  • National parks??

    10 minutes of national parks and 50 minutes of SiFi book club. Come on. What is this about. If a were a 14 year old kid with no life I might like it.

    This couple does not give any guidance around permits or advance planning. And don’t expect to hear anything about trails except for the easiest hikes (they have 2 little kids so that limits their experience.) In one episode they spent 5 minutes talking about how they left one of the kid’s underwear at home. That’s the level of discourse you can expect here.

  • Such great hosts!

    We’re going to several National Parks this year and discovered this podcast while planning. It has been so much fun to learn about these parks before going from people that truly love them.
