We took a 2 1/2 month national parks trip this past summer and visited 15 parks. I have not been to all of them but I guess I am partial to some of my favorites. I take issue with Glacier in Montana being #13 and Zion being in the high 20's???. As someone else said "no Grand Tetons?". My response is light hearted...I just have more amazing places to look forward to
I think it's great you're highlighting beautiful places to go in the U.S of A, as some people (including myself) think that you have to go abroad to experience such beauty and be awed. Thanks for the informative video and pictures! I hope i get the chance to go see a lot of these parks! I really enjoy your videos! Keep up the amazing work! ^^
Also it is infinitely cheaper to go to a national park than it is to go to a major city :) You usually only have to pay a small fee of $5-10 to enter a park and go see all the sights.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, moved at age of 24 to Germany. Now, 9 years later, moved to Beijing, China, for a period of 2 years, starting on May this year. 4 years ago I started exploring Europe, Asia, Africa and South America with my husband. Over 40 countries... Our world is so great! Next stops: Tibet and Hawaii (first time in the US). Totally looking forward to seeing the north american national parks soon. Great job, guys. Keep going! :)
America has such diverse and incredible beauty, this makes me want to see all the National Parks! You forgot to mention hiking Angel's Landing in Zion, one of the most notable hikes on the continent. Also, if you're into something involving a bit more geology, the Petrified Forest in Arizona is super cool.
Second that, Angel's Landing is one of the best hikes simply due to the central eagle perch view it provides of the canyon! Not to mention the vertical walls you get to walk right next to, making for fun vertigo moments!
Haley Jenkins I just released cinematic video on Bryce canyon. Different style from the great video realized here but I’d love to have your feedback! 👉🏻 Check my channel if you want 🤗
HJ: Imagine walking along the top of a narrow spine of rock a couple thousand feet up, with a sheer drop on either side and a cable you sometimes have to relinquish your grip on to allow other hikers to pass. Angel's Landing is THE single hairiest stretch of trail I've ever done. As the brochure says, "not for those with a fear of heights"--!
YES!!! Love this video so so much! Some friends and I visited at least 15 NP last year as well as loads of national monuments and forests. Thank you for making this video. Awareness of these beautiful and history-rich places is the first step into protecting them and promoting further conservation of lands. Bless y'all! #Snapsquad out
It's hard to choose 29 out of 51, since they're all great, but I wanna mention a few I love that you guys didn't include: Kenai Fjords (AK), Bryce Canyon (UT), Grand Teton (WY) - the most picturesque mountain range in all the Rockies, Mount Rainer (WA), Death Valley (CA), and Great Sand Dunes (CO)... awesome video nonetheless! Also being from Utah, Corona Arch (where DevinSupertramp did the rope swing) isn't in Arches NP, and Horseshoe Bend isn't technically in the Grand Canyon.
Excellent list - I've been to many of the parks you mentioned. Death Valley National Park is also a great place to visit, a couple of hours from Las Vegas. It has flowers in early spring, fish that live in water 3x saltier than the ocean, snow-capped peaks, and another Star Wars set at the famous sand dunes.
Agreed! Death Valley is very unique. I caught it in all it's desolate glory. Rocks, rocks, and more rocks plus heat, heat, and more heat. I found it's desolation a fascinating spectacle and would love to go back and explore the park more. I was too exhausted to do so having just spent myself on Mt. Whitney.
Yes, agreed! I've been to all the parks in California and Death Valley is a close #2 behind Yosemite for me. Lassen Volcanic is another under appreciated park.
Thank you so much for this! I was worried while watching that you weren't going to include Colorado but then you threw them all in at the end! 😁 Also, thank you so much for stressing the importance of taking care of our national lands and picking up after yourself! I really appreciate all that you guys represent. Thanks for being so awesome 💗

I've been going to Colorado with my family since I was 1. Sometime I definitely want to life there. Rocky Mountain National Park has a special place in my heart. So beautiful. I definitely want to go to all of the national parks someday.
I think Coloradans can get a bit annoyed when you take away 1,000 feet from their fourteeners. Never heard about thirteeners while living there. Love the list though, I´ve been to 13 out of 29 on the list!
You guys should do the same thing with Canada Parks! That'd be neat! And by the way, now I really want to do a huge roadtrip across the U.S to see all of those places 😄
I have already been to 30 National Parks so far of the 60 US National Parks and all the places are completely amazing in their own unique way. So after watching your video it insipired me to go to some of the other Parks that still haven't gone and that way achieve my goal to complete the list of visiting these beautiful places that America has to offer😃
You guys have made one of the best videos on RUclips. I've seen plenty since 2009 and this one stands out for several reasons. So much intelligence, so much helpful information, great presentation. Now, what happened to Bryce Canyon?
I had never been super interested to see the US before I started watching you guys. I love how you focus on things that aren't on the surface - your footage is beautiful and so incredibly professional! #SnapSquad love from Perth, Australia xx
Love this type of video. Would love a video similar to this about camping spots around the USA. I'm happy to have a New England park included in your list.
Fantastic list. I've visited many of these parks - still need to visit Hawaii, Alaska and Arcadia in Maine. Maybe one day. 62 and still stepping in my hiking shoes! Thanks for sharing your video. ~Sherrie in South Carolina
Horseshoe Bend isn't part of Grand Canyon National Park. It's about 8 miles upriver from the park boundary. Also, Colorado is famous for its fourteeners not its thirteeners.
This is a remarkably good video - in that you cover 29 parks with enough detail so we get a flavor of each of those without being too long. Thanks Vagabrothers! And the photos are a treat! PS. I've been to about 8 of these 29 and I would recommend Grand Teton as a worthy contender in any list. Scenery and wildlife both brilliant!
I love our National Parks! There are so many to choose from. I am surprised Bryce Canyon is not on the list, it's one of my favorites and also a designated dark sky area. Great video. We were debating going to Arches/Canyonlands or Glacier and now knowing all the glaciers will be gone in 2030, we will definitely go to Glacier NP.
I've been wanting to a road trip for east coast to Colorado for awhile and finally started planning one for next summer! This video is exactly what I've been looking for
vagabrothers I'm planning a separate trip to Acadia and Nova Scotia next July but I'm hoping to do this road trip in June! I'm starting in North Carolina where I go to school and I think I'm going to head north for Chicago then west to Badlands and glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton and hopefully some others based off your video! I'm trying to make it a three week trip
Glad you mentioned Great Smoky Mountains. FYI in Late May/early June you can go and camp and see the Synchronous Fireflies. It is an amazing site to see.
Thank you for doing this. I used to live in CA and visited most of the Parks listed on the West Coast. Since moving to CO I miss the parks in CA, WA, OR, UT. Seeing them here was like visiting them again. Oh to go hiking in them again. But since I moved to CO I now have RMNP which I get to as much as I can.
Thanks for the amazing informative video of the national parks. Before we have kids, my husband and I did road trips to national parks in Arizona , California, Washington state. This brings back lots of good memories. Now that we have two little ones, we are holding off the long road trip and but we still do that are closer to our home like Mt. Rainier national park and Olympics. I wish I can do videos like you to show some of the easy hike the family can do with their kids.
Awesome job! Beautifully presented. You just motivated me to go see our Beautiful National Parks! Thank you guys for sharing, keep up the good work 👍🏽😍❤️👏
This was such an amazing video, so well done. I am so excited to get out to explore more of these wonderful places. We just recently bought the America The Beautiful National Park pass and visited the Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce Canyon for the first time and now I'm hooked and want to go see more.
I really like this vid. I love going camping and most of these places were already on my list to go camping with my daughter. One day I want to hike the Appalachian Trail.
I love Glacier and Acadia. They are probably my two favorite national parks even though they are quite different from each other. Thanks for this video!
Great video! Stunning images, loads of information, I love your channel :) I'm going to visit Sequoia and Joshua Tree Parks this September and possibly some others in California, this video made me look forward even more :) Keep it up, greetings from Vienna, Austria
I'm really glad I found this channel.. I really love travelling so watching your videos gives me motivation to work hard and realize my dreams . keep up the excellent work guys . much love from tunisia ❤❤
Changju Lee I just released cinematic video on Zion. Different style from the great video realized here but I’d love to have your feedback! 👉🏻 Check my channel if you want 🤗
I literally just got off the plane from cruising through Glacier Bay national Park in Alaska and it was the most gorgeous thing I have ever witnessed! Pictures for sure do not do it justice!
My boyfriend and I did a roadtrip this summer (we are now 10 hours from home -Montréal-). We went to the Badlands in SD and Yellowstone, WY as well as Banff in Alberta. Saw so much beauty and wildlife it's insane! The only thing I'd say is a heads up about hiking in Yellowstone is that you need a couple of days before heading for a long hike because the altitude throws off your body (we hike once a week from spring to autumn and had a really hard time with small accessions in YSNP).
This makes me wanna go even more to explore the national parks of US. Has been in my bucket list for a while but this video made me even more eager :D. Nice video!
Honestly, every National Park is amazing. That being said it really hurts my soul that Mount Rainier is not on this list. Having been to many of these parks, it definitely deserves to bump some of the others off.
I enjoyed looking at all the scenery and hearing about the wonderful places in the world. Don't know if I will ever go. Maybe. Never know. I think I would LOVE Redwood National Park and those Sequoia trees.
As a worker for the National Park Service, this is a fantastic list! After all, there are 413(!) units in the NPS so there are a ton of historical stories and scenic vistas from Guam in the Pacific to the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. I love Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan, near Traverse City, and Capulin Volcano in New Mexico, a great place to see the Great Plains meet the Rockies. If you travel between Yellowstone and the Badlands, Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area's Devil's Canyon Overlook is a great halfway point to stretch your legs.
Going to the USA next week, we're renting an RV and we will be visiting the National Parks in the western US, from the Grand Canyon to Yellowstone. Thanks for this helpfull video, I literaly can't wait to go!
NOOOOOO, you forgot to add the best national park:P Really awesome and informative video guys!! I have been to about half the national parks and you really hit on some key points for each park! This is one of the best national park videos I have seen on youtube!
last time i went to the U.S, i visited Florida. but I missed mountains so badly. So next time i go to there for sure im going to Wyoming to do some mountaineering Nice video guys keep it up!
I would add one more to make it an even 30. Shenandoah National Park definitely deserves to be on the list. Hiking, Skyline Drive that connects to The Blue Ridge Parkway, waterfalls, I mean...what's not to love. Also, it's not far from D.C. Otherwise, thanks for the great video. Looks like I'd better get on the road soon so I can get through your list.
I live in LA and forget how only a few hours these amazing parks exist! I will go to all these and hopefully document them all :) thanks for a great vid guys!
It would be wonderful if you guys could do an updated "Which equipment we use" video. Your videos have improved significantly since you last told us about your film equipment. Would love to see what you are doing now for your great shots.!!!
I just released cinematic video on Bryce canyon. Different style from the great video realized here but I’d love to have your feedback! 👉🏻 Check my channel if you want 🤗
Thanks for all tips ! Now I have exacting ideas what to do if I visit my friends in the USA - instead of just going to Las Vegas and New York 😜 and motivation to visit my national parks!!!
Thank you Vaga Brothers! I may never visit all of our parks in person, but am privileged to experience them through you. LORD Jesus bless you and yours, Mo Young
Great list, I agree with all of them, I just think you guys should have made it 30 and include Death Vally, because it is such a unique, fassinating and special national park. Thanks for your good work and take care!
Top 5 Civil War National Historic Parks (in the east): 1. Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. 2. Antietam, Maryland. 3. Appomattox Court House, Virginia. 4. Fort Sumter, South Carolina. 5. Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania, Virginia. I'm a Civil War buff, had to!
@@alexandersalter6686 I've personally never been, but would love to. And although being easy of the Mississippi I think Shiloh is still considered western theater
My family have a tradition that every summer we visit a few national parks. It is totally worth it. I hope I go to all 59 US National Parks before I die. So pretty!
I had an amazing hiking trip at Bryce Canyon NP a few years ago. Just one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Cocktails on the veranda watching the sunset over the Grand Canyon was also pretty epic. Kayaking in the Grand Canyon is definitely on my bucket list. Thanks for all the other tips though.
Sweet, I've been to over half! More traveling to do! Don't know how you left Mt. Rainier off this list though! It's kinda a big deal since you guys have become the official voice of traveling! 👏👍
Really nice presentation guys. I’m a huge fan of the NP system and have visited about 40 to date, most of those over the past three years. Zion (which actually does not rhyme with lion 😉) is probably my favorite. The five parks in Utah along with the Grand Canyon in northern Arizona are a must see experience. One can fly into Las Vegas, rent a car (fairly inexpensive there) and do the grand circle in five or six days. Escalante, Cedar Breaks, and Monument Valley national monuments are all on the way. Spectacular and breathtaking beautiful red rock desert scenery the whole way through. A guaranteed bucket list experience for anyone who loves nature and the outdoors. Cheers!
Zion rhymes with lion if you are from Utah. The first way to give away your tourist status in this state is to say "ZAI-on" instead of "zaiyun". The second way is to say Escalante like "es-ka-lon-tay" instead of "es-cuh-lant" like everyone else.

I have been to 46 of the now 61 National Parks. People often ask me which park is your favorite; I respond that it is like saying which is your favorite child. They are all precious and wonderful. One correction, Chaco Culture is a National Historical Park and not one of the then 59 National Parks; but still it is incredible.
Great video, just a small bit about Acadia National Park, Cadillac Mountain is in Acadia but it's not the tallest mountain in Maine, Mount Katahdin in Baxter State Park is. Overall awesome video!!

How Much Do Rideshare Drivers Make u
We took a 2 1/2 month national parks trip this past summer and visited 15 parks. I have not been to all of them but I guess I am partial to some of my favorites. I take issue with Glacier in Montana being #13 and Zion being in the high 20's???. As someone else said "no Grand Tetons?". My response is light hearted...I just have more amazing places to look forward to
Thank you
Wow, can't believe you included Isle Royale National Park. Thanks for doing that. Definitely one of the most forgotten parks in the system.
I think it's great you're highlighting beautiful places to go in the U.S of A, as some people (including myself) think that you have to go abroad to experience such beauty and be awed. Thanks for the informative video and pictures! I hope i get the chance to go see a lot of these parks! I really enjoy your videos! Keep up the amazing work! ^^
+Kristina Alger thank you Kristina!! We hope to check all these parks off our list soon!
Kristina Alger I love you
exactly!
Also it is infinitely cheaper to go to a national park than it is to go to a major city :) You usually only have to pay a small fee of $5-10 to enter a park and go see all the sights.
I've been dying to do a National parks' road trip and this just makes me even more eager to do it! Maybe next year? Great vid again guys!!
We really would love to pause everything and go explore all the National Parks! Got to do it one at a time I guess :)

You should check out this ghost town its close to Yosemite! It is in amazing condition! bit.ly/2KUerlu

Death Valley National Park ? Come on guys. That is one of the most unique places on earth

Going camping in big bend national park with my school for a week in 8th grade is one of my all time favorite memories.
Horseshoe Bend isn't part of Grand Canyon National Park. It's about 8 miles upriver from the park boundary. Also, Colorado is famous for its fourteeners not its thirteeners.
Other incorrect comment the rope swing video was not filmed in arches!...highly illegal, it was done on blm land.
@@nathanellison2371 I don't care to watch this poorly made video again, but the arch swing may have been Butler Arch.
This is a remarkably good video - in that you cover 29 parks with enough detail so we get a flavor of each of those without being too long. Thanks Vagabrothers! And the photos are a treat!

Excellent video! We are traveling the national parks this year with our three girls. Great information!!
I am so happy you guys included Mesa Verde National Park. It is my all time, number one NP and has been since I was a little girl. Awesome job!!
I came here after my social studies teacher had is watch it today. I don't regret it.
I just moved to CO this spring and you all gave me a couple of additional places on my list of parks to visit. I did not know about Gunnison!

Changju Lee I just released cinematic video on Zion. Different style from the great video realized here but I’d love to have your feedback! 👉🏻 Check my channel if you want 🤗
I literally just got off the plane from cruising through Glacier Bay national Park in Alaska and it was the most gorgeous thing I have ever witnessed! Pictures for sure do not do it justice!
Very nice and will certainly explore them one at the time! Thanks for the great video!
So glad that you mentioned Cris McCandless

Why so glad?? That's kind of weird that you are so glad they mentioned him.
Your Majesty why not?
Keep up the great work guys! Loving the channel
Grand Teton definitely should be top 10! great video tho guys
My boyfriend and I did a roadtrip this summer (we are now 10 hours from home -Montréal-). We went to the Badlands in SD and Yellowstone, WY as well as Banff in Alberta. Saw so much beauty and wildlife it's insane! The only thing I'd say is a heads up about hiking in Yellowstone is that you need a couple of days before heading for a long hike because the altitude throws off your body (we hike once a week from spring to autumn and had a really hard time with small accessions in YSNP).
This makes me wanna go even more to explore the national parks of US. Has been in my bucket list for a while but this video made me even more eager :D. Nice video!
I like the video Thank You 😊 Happy New Year 2021 everyone 🥳🎈🎉🎊have a wonderful day and great weekend! Happy Friday
As always, amazing work! Great job, guys!
Awesome video guys . Great information. I hope to visit all the national parks one day ✔
Great video! I got to study abroad in Yosemite for a semester and it was such an amazing experience. Definitely my favorite place to camp in Ca :)
GREAT List.
I'd add Bryce, Capitol Reef, Grand Teton, and Lassen. Keep on truckin'
Honestly, every National Park is amazing. That being said it really hurts my soul that Mount Rainier is not on this list. Having been to many of these parks, it definitely deserves to bump some of the others off.
TBH, I do not know about Gateway Arch NP in St. Louis.
Love the video I am currently on a bucket list quest to visit all of them, I've seen 4 this summer!
Nice video. I am planning to visit the US in 2021. And I will certainly visit some of those parks.
I enjoyed looking at all the scenery and hearing about the wonderful places in the world. Don't know if I will ever go. Maybe. Never know. I think I would LOVE Redwood National Park and those Sequoia trees.
As a worker for the National Park Service, this is a fantastic list! After all, there are 413(!) units in the NPS so there are a ton of historical stories and scenic vistas from Guam in the Pacific to the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. I love Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan, near Traverse City, and Capulin Volcano in New Mexico, a great place to see the Great Plains meet the Rockies.
If you travel between Yellowstone and the Badlands, Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area's Devil's Canyon Overlook is a great halfway point to stretch your legs.
Going to the USA next week, we're renting an RV and we will be visiting the National Parks in the western US, from the Grand Canyon to Yellowstone. Thanks for this helpfull video, I literaly can't wait to go!
NOOOOOO, you forgot to add the best national park:P Really awesome and informative video guys!! I have been to about half the national parks and you really hit on some key points for each park! This is one of the best national park videos I have seen on youtube!
last time i went to the U.S, i visited Florida. but I missed mountains so badly.
So next time i go to there for sure im going to Wyoming to do some mountaineering
Nice video guys keep it up!
Awesome video. I'm doing a California road trip next year, for my 30th. Yosemite has been on my list for years!
+Sarah Price Yosemite is incredible, you will love it!
Great video guys! Our National Parks are our best idea and greatest treasure.
I would add one more to make it an even 30. Shenandoah National Park definitely deserves to be on the list. Hiking, Skyline Drive that connects to The Blue Ridge Parkway, waterfalls, I mean...what's not to love. Also, it's not far from D.C.
Otherwise, thanks for the great video. Looks like I'd better get on the road soon so I can get through your list.
Totally agreed. I live 20 minutes away
I live in LA and forget how only a few hours these amazing parks exist! I will go to all these and hopefully document them all :) thanks for a great vid guys!
It would be wonderful if you guys could do an updated "Which equipment we use" video. Your videos have improved significantly since you last told us about your film equipment. Would love to see what you are doing now for your great shots.!!!
Where can I get that “See America” shirt you are wearing? Awesome video! National Parks can make you deeply grateful to be alive on planet Earth
So looking forward to trekking across all these!! Great info!!
Bryce Canyon National Park ??? - Why not on the list ?
Couldn't agree more. Only been to 5 and Bryce Canyon NP was our favourite
I just released cinematic video on Bryce canyon. Different style from the great video realized here but I’d love to have your feedback! 👉🏻 Check my channel if you want 🤗
They hit 3 out of Utah's big 5, so I'm not mad. But I think I would rank Bryce Canyon slightly higher than Canyonlands.
Thanks for all tips ! Now I have exacting ideas what to do if I visit my friends in the USA - instead of just going to Las Vegas and New York 😜 and motivation to visit my national parks!!!
Thank you Vaga Brothers! I may never visit all of our parks in person, but am privileged to experience them through you. LORD Jesus bless you and yours, Mo Young
made my own list based on your video. Thanks for sharing!
Great list, I agree with all of them, I just think you guys should have made it 30 and include Death Vally, because it is such a unique, fassinating and special national park.
Thanks for your good work and take care!
Top 5 Civil War National Historic Parks (in the east):
1. Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
2. Antietam, Maryland.
3. Appomattox Court House, Virginia.
4. Fort Sumter, South Carolina.
5. Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania, Virginia.
I'm a Civil War buff, had to!
What about Shiloh?
@@alexandersalter6686 I've personally never been, but would love to. And although being easy of the Mississippi I think Shiloh is still considered western theater
Love this breakdown! Thanks from
New Mexico!
Saw it, liked it, watched it :D
+philipp theo thank you Philipp!!!
I climbed to the top of Long's Peak !!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for including the Rocky Mountains :-) love your videos!
My family have a tradition that every summer we visit a few national parks. It is totally worth it. I hope I go to all 59 US National Parks before I die. So pretty!
I had an amazing hiking trip at Bryce Canyon NP a few years ago. Just one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Cocktails on the veranda watching the sunset over the Grand Canyon was also pretty epic. Kayaking in the Grand Canyon is definitely on my bucket list. Thanks for all the other tips though.
Was hoping that Isle Royale would make the cut but didn't expected it! ❤
Awesome video, as always, but made better by Isle Royale's inclusion. ☺
my favorite video of you guys! excellent!
Sweet, I've been to over half! More traveling to do! Don't know how you left Mt. Rainier off this list though! It's kinda a big deal since you guys have become the official voice of traveling!
👏👍
Thanks guys. Good energy. Singer-songwriter Island Mountain Pat
Really nice presentation guys. I’m a huge fan of the NP system and have visited about 40 to date, most of those over the past three years. Zion (which actually does not rhyme with lion 😉) is probably my favorite. The five parks in Utah along with the Grand Canyon in northern Arizona are a must see experience. One can fly into Las Vegas, rent a car (fairly inexpensive there) and do the grand circle in five or six days. Escalante, Cedar Breaks, and Monument Valley national monuments are all on the way. Spectacular and breathtaking beautiful red rock desert scenery the whole way through. A guaranteed bucket list experience for anyone who loves nature and the outdoors. Cheers!
Zion rhymes with lion if you are from Utah. The first way to give away your tourist status in this state is to say "ZAI-on" instead of "zaiyun". The second way is to say Escalante like "es-ka-lon-tay" instead of "es-cuh-lant" like everyone else.
Been to 3 of your 29! Crater Lake in Oregon is a beautiful place! You can even go down to the lake!
🙌🏼🙌🏼 many more to visit then!
#snapsquad I always continue to b one of the first!!! Y'all r super informative & male nature seem greater thn it is ! 💖🙌🏻
Thank you!!! We love the SnapSquad :)
I'm kind of offended Bryce Canyon isn't on this list
Monique J i love bryce, it is beautiful! but it is a very small park
Monique J I just released cinematic video on Bryce canyon. Different style from the great video realized here but I’d love to have your feedback! 👉🏻 Check my channel if you want 🤗
MAGNIFIQUE ! beau boulot les gars !
I've been to black canyon national park and it was AMAZING!
I have been to 46 of the now 61 National Parks. People often ask me which park is your favorite; I respond that it is like saying which is your favorite child. They are all precious and wonderful. One correction, Chaco Culture is a National Historical Park and not one of the then 59 National Parks; but still it is incredible.
You missed Grand Teton National Park! Definitely in the top 10 much less the top 29!!! But great list 👍
Shenadoah National Park during the fall is an experience.
You might dig Grayson Highlands state park.
Yosemite National Park is definitely one of my favorites.
Great video, just a small bit about Acadia National Park, Cadillac Mountain is in Acadia but it's not the tallest mountain in Maine, Mount Katahdin in Baxter State Park is. Overall awesome video!!
