Journey on the Trail
США
Добавлен 20 апр 2011
Promoting people to get outside and enjoy what nature has to give. The channel will focus on: Backpacking, Day Hiking, Kayaking, Canoeing, Car Camping, Family, Getting Kids Outdoors, and Financial Independence (FI).
Getting kids outdoors and our faith in God means a lot to my family. How we raise the next generation to be stewards of nature and hopefully even do better than we have is key to the longevity of all this. Plus the joy I see when kids get out and enjoy nature brings a happiness to me I can't put into words.
I also focus on the Outdoors and Financial Independence because I feel that when you look after your personal finances you afford yourself and your family the ability to have more free time to truly appreciate the outdoors which is why I believe the two can go hand in hand.

USS Yorktown (CV-10) & Medal of Honor Museum Tour
My family and I had the privilege of exploring and touring the USS Yorktown (CV-10) in the Mt Pleasant, SC harbor near Charleston, SC in the summer of 2023. The Yorktown (aka The Fighting Lady) is an Essex class World War 2 aircraft carrier commissioned in 1943. We weren’t able to make it through the whole ship due to time constraints but we made it through a large amount of it and were blown away by it’s size and the ability to explore so much of the ship. They’ve done an amazing job preserving such an important part of U.S. history. We especially loved the Medal of Honor museum located on the ship.
I would highly recommend if you get the opportunity to visit this amazing piece of U.S. hi...

I was able to sneak in a day hike at Sharp Top Mountain in Virginia on one of my families recent vacations while visiting friends in Lynchburg. Weather started good but changed quickly…it got cold with mid 40’s, heavy rain, and strong winds to the point where some of the group turned around. However, myself and my friend Leonard pushed on to the peak enjoying some Type 2 fun. Unfortunately due ...

Quick trip video our family and some good friends of ours went on in early November to see one of the best waterfalls in the state of West Virginia - Blackwater Falls State Park.

It’s a pretty easy hike but there are a lot of stairs which could be a challenge in cold and wet con...

My daughter and I enjoyed a nice spring hike at Rockbridge State Nature Preserve in the Hocking Hills area of Ohio. We ended up with about 3 miles of trails hiked on both the Natural Bridge and the Rock Shelter Trails.

Hope you enjoy following along! 0:00 Day...

5 Year Old First Backpacking Trip - Zaleski State Forest
Did that trail camping years ago, was great to see it again. Thanks.
Welcome! Thanks for watching!
I apologize for the shaky video for parts of video. I underestimated my battery needs for my camera and it seems when it is running low it produces lower quality image stabilization. It also doesn’t do great on indoor video…something I need to work on better in the future.
Awesome... thanks for sharing...
Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for sharing your video! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for watching!
That looks incredible! We're definitely adding the Yorktown to our bucket list.
It was so awesome!! One of my favorite historical trips we’ve been on.
Looks like a fantastic family outing! Thanks for sharing your visit to this historic site! 💕
Thanks for watching & commenting!
Can campers use the pool here?
I think only lodge and cabin rentals include the pool. You can purchase a day pass to use it though. You'll want to double check with Salt Fork to be sure though.

Great video!
Thank you for watching and commenting!!
I imagine native Indians in their canoes around there in the 1500-1600s.
I’ve thought the same thing!! Last of the Mohicans soundtrack has run through my mind many times on the trails. Thanks for watching!
Nice! Beautiful river. Looks like your Jackson Journey maneuvers pretty good through the rapids? Great section of river to paddle.
Thanks for watching! Yeah the Journey is a great boat! Not the faster 14’ yak but turns like a white water. Jackson did a great job on them…sad they had to stop making them.
@@JourneyontheTrail Actually Jackson started reproducing the Journey in 2023 again. All the accessories are available on their website too. I’m excited because I own a couple Journey’s myself.
@@bigloaded8324 oh wow great to know!! Thanks for sharing…definitely checking that out.
Thanks for showing me a hike in Virginia that wasn't on my radar until I saw this. As much hiking as I've done in VA, I don't think I've ever stopped in at Lynchburg, I'll have to fix that 🤣
I can understand why…so many amazing options in Virginia!! Thanks for watching!
Lovely views my friend, you edited this so nicely!
Thank you! Appreciate you watching and the kind words.
Love the view in spite of the weather! Always enjoy learning about your hiking experiences.
Thank you!! This one didn’t go the way as planned but still a fun one.
Cool hiking trail up there. Love the rock formations going up to the top.
Thanks for watching and commenting bud! Appreciate you.
Love spruce knob! Our favorite camp site is on that trail
I’d been trying to get there for years and it definitely did not disappoint! Thanks for watching and commenting!
i know this video is a little older but would you be able to provide me with your route for this trip?
This was too cute. What a great memory. I'm sure she'll remember this trip forever. Thanks for the tour of the campsites.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Of all the trips I’ve been on the ones with her are definitely my favorite.
8:02 mark. Great campsite Really beautiful area for backpacking fun. The colors were popping. West Virginia is one beautiful state for outdoor fun.
Sure is bud! Thanks as always for watching!!
Awesome video.was there any cell service up there? And were the trails marked clearly?
Thanks for watching and the comment! No cell service that I recall. Trail’s were marked well though. There’s a long loop and short loop and there was signage showing where to turn for each option. Plenty of campsites as well but water can be an issue so may want to plan to drop water or carry extra.
Beautiful ❤
West coast mountain trails are much breath taking.
Why is WV the mountain state? 4k ft?! That’s a hill compared to the Rockies or Sierra Nevadas..
2:22 mark WOW!! That was awesome
Thanks for watching bud! Definitely a beautiful place.
Awesome video! Your channel looks really cool, can't wait to see more!! Just subbed too👊
Thanks for watching, commenting, & the sub!! Really appreciate it!
No problem, have a great day!
Nice hiking trail. I loved the waterfall area. Good job on teaching the next generation on hiking and enjoying the outdoors
Thanks for watching and commenting bud! I enjoy watching her reactions in nature as much as seeing the beautiful views.
Hello! Found your channel by searching for North Bend trails. After a Lumbar spinal fusion and a knee replacement, I am on my way to getting more mobile. Uneven ground isn't so good yet, but you are walking trails that are within striking distance of where we live. We have family around the Parkersburg area, and we are actually camping at North Bend next week. Currently doing 1 mile pavement walks, but I really want to walk the nature trails like you do. Thanks for the inspiration and info!
Hey thanks so much for watching and commenting! Which part of North Bend will you be camping at? Glad to hear you’re able to start getting out and being mobile. The rail trail might be a good trail for you to check out while you’re there. Lots of flat sections and cool tunnels to go through. Really appreciate the kind words…have a great time out there!
@@JourneyontheTrail We'll be at the Cokely Campground near Harrisville. We were there last year and loved it. We always have my brother and his wife from Parkersburg over to have steaks over the fire. I certainly plan to investigate what's available, and also hope to find a few paved handicap trails for my wife in her wheelchair. I know these are few and far between, but we can keep looking. Thanks so much!
3:58 in. Wow!! Awesome hiking trail. Really cool 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks bud!!! The trail definitely surpassed my expectations.
This video is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Awesome! Glad it was helpful!!
Stunning! What a beautiful area! I’ll have to live vicariously through you :)
Honestly I was not ready for how beautiful it was! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
It would have been nice to see an condor.
I kept hoping! Thanks for watching!!
I cant wait to arrive!
Have a great trip and thanks for watching!!
Were here now, settled into the lodge room!
That’s my son’s Eagle Scout project! ❤ Thanks
That’s awesome! He did a great job. Thanks for sharing and watching.
You know that there is a whole other set of shelters? You guys stayed at Pioneer Shelter 2. There are also the Souix Sites with 5 shelters and tent sites like Pioneer as well.
I’m not sure why but the other shelters were closed when we got there per the Ranger station. Assuming it was just a temporary deal. Thanks for watching.
Enjoying the enthusiasm! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Looks like a great afternoon.
Thanks for watching and the kind comment!!
Love the icicles, made for a nice cave aesthetic!! 💙
Sure did!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Beautiful trail
Definitely surprised us! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nothing better than than grilling outdoors
Definitely some of the best moments on the trail involves food! Thanks for watching and commenting!
As always really nice and enjoyable content my friend. Enchanted forest trail looks brilliant!
Thank you very much for watching and commenting! Always appreciated!
Cool video. I've never been there before and now I don't need to. I went along your journey lol. Looks like you all eat well on the trail, good stuff and good fun. I'll have to check this place out some time.
Thanks for watching bud! Yeah especially on these one nighters I try to eat really good! Nothing very scenic to see on the main backpacking loop but those shelters were pretty nice. Wish we had more places with them in Ohio and West Virginia.
Always a great time when you can get out into nature! Excellent job capturing your trek! Enjoyed the commentary, as well as, the beautiful forest scenery. Thanks for taking us along & sharing your experience. Glad we found your channel! 👍
Thank you for watching, commenting, and the kind words. Couldn’t agree more…every time you can get into nature it’s a unique and enjoyable experience.
W❤️W! Cheers for more awesome and incredible adventures!🥂❤️✨
Thanks for watching and commenting!!
3:02 that's a steep ridge!, nice job!! <3 <3 We love it..

Thanks for watching!! You’re out where we want to get to someday! Thanks again.
@@JourneyontheTrail it’s here for you anytime 😊💚. 👋
We went through the house today- it’s absolutely beautiful. The house is open and filled with period appropriate items. It was well worth the trip
That’s awesome! We would definitely like to go back and see the inside.
@@JourneyontheTrail it’s very well done
Holy cow that waterfall area was awesome Beautiful hiking trail. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks man!! I definitely wasn’t expecting it. Wisconsin has had some beautiful areas I wouldn’t have expected.
How beautifully luscious and green. What an awesome adventure. WOW love that family tree engraved on those bricks. We saw the dock and thought of the song "sitting on the dock on the bay" all of the hike and Stone House, is very serene and relaxing.
Really is a beautiful place. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great video! James River looks like a great kayaking trip. ✌️
The upper sections are a blast!! Thanks for watching bud!
