the eagle webcams from one of the nests. We call the female "Princess Cruz" as she was the first successful hatch on the island after the eagles were re-introduced. She's still nesting and producing chicks each year!

Not an AD, but highly recommend Andria's Seafood in Ventura Harbor if you like fish and chips! Also he ain't kidding about the seasickness, I have been on 2-3 boat trips here, and there is always at least 2 people barfing.

Nice one. There’s a great video I’ve seen about the islands called “West of the West: Tales From California's Channel Islands”. Well worth a watch. Thanks for sharing…!

Beautiful 😻

One recommendation for if you want to spend the night before a trip to the islands and don’t have the money to stay at our nicer hotels. Comfort inn and suites Ventura beach is the only one I can personally recommend as a resident of Ventura. Pierpont in is nice and occasionally has reasonable deals. For a day trip, anacspa islands are nice and the east island is the easiest to get to but be prepared for a huge flight of stairs to get up to the one trail and small visitors center. There are put toilets but bring your own hand sanitizer because they go run out. Anacspa east has the gorgeous arch and has probably the best kayaking. Anacspa west is one where they take you almost to shore on rafts do you will get your feet wet and it’s only really enjoyable at low tide. The best part of the island is the back side which you will have to rock scramble and sort of climb to get over to the wave spout and other cool features of that island. No camping on anacspa west but there is on the bluff on anacapa east but there’s not much to do there snd it can get seriously windy. But they are great for day trips. My next goal is to visit Santa Cruz Island and camp there one night. The best thing about day trips is you get to see lots of dolphins and feeding frenzies of sea birds which island packers will at times stop for us tourists to enjoy. You may even see some whales. It’s a great place to visit. Def come early and enjoy vebtura marina. My fav restaurant is hands down Andria’s seafood. Best fish and chips. Made from angel fish. It’s very old school. It’s a fish market with a kitchen and tables which are mostly outdoors. Go and enjoy the food s as bd the boats. Get some ice cream at coastal cone. Take the kids to the arcade and merry go round. If no kids get a bottle of wine at the bar and grilled cheese place next to cafe Cubano. Same owner and carries the same good wines. Or get the Cuban food. Personally I love the grilled cheese sandwich with blue cheese and bacon 🥓 Thanks for posting Josh. As always come back to Ventura and hang out. It’s a fun little town

Good information about one of my favorite national parks!

How about Santa Ana island ?!😂

Never been n would love to go

Just what I needed. Concise yet informative. 👍👍
