Wow, WOW!!!... that was spectacular. The footage was incredible. You two really put time and effort into this video. Thank You for a wonderful overview of what this country has to offer. What an effort!
We don't own a RV but have ridden our motorcycle to 7 of your top 10 parks. We are taking a trip in August to Canada to visit Banff and Jasper NP. On our return trip we will be in Glacier NP for three days. Then Yellowstone for four days, then onto Devils Tower and Four Corners Monument. Thanks for sharing. Love your channel
I have a weakness for Yosemite. I grew up in California, and that is just a gorgeous park. But avoid the summer, too crowded. Spring and fall are lovely and have nicer weather.
Fantastic video!! Love all the scenery and commentary. You guys are the best!! Really put the Western Parks bug in me. I'm on the east coast now but the West is calling. Thanks so much!!
You make me feel so lucky to live only 30 minutes away from glacier national park! I visit glacier park with my family at least 10 times a year. Northwestern Montana is truly the most beautiful place to live in the entire country. I feel blessed to live here and hope everyone gets to visit glacier national park in their lifetimes.
Visiting national parks as long as you like and leave all the worries behind is still a luxury to me and my wife but this will happen in the next few years when both of us retire. Thanks for sharing!
Yea Yellowstone is a beautiful place but be aware of your surroundings and weather. Went to the grand canyon started to rain went from 70° to 46° in minutes with hail. Wish we had more time .The mountains are beautiful and lakes are sparkling and clear.
Great video. Been to all except Saguaro which we are visiting next month. The west certainly is blessed with these 10 parks and many more. My favorite is Grand Tetons National Park. Those mountains just thrill me every time I see them. 🏔😃
My wife and I just watched your video and we loved it. We plan for next year, a 3 weeks road trip in the west, and several parks that you show are on our list. Thx for your hard work and your love of nature. From France. jeff & chris
Hi Mike and Jennifer. Beautiful video and love the Western Parks. My husband and I and our boys have been to several of those you have shown multiple times. I agree with other comments on the Tetons also being a must see. We think it is heaven on earth! But your list isn't too shabby! Mike - we miss you here in Detroit! Enjoy your travels and be safe!
I am truly awe inspired and humbled to behold the power, wonderment, and pageantry of God's glorious creations. I thank you both for taking the time to share such magnificent beauty to the world. May God continue bless you both. Be safe and of course enjoy.
The picture @ 5:09 into this video is actually Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Canada. I was there last year and it is one of my all time favorite places. Horseshoe Bend in Page, AZ is at 6:25 into the video. Diablo Lake, North Cascades N.P is at 17:15. We are blessed to have so many great places to see. Love your video... thanks for sharing!
Ive been to 6 of these NPs and I have to say Banff (and Jasper) have been BY FAR my favorite. The scenery there is just unmatched and there is an abundance of wildlife. Glacier NP is next on my list!
Great video. Just FYI, you guys have picture of Moraine Lake (Banff National Park) in your Rocky Mountain NP section. Didn't see anyone mention that in the comments
Great video...!! Can't agree more on Yellowstone, its my favorite place on the planet! One of the most beautiful and underrated national parks is the Badlands National Park in South Dakota. It is a must see, the sunsets here last for hours and hours...
How beautiful your country is!😲 Although I feel lucky to live in southern Germany. It makes short trips to the Alps, France, Italy, England, Hungary, Spain,.... possible. We don’t have, maybe except Scotland & Iceland, these huge& epic landscapes the U.S. has.
Most photos of the Rocky mountain park was stolen from Banff in Canada and a photo of Glacier Park was also in Canada. Basically every true mountain scene was in Canada. Lol
Most impressive video, and all your choices are excellent! I would hope that your future videos will include parks like Olympic, Crater Lake. Channel Islands, Sequoia/Kings Canyon. Redwood, Big Bend,, Great Basin and Guadalupe Mountains among others), cause all of them are worthy! I won't mention all the Alaska parks, because they are an order of magnitude in effort, just in the travel!!!
Their description of the parks made this video spectacular. Love their great vocabularies. Vloggers nowadays should watch and learn from them. A new fan here 🙋🏻♀️
Vocabulary may be great--but they mix up the difference between National Parks and National Forests. Yellowstone was designated NP in 1876 before TR. TR's administration set aside the National Forest System. And Mesa Verde is a National Park, not managed by the National Forest System
It will be on a separate video we're doing about California only. California has so many awesome places that we will be doing a video just on its attractions!
Great list and great videos. Oh, also, Yellowstone is actually in 3 states. The South West section is in Idaho. The falls Creek River you enter from Idaho and no park Gates. You can get to Union falls from this location, it is one of the most highly voted falls in the park. I would also recommend spending much more time in the grand tetons. Take the Jenny lake trail up to hidden falls. Lots of moose in the Tetons. Thanks again for all the great videos.
This is by far my FAVORITE video! Hubby and I are binge watching. We’re in the market for a LTV Wonder rl....you two are our role models! Thank you so much for sharing your journey. We have questions and plan to join a Q&A soon.
Love from Canada! We are Canadian citizens and love our country, but have lived in the US for many years in the 80s and 90s. We have visited many parks in Canada, especially in Quebec, but we think that US parks are most diversified in the world. We would love to visit at least Smokey Mountains NP, Yosemite, Yellowstone, and may be couple of less visited national parks. However, we may be in trouble visiting parks in the southwest due to warm climate.
Southwest parks can be great if you go in the months with milder weather. April, May, September, or October, for instance, depending on the specific regions.
The Tetons just south of Yellowstone is also a wonderful park to visit. I was fortunate enough to see both these parks plus the Grand Canyon last summer. We did the Grand Canyon, Hole In The Wall (Mojave Desert), Sequoia, Yosemite and Arches this year. Can't wait to go back.
Really nice video - you are both so good at speaking and I loved the visuals. I really like the list and the inclusion of some not well known parks like Theodore Roosevelt and Saguaro, although I'm most definitely not a desert person. But no parks in CA? Is that because they are too crowded or??? Thanks for this amazing video!
We’ve visited them all and can attest you are right! All are beautiful, must see (and experience) Parks. Grab a Golden Age Passport and start collecting memories. BTW, in my view, there’s only one way to experience the National Parks.... in an RV. Waking in the campground at Two Medicine Lake and watching the sun paint the mountains is magical. Also, warm up your arm, Two Medicine Lake has the drop dead best skipping stones on the planet! 😉
Spot on with your list! TR’s name should be chiseled in the rocks of every one! Thanks Teddy! And Jennifer and Mike! The windshield of the Sprinter is the best big screen there is!
For me, Yellowstone National Park is just magnificent. It’s so unique in terms of wildlife, plant life, and sightseeing. Mammoth Hot Springs was probably one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in my life, and the multiple rivers that flow through it are just astounding. And is course, Old Faithful is a must see, and it’s also amazing how high up it shoots up the steaming gas and liquids. There are also a bunch of tiny things along the way that are amazing in there own way like Hot barrel spring (I might have gotten the name wrong, sorry if I did), and the lower geyser basin near Grand Prismatic Spring, another amazing must see. If you’re planning a trip in the west, Yellowstone is an absolute must see for its pure uniqueness and sheer natural beauty!
Good list of places. Bryce is and has been my favorite for decades. As for Yellowstone, I have been there many times. Always amazed that folks think the wildlife is the attraction. One can see bears, bison, and other animals just about anywhere in the mountain west. Where else does one see the thermal features? Maybe two or three other places in the world. The thermal features are what makes Yellowstone unique.
This is so strange this came up in my feed today I was looking at pictures of Yellowstone National Park earlier. I have been there many times. I took my dad there in 1998 and spent three days he really enjoyed it today would have been his birthday July 15th but he passed away July 12th 1999. So between the pictures that I found while looking through a box of things and your video gave me a really good feeling and I'm glad that's you're number one spot. We travel a lot as a family when when I was younger and I have been to 38 States so far and hope to make it to all 50. You did a fantastic job on your video I really enjoyed it makes me want to pack a bag and go right now look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you and have safe and happy traveling.
Absolutely beautiful video!! Thank you so much. I've seen a few of those places living in Utah but I haven't been to Canada's parks on the west side. I've been to Niagara Falls on the eastern side. I've been subscribed to thither channel and just realized the bell want on. I fixed that.
One thing I will say about Grand Canyon is do heed the warnings not to try hiking down to the river and back up to one of the rims in one day. Many people aren’t prepared for the harsh desert environment down there and the extreme temperatures, especially in the summer. Rangers frequently have to send helicopters to rescue hikers who have run out of water, simply can’t go on or even to retrieve bodies.
Hello Mike and Jennifer, my boyfriend and I love nature and national parks as well , we are trying to visit all the National Parks in the United States, so far we have visited some of them, Grand Canyon, YELLOWSTONE, and ZION, all of them are very beautiful, but the ZION in Utah stole my heart, Yosemite Park will be our next Adventure....
Great video. What about California? Redwoods (haven’t been yet), Yosemite ( a definite top 10), Kings Canyon & Sequoia ( was kicked off the mountain by an Alaska Cold Front and snow!). planning a trip just to visit these parks.
I love Yellowstone too! I backpacked heart lake, Lamar valley and bechler area! Very beautiful! You mentioned Yellowstone is in two states it’s actually three. The bechler area is a little bit in Idaho.
This made me smile, We're visiting a few of these beautiful places soon. All the way from New Zealand.
Wow, WOW!!!... that was spectacular. The footage was incredible. You two really put time and effort into this video. Thank You for a wonderful overview of what this country has to offer. What an effort!
Have been to most of these. Health prevents my return, bit your video brings back so many wonderful memories! Thank you. Be safe on your travels.

Thanks for the heads up, I grew up in CA, but never made it there.
LisaMarli yes, agreed, odd to leave it out.
Ikr. I live 30 mins. from Zion N.P. and 65 miles from Bryce and man the crowds get worse by the year.
Second that!!! Your list does not disappoint !! Thank you for sharing and being great ambassadors of the RV lifestyle...
Fantastic video!! Love all the scenery and commentary. You guys are the best!! Really put the Western Parks bug in me. I'm on the east coast now but the West is calling. Thanks so much!!

Northwestern Montana is truly the most beautiful place to live in the entire country. I feel blessed to live here and hope everyone gets to visit glacier national park in their lifetimes.
I live 30 miles from Zion and its just breathtaking. Everyone should experience the Narrows.
Visiting national parks as long as you like and leave all the worries behind is still a luxury to me and my wife but this will happen in the next few years when both of us retire. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds like a great future plan Paul. - Team Wendland
I agree this is your most interesting and spectacular video. I can't wait for the 10 favorite Parks of the East. Thanks.
Yea Yellowstone is a beautiful place but be aware of your surroundings and weather. Went to the grand canyon started to rain went from 70° to 46° in minutes with hail. Wish we had more time .The mountains are beautiful and lakes are sparkling and clear.
Great video!! I live close to Glacier National Park and you are right no other park can beat the spectacular landscapes at Glacier National Park
Great video. Been to all except Saguaro which we are visiting next month. The west certainly is blessed with these 10 parks and many more. My favorite is Grand Tetons National Park. Those mountains just thrill me every time I see them. 🏔😃

Definitely a lot of gorgeous national parks out west! Agreed, it is very hard to rank them.
5:08 is actually moraine lake in Banff national park in Alberta Canada
Great video. Just FYI, you guys have picture of Moraine Lake (Banff National Park) in your Rocky Mountain NP section. Didn't see anyone mention that in the comments
They also have Glacier NP in the clip just before that one
Great video...!! Can't agree more on Yellowstone, its my favorite place on the planet! One of the most beautiful and underrated national parks is the Badlands National Park in South Dakota. It is a must see, the sunsets here last for hours and hours...

It makes short trips to the Alps, France, Italy, England, Hungary, Spain,.... possible.
We don’t have, maybe except Scotland & Iceland, these huge& epic landscapes the U.S. has.
Most photos of the Rocky mountain park was stolen from Banff in Canada and a photo of Glacier Park was also in Canada. Basically every true mountain scene was in Canada. Lol
The Alps definitely have some pretty epic landscapes!
Great video and great narration. What a wonder life to go RVing. Thank you for sharing!
Go to Grand Teton National Park, also another breath taking beautiful park.
Mike and Jennifer you guys do a great job, bless you both.
Thank you for sharing your Top 10 list. As an FYI, the :10 sunrise timelapse starting at 4:35 is of Grand Canyon. It was probably shot at Lipan Point.
All of these parks are in my bucket list .Very informative .Thank you for sharing
Lyn AP. Yes. My daughter and I visited all 5. So worth the time.
Thanks for sharing. We all are blessed to live in a beautiful country! Cajun
This is your best video yet. Thank you for sharing your amazing pictures.
Beautiful and informative video. Thank you Mike and Jennifer!
Thank you! Love your script! So descriptive.

Thanks, those stunning vistas were just what I needed today. Good list.
Being from SoCal, Yosemite is #1 with us. Just about every one of our trips starts or concludes there.
It will be on a separate video we're doing about California only. California has so many awesome places that we will be doing a video just on its attractions!
Want to go. But I’ve read it’s so packed that it’s almost impossible to enjoy it.
Great list and great videos. Oh, also, Yellowstone is actually in 3 states. The South West section is in Idaho. The falls Creek River you enter from Idaho and no park Gates. You can get to Union falls from this location, it is one of the most highly voted falls in the park. I would also recommend spending much more time in the grand tetons.

Great video. I'm planning a month or so next summer to tour our beautiful National Parks.

Great video of top 10 national parks of the west. Thanks.

Yellowstone is overrated.
The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is also quite spectacular!
Just updated by bucket list
Thank you for sharing. Everyone should experience it once in a life time. Been to all 8. 😊😊😊

You should check out Mt Rainier and Olympic National Park in WA 👍
So I guess they didn't make it to Washington
Yosemite needs to be on this list
Guys... oh my goodness.... great video!! Subscribed!

17:14 is Diablo lake in the north cascades, not glacier national park.
Hello Mike and Jennifer, my boyfriend and I love nature and national parks as well , we are trying to visit all the National Parks in the United States, so far we have visited some of them, Grand Canyon, YELLOWSTONE, and ZION, all of them are very beautiful, but the ZION in Utah stole my heart, Yosemite Park will be our next Adventure....
Maria Esparza have an amazing time in Yosemite! I used to be a ranger there 😁
Thank you. Beautiful!
Beautiful video! Added a ton more national parks to my list to visit but I surprised Yosemite didn’t make it
you just can't beat Yellowstone. and thanks for the info about dog friendly trails!
Some day i will visit those parks. Its my dream. Regards from Poland
Very nice....... do you do all the video and still capture? As a nature and landscape photographer myself this is great imaging.
really enjoyed their commentary and videos
Thank you for your wonderful video & explanation.
Fantastic photography! Thanks for sharing. We will be heading West in the Sprin.
Utterly Beautiful....Next time I hope you include my "fave." Yosemite.
So well done! Thank you,
Cynthia
Very good vanlife that I want to do soon after retiring my job.. enjoyed your videos in this channel. Stay connected..
Beautiful video! Thank you!
I agree on Glacier National Park and Yellowstone! My favorites.
Great and informative video, thank you!
Comment. Just love your channel and y’all are such a cute couple. Thanks so much for sharing.
I'm sorry did I miss Yosemite on here..how is that possible? You've got my top two in reverse order though. Thanks for sharing.
I have been to half of them, intend to add more next year.
Wow amazing parks👍😎❤️thanks for sharing and safe travels 🚌😊🌎🏔☀️🌲
Simply beautiful. I am saving this to my travel list. Thank you for sharing this video and your awesome discoveries!
Wonderful Wonderful...thanks!!
Thank you so much for this video so beautiful and inspiring ... love your enthusiasm!
Wow, Thank you for this video
Nicely done, thanks for sharing ~
Headed out west soon. This is an amazing video, thanks so much for sharing all of these tips and great spots!! Very well done!
Great video. What about California? Redwoods (haven’t been yet), Yosemite ( a definite top 10), Kings Canyon & Sequoia ( was kicked off the mountain by an Alaska Cold Front and snow!). planning a trip just to visit these parks.
Like we said in the video, ore is to come. California will be a separate video in itself!
Utah and California only states with 5 parks, all 5 in Utah are breath taking; Zion, Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef
Alaska has 7
Alaska has 8, California has 9 actually
You just set a future itinerary for me and my Roadtrek....
I love Yellowstone too! I backpacked heart lake, Lamar valley and bechler area! Very beautiful! You mentioned Yellowstone is in two states it’s actually three. The bechler area is a little bit in Idaho.
Relaxing and informative video!
Love the video, not much better than our national parks for breathtaking experiences.
Amazing video, beautiful.
