We did a whole lot in Rocky Mountain National Park in less than 24 hours! In last week’s episode, • TRYING TO BEAT THE WEA... , we got to our site in Moraine Campground and headed right out to drive the Old Fall River Road over the pass to Grand Lake and back for an amazing sunset at the top!
Very early the next morning, we headed out for #sunriseanddonuts at Bear Lake and hiked Emerald Lake Trail, a 3.2 mile out and back trail that leaves from Bear Lake and passes 2 other lakes before the insane view of Emerald Lake surrounded by majestic mountians and a stunning waterfall..
Corey’s dad jokes were in full force for this hike, and we got so see even more wildlife including the beef jerky eating kind!
We were back to the truck before 10am showing that you can do so much in this park in less than 24 hours! We don’t recommend rushing through your time in National Parks, but sometimes your time is limited and for others, the weather may not be good the whole time, so you need to do what you can, when you can.
One of the down sides to getting sites through cancellations is that sometimes you have to move in the middle of your stay. We used this as an opportunity to dump our tanks and fill up on water. It is always such a nice BONUS when your next site is better than your last!
Our 2nd day in Rocky Mountain National Park ended with a delicious dinner made completely over the fire! Thankfully, there was only one casualty!
Stay tuned for the next episode as we score one of the best sites we have ever had and get up for the earliest sunrise to date! Be sure to like and subscribe and click on the bell icon for notifications when we release new videos!

'This here is a happy Dad' says it all about this family. A dad and Lilly moment 💖
U guys are amazing parents these girls will never forget their travels strong family bond and thank u for taking us along another great vlog.
Thank you so much for following along with us and for your kind words about the girls. They are both incredible young women and we can’t wait to see where their futures take them. We are so thankful for this time we have had as a family during these years of their lives. 😊
3 words: Award Worthy. 😂. But I’m not kidding. This episode should be entered into some kind of contest. Superb video of RMNP, awesome music, great dialog and story arc. Your channel might be the best on all of YT. Thanks for doing this and letting me/us tag along on your grand adventure.
WOW! Thank you so much for your amazing compliments! We are so glad you enjoyed it and that you were able to join us tonight! Looking forward to sharing more from this amazing park next week as well!
I agree!!!
Love that you guys respect the "tenters" by being quiet. So many people just aren't nice and thoughtful to others anymore.
back about 35 years I had a cancerous tumor removed from my bladder. I remember talking to a co-worker about his own battle and he said "Dave, I find my best treatment is to do something you love, often I go to the little league field and reminisce about my children and the awesome times we had together, and coaching them". 35 years later, I am battling prostate cancer and carcinoid cancer. My best memories are of camping trips with Mary Jo and David Junior. Your journey to Rocky Mountain National Park is helping me with the treatment. One of our road trips was our 'Western Trip" though we didn't specifically go to Rocky Mountain National Park, we did get to the Grand Tetons, Grand Canyon, and Mount Rushmore, with several other National Park, visit on our way out and back. So much of what you have seen and captured on video is familiar. Especially the Elk that we saw in Yellowstone. I think of the elusive bears that we never saw, but were always about 2 miles from where they were "last seen" We even saw the friendly chipmunks. We have now seen more bears in Glastonbury, CT than out west.
Enjoy your journey to finding you Someday! And thanks for sharing it with me. Good Bless and Safe Travels.
I’ve been through the prostate cancer about 8-9 years ago. It’s a tough time but you are better knowing your life has been well lived with your family. Prayers for you tonight Dave. 🙏 Hang in there!
I want to say thank you for all the beautiful scenery. Also have to say your wife and daughters and you bring tears of joy on how a family should be. Thank you for the beautiful scenery you bring of God's county in your videos. We look forward to watching your videos every week. I know I will never see most of these places except through your videos. So thank you....
It is a pleasure to have you along with us on our journey. We always hope that our videos will bring a little bit of joy and happiness to others and share places with some who may never be able to see them in person. Thank you for joining us tonight and taking the time to share your kind words. It means more than we can express.
Love that your teens appreciate the beauty in nature! And LOVE that your youngest still holds your hands. Precious moments to treasure!!!
They definitely love it out here! It’s actually my oldest, Lily is 17 and Leila is 15 , but yes, moments to treasure 😊
Oh my gosh you guys are killing me with your awesome grilling! I really enjoy your weekly video's. You are all so talented with your photography, narration and Lily with her art and design and Layla with her love for animals. Your family Rocks!
That was a good meal! Thank you for being with us each week and for your very kind words! So grateful for our amazing audience and their support! 🙌
Thank you for being kind to tenters 😊 we appreciate it!
You've never lived until you have seen Emerald in early July when there is snow and part of it is icy. There's nothing like it early in the season. We have done this hike probably 15 times over the years. We never tire of it.
This has to be my favorite video you've done. The music,the sites,the hike but most of all the moment of holding your daughters hand. You are the example of what her future husband must be.
We have three fire methods. I (Gramppa Beard) usually do the log cabin method, but will sometimes do the teepee thing. But sometimes, I want a small fire that I can keep burning all day. Then I use the "sunray" method.
The sunray method is much easier when not confined by a campsite fire ring. The idea is to have 5-7 sticks laid out like rays from the sun. Where they meet in the center, they can stack a little for lighting. That center is the only place where there is going to be fire. As the ends of the sticky burn, I push them in towards that center. When a stick is burned up, add another and continue.
It doesn't work with logs unless you split them into 3" or smaller pieces.
Thanks so much for the Fire recommendation! We will have to try the sun-ray version! Thanks for joining us and taking the time to comment!
Thats how memories are made and never forgotten. The campground probably smelled so good that night.
I think it did smell pretty good🫣 very good memories thank you 🙏
As a father of three daughters I enjoy your videos more than any others I follow on RUclips because of the relationship you have with your girls. My girls are grown now and my wife and I are full timers so we don’t get to see them as much as we would like so I’m living a little vicariously through you guys.
Very nice to read, thank you 🙏 I’m not too far behind you as far as our “full time” life left with them. I’m trying to enjoy as much time as possible!
His Glory Abounds Everywhere!!! Ahhhmazing!!!
Hey! Nuke your potatoes for 3-4 minutes first then you can put them on the same spear as the meat. All cook over the fire n the same amount of time. Can’t believe I haven’t found your videos sooner, love you guys. Great family!
Thanks for the tip! We have done that before but they haven't always come out evenly. So glad you found us! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
My new favorite RV lifestyle channel. Love the family, the hikes, the optimism, the incredibly beautiful shots. All of it. Blessed.
We usually lay 3 sticks in an A on the ground. Then lay kindlin sticks across the hole in the A and then buld a teepee over that. We start the fire with lint from the clothes dryer that we stuff under the kindlin on the A and usually get an instant fire and just add bigger sticks until the coals and flame is big enough to add logs. Then in the morning when we wake up there are usually enough hot coals left to start a fire without the need to rebuild a teepee.
It never fails! You always make my mouth water even after I've already had dinner.
This had my mouth watering as I edited the footage! Thanks for watching!
Thank you Nickersons!! Watching you guys and your travels helps keep me going till I can start mine! You are my Sunday bit of hope.
We love hearing this, Gino! Thank you for joining us this week and for your support! Can’t wait until you are out here SOMEDAY soon!
Spent 11 days in RMNP recently. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
That’s a good amount of time 💪 you’re Welcome ☺️ thanks for watching 🙌
All food is better when cooked over open fire
Love the sunrise and doughnuts wherever you are.
I agree, you go back to the basics and really feel like you earned it, on top of the extra flavor!
That sequence of Corey starting the fire, WOW. I re-watched that like 4 times. So Epic.
So glad you liked it! This was a fun one to edit. Rocky Mountain was seriously amazing!
Tell Lily I didn't get my ears pierced until I was 51 with my daughter who turned 21. No shame young lady. Have fun with them. Love you are in my state of CO. We are up in Fort Collins. Love you guys❣️ Safe travels😊🤗🌞
Welcome to Rocky! I live 10 miles from Estes park. In the Big Thompson Canyon. Enjoy our glorious state.
Thank you for reminding me of my Honeymoon trip to Colorado (included blizzard on Independence Pass, Breckenridge, Silver Springs, Estes Park/RMNP!) Log cabin burning into tepee fire (no blower, though (ha, ha!)) Kabobs - Meats maybe w/ Onion chunks, Veggies Separate for the most part, Fresh Pineapple chunks w/ a little spicy heat - Oh Yeah! Dream Lake hands down. We took a trail above all of these lakes and were able to see over them and others, couldn't make my knees do it now, though. The photography and filming just keep getting better, You spread love, beauty and Happiness.

Editing 10/10
Awesome job guys:)
Well done.
Appreciate the compliment 🙌👊
Chag Sukkot Sameach!
Thanks for taking me along - gives me so much joy seeing the beauty of creation! Been bummed cause i can't get my tent up & no one to help me😔
4 mi hike? Up @ 4am? Not anymore for me! My walker doesn't work at 4am and wouldn't make it four miles even with me pushing! 😄😄 Only time i considered being up @ 4am was when Uncle Sam paid me! 😄😄😄😄😄
Cool kabobs - on my list for later this week! (NO shrooms)
Thanks again! 😊
We are so happy to have you with us! 4am is really early to get up, and we will be sharing our earliest sunrise every in the next video, but we do love the times of year like right now out West when sunrise is at 7:40am!😂 Let us know how your kabobs come out and we don’t do mushrooms either!😉
Nice video. Great family experience. We did RMNP in 1992! We did Trail Ridge Road, Bear Lake to Alberta Falls, and Longs Peak! I only made it to the Keyhole at 13,200 ft but it was an amazing hike. 30 years later and a 4 mile hike in the Blue Ridge mountains is all I want to do, but I still get out there. PS: I like the meat kabob, no green peppers for me....
We were just at Bear Lake as the leaves began to change, It was amazing. I cant wait to go back and spend time on the west side.
oh my gads you had me crying Again ... how beautiful is our land ....
We just returned home yesterday from RMNP and just now watched this video. We were able to pinpoint when you were there by the sunrise time you stated (Thursday August 4). They had closed Fall River Road for the season while we were there. And the road to Grand lake was very iffy. We made it up to the Alpine Visitors Center and it began snowing pretty heavily. We were told that if we went on to Grand Lake that there was a chance the pass might be closed before we made our return run and we would have to go the long way around. 3.5 hours! We decided to pass on that! So it great to see your video of it since we missed that side. We love all your videos! Keep posting them!
It must be so awesome to see the top of the mountain with snow! We actually just had someone write to us today saying that they went over to Grand Lake and the pass closed and they had to make that 3.5 hour drive to get back to their RV! You guys made a good choice! Really excited to share even more of our amazing time in the park next week! Thanks for being here and sharing your story!
That shot of Bear lake was so beautiful worth getting up early.🙂🇨🇦❤👍
It is always worth it to get up early and explore the beautiful places around us!
Lilly almost made me cry when she said "Daddy"
I started to smell grilled meat over an open flame and I grabbed my phone ! Sure enough ya’ll were grillin ! Haha. Safe Travels Amigos 👊🏼
Yup, definitely us😂 thank you! Have a great rest of the night 😊
FIRE PIT? the best way is to tepee the logs, place a rolled up newspaper in the middle of the logs , if you can find pine cones in the area, place them also in the middle, the oil from the pines will make the fire burn at a correct temp. to bbq.
Bear Lake in the Spring of '21 had snow over the walkway. Wanita walked on the snow covered trail to the lake but I kept my bad knee on more solid ground. Still loved the park even with many of the roads closed.
We have heard that the weather can be crazy in the spring and fall. Many people have written that they are there now and the pass is closed because of weather. I bet it Bear is just beautiful with snow all around! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Oh my gosh! The scenery is so beautiful! I look forward to going there! Thank you guys so much!
Great , I'm ready for bed chilling out watching you show, now I'm starving for meat and potatoes! Lol
Awesome guys .
Enjoy the RV lifestyle & B safe .

Thanks so much for joining us tonight! I was feeling the same way editing those scenes!😃
I love camping even if someone else is doing it. Open fire cooking is the first way i learned to cook when camping. We used to take our own setup to put over the fire. Now i use the grille from the Weber and rocks. Love where you guys are at. The photography has been fantastic.
once upon a time I found myself constantly reminding my son to look at the beautiful views that we had in front of us. when we had some quiet time he mentioned that the view out the back window was "less than perfect" now that you have a licensed driver I suggest, perhaps Corey and Jess in the backseat and Lily and Layla assuming the producer and director's role...
might be kinda fun.
Corey..... your dad-ism's are killer!! The girls will never forget!!
Unfortunately you’re right 😂
Very beautiful. Thanks for taking us along!
Thank you, and thanks for coming 😊
Thank you for taking me on this great adventure with you! Great scenery and it was great seeing some wild life. Corey I could smell the kabobs through my device. Lol! Looked good and smelled good! Great job Corey and Jess! Have a great night and rest of the week and weekend.
Loved this. Beautiful morning hike, sisterly love, father daughter hand in hand, mother daughter arm in arm and food over a camp fire doesn’t get better than that. The memories made… 🥲 perfect.
Total tee pee fire, cooking kabobs on the open fire is the best, yes meat, onion, peppers….all other components must be on separate skewers… make a sauce on Mayo, heavy garlic and hot red pepper sauce….yum yum!
That sauce sounds great! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Beautiful country. You captured it well. Thanks for showing your grilling techniques. 👍
Thank you! And hope you are able to have dome over the fire kabobs soon! I know we will be!
What an amazing adventure! Thank you all for sharing ❤️
Thank YOU for being here with us tonight and taking the time to comment!
Love RMNP. We go up there often and hang out for the day and do some different hikes in the park. At my buddies cabin in Grand Lake he has moose in his backyard at least 2 times a week. It really is a great area to live. Thanks for the video.
Beautiful hike, beautiful lake, beautiful elk, beautiful food, and beautiful family. ❤😊👍
Congrats on finishing your Solar system!!! Having a similar setup with 2 more lions and 1200 watts on the roof, the only real changes we make when off grid, are we switch the water heater and fridge over to Propane and I unplug the outdoor fridge (We have an Imagine 3250BH so similar to yours in size) the static draw is 1-3 amps on our system, so insignificant I dont even think about it. If we will be boondocking for a longer time, I will unplug the recliners, and charging cords until we need them, try to limit microwave use, other than that we just use everything as normal. we do like to watch local news if we can get it, so we will even use the TV as normal, it really doesnt draw much. Im sure by now you have gotten more comfortable with your system. my one tip would be. if you dont already have spare fuses for everything, including the big 300 or 400 amp battery bank fuse (ours is 400 amp and I have blown it, yes it stinks) there are odd situations that can make things not go as planned, and that was one of them. I had a charge current setting too high and my batteries were at like 5%, I plugged into a 30 pedestal, we turned on the A/C, throw in an iffy Crimp on a 4/0 cable and everything went dead and all I smelled was burning electrical (no damage). Fortunately I had an extra fuse, and final diagnosis was due to Victron data I could retrieve off the internet, I was able to see the spike on the historical graph. Love Victron, and Lion Energy!!!!
I follow a few rving youtubers, You I follow for many reasons but your stunning photography is second to none!
Really appreciate your kind words! Thank you so much for joining us each week! 🙏
Beautiful as always, Thanks for taking us along!
Really appreciate you being with us! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Thank you so much for what you guy’s do. Your photography is amazing. Thanks for getting up real early and staying up late for just the right lighting. What a life you have given your girls. Oh and thanks for keeping your truck clean , I now get less grief from my wife when we travel and I want to wash my truck. Thanks again for making our Sunday night.
Again you manage to capture some awesome shots and video. Thanks for letting us all tag along in your adventures. Truly love the way you present nature and your family adventures. Cory you’re a man of many talents.
Thanks, man. Appreciate it. Really glad you enjoyed this one! This park was unreal and we can’t wait to share more this coming Sunday!
Whatever works best for your taste is right!
The Grillmiester is at it again! Looks like another great family meal!
This one was incredible and we need to get kabobs on the menu again after editing this one! 😂
Nothing like supper by starlight to end an amazing day. Taters wrapped in foil and thrown into the fire is my tried and true method. Add a little butter, salt, pepper and it becomes saliva inducing. Thanks so much for sharing your journey(s) & safe travels wherever you are.
While you were stoking the fire and watching it get darker and darker. I expected one of those ‘4 hours later’ clips…. Looked amazing
Oh! My favorite Rocky Mountain hike! Haven’t been there for a while. Enjoyed going with you. Thanks!
This one was highly recommended and we totally understand why!😃
Nothing like cooking on an outdoor open flame
It is seriously the best! 🙌
Yuummm I can almost taste them 😋 Love how the girls all groaned over lost potato 😁Safe Travels guy's ❤🤍💙
Major party foul! 😂 Thank you for joining us tonight!
We live 36 miles from RMNP and is our giant back yard . You have captured it beautifully ! Kudos to a wonderful family and watch faithfully .
Congrats on getting your solar system all finished. We have a smaller trailer, and just the two of us, but still, it’s a game changer!
After 4 1/2 years without it, we are loving every minute! Definitely a game changer! Thanks so much for joining us!
Great content as always! Since you asked: 1) Off grid always on solar/battery setup, I was also super excited when we got a full off-grid system and I overanalyzed and monitored the draw and consumption...In the end it's negligible, don't stress about it. 2) Fire logistics, as a Boy Scout from the late-80's, the only acceptable and approved process is the teepee strategy (ha ha). Why am I hungry all the sudden?
I'm a Californian...open fires panic me! LOL! So we are neither teepee or log cabin! LOL! We haven't lived in a "green" world for the past 20 years so open fires are not a "thing" for us. As for the kabob...start with veg and end with veg...we usually do exactly what you do...some meat only, some mixed, some veg only. One of our favorite meals! Loved the hike. My dad always said that there is so much magic that happens while most of the world is asleep and it's gone by the time they wake. It's always worth it to get up for the magic!
Your dad was a very wise man! We haven’t had the kabobs since but it is definitely time!😃 Thanks for joining us!
Awesome Video. I learned Kabobs from my dad. He would use steak and sausage to alternate between the vegetables. We'd used onions, bell peppers, and pineapple. The meat was seasoned, then we would baste as it is cooking with french salad dressing. I may have to make some this weekend, it looks so good
We hiked this in the winter! Epic
Your video’s never get old. Great job
So much adventure on your journeys thank you for sharing 💙
It is hard not to find adventure in a place like Rocky Mountain! We still have so much to share next week! 😃
You are so blessed to have such a great relationship with your daughters. Don’t ever take it for granted. Those lakes were epic, and the surrounding area is so beautiful. It amazes me how beautiful our country is, and how blessed we are to live here. Hopefully one day people will wake up, stop bickering and realize how fortunate we are.
Was that buck you filmed at the beginning of the video really that close to you? Thanks again for a great video, and for your never ending reminder of how much you care for your truck! It does always look nice though! I love a man who’s food is a favorite thing to cook and eat!
I just love 💕 the ferns. They are beautiful.
When Corey was up in the rocks, I totally wondered if he had shoes on or flip-flops and 10 seconds later I had an answer. Kinda freaky that you can read our minds. As always incredible photography and another amazing meal. Thanks for taking us along.
That's awesome! Really glad you enjoyed this one! Thanks for being here with us tonight!
Dad..enjoy that hand hold. They don't do that very often at that age. 🤣
You take the best videos out of all the you tube ones I’ve seen. Great job, I look forward every week to seeing you guys.😊
Wow what a great adventure. Binge watching can't wait to get my shirt next time your store is open.
Your videos are really the best. I wait impatiently every Sunday to enjoy the beautiful photography . Thank you for sharing your journey.
That’s a very nice compliment, thank you 🙌have a great night !
I use the teepee fire build, it's never failed so far. When I make kabobs I like to sear the meat with salt and pepper first then build the kabobs and I do use potato on the skewers with bell pepper and onion and for my skewers I like to throw on some jalapeno also.
Tough call.... which was better? The scenery, the wildlife, or the ka-bobs?
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being here with us tonight!
Again, you guys rock as a family and adventures. The videos and photography are first rate.
As an old campfire cook…slightly pre-cook the potatoes…as you now have the technology, nuke them for a couple of minutes in the microwave first. However putting them in foil pouches with butter, oil, and seasoning really works. Love watching you all and your adventures.
Thanks…
Another great show. Thank you for what you do.
Thanks for taking the time to say that! You’re welcome, have a great night!
That second spot is my favorite one in Moraine Park! So glad you enjoyed your trip. I live about an hour away from there and camp the maximum number of nights per year, and try to get there for the day at least once every other month.
That’s awesome! So many people don’t take advantage of their back yard 🙌
Such a beatiful family
Very kind, thank you 😊
I'm Team Log Cabin for getting a fire started (log cabin built around an internal tepee of kindling), but once the bottom logs start to burn down, I switch over to tepee. Log cabin style allows for greater airflow in the early stages of a campfire, also traps heat better once established, and provides a larger bed of coals, or such is my theory, hahaha. I like to think I know a bit about fire, given I was arrested for arson when I was 5 years old for accidentally setting a power pole on fire while playing with matches stolen from my parents, knocked out power for the entire cul-de-sac. It was a fake arrest, something my parents arranged once the fire department and police showed up, but they cuffed me and put my in the back seat of the police car while I cried my eyes out and begged my dad to tell them I was sorry, I'd never do it again. He just shook his head and told me "There's nothing I can do, you broke the law and people who break the law go to jail." The cops just drove me a couple of blocks away then pulled over and gave me "the talk" and made me promise to never play with matches ever again, which I of course did, then they turned around and took me back home. In truth, it didn't stop me from playing with matches or lighting things on fire, just made me much more careful to not get caught. Then soon after I turned 8, our family went camping for the first time ever and my Dad (who had always looked askance at me after another small but mysterious neighborhood fire occurred) wisely put me in charge of our campfire and very suddenly the unexplained neighborhood fires abruptly stopped. We continued camping 2x a year, spring and fall, until my mid-teens, and I was always in charge of the campfire. My fires tended to be larger than strictly necessary, a trend that continues to this day. Once I left home and started to make my way in the world, my skill with campfires and especially bonfires became known among my peers and I found myself invited to a lot of outdoor activities I might not have otherwise been invited to. Who says crime doesn't pay???
Your videos are AMAZING!! RMNP is a true national treasure.
Kabobs looked Amazing! Scenery during hike was AMAZING!
As far as fire goes, I start with TP and convert to Log Cabin. Love the content! You guys are awesome and inspiring!
Great video. Love changing of the leaves. Very great job on this video. Love ya guys.
Thank you 😊 The aspens do not disappoint this year, not sure what I prefer yet … fall in the east or the west. There lots more color back east, but that’s what we grew up with…
I always look forward to y’all’s videos, always awesome....I’m living vicariously thru y’all’s, y’all living my dream.....
So glad you are here with us and joining us on our journey! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
Awesome!!!!!
Great content, awesome family..
Really glad you enjoyed it! Such an amazing day in Rocky Mountain!
The fern’s at a 120 frames per second was awesome. Only a tech geek says that. Loved the moment of you holding Lil’s hand. Cherish those moments!! I would come to your place for dinner any night of the week.
I actually changed over time to meat kabobs, veggie kabob etc. that way it all gets cooked perfectly. What started our transition was grilling steak and shrimp. 10 minutes for steak vs 2 for shrimp. I would water down (or beer) some A1 steak sauce to brush on
Beautiful area. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Can’t wait till next year when we are going to try to make it out there. You guys rock !!
Can’t wait for you to see it for yourselves! RMNP is unreal!
You are now my favorite channel. Your videos are stories and very entertaining. I love your channel. You rock!
Wow! So nice to hear that! Thank you for joining us and taking the time to comment!
Amazing ride thru Colorado!! Was in the tee-pee camp but recently converted to log cabin. You need to add mushrooms and cherry tomatoes, marinate in Italian dressing for for a couple hours then add the seasoning(salt, pepper and garlic) before the fire
Nice! Thanks for the sharing your method! We are not mushroom people we we know so many who love them! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Regarding parasitic draw and leaving stuff on with the new inverter setup; set your low battery cutoff voltage a little high so you get an alarm early then it cuts off if you don't notice. I use 12.8 for my LBCO. That way you save the last bit of battery for your critical DC loads.
Beautiful, just unbelievably stunning!
