Ash and John are so fun to listen to. Their stories are engaging, funny, and you learn a lot about the parks. As a mom, I appreciate their perspective about bringing children along, as well as tips for hiking and exploring. Keep up the great work!
I recently discovered Exploring the National Parks and quickly became obsessed. I binge 4-5 episodes at a time sometimes. Ash and John have the rare talent of being highly informative while also being engaging and fun to listen to.
We were just at Mammoth National Park. Unfortunately most of it was closed. We did get to hike and camp.
Thanks for your information!
I am SO grateful to have found this podcast when planning mine and my husband’s 10yr wedding anniversary trip to Glacier!! I listened to the Glacier episodes at least 10 times each, which made for a PERFECT trip. Annnddd now I’m listening to all of the others to plan our next trip (with our 3 kids) and trying to figure out when we can go back to Glacier next!
I love this podcast! We used several episodes to plan a trip to Redwoods and northern CA and it made our trip easier and much more fun!
