48 HOURS IN YOSEMITE VALLEY (what to do in the spring time)
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 04. 2021
- Yosemite has been on the top of both of our USA bucket lists to revisit again, and the time has finally come! We packed in free firewood, delicious food, and a whole lot of energy, as we explored all there is to Yosemite Valley in the short span of 48 hours. This park was all in all a majestic piece of land, and a picturesque home to some of the most magnificent waterfalls and rock faces.

Wow Claire sure knows how to make fancy meals in the woods!
It's pretty easy😂.
You guys are the cutest van couple ever! Cheers to you both, making life memories. What a joy!
Such beauty!!!! Chad, all the way back up! You are a good man!!! Can’t wait to see where you are next!!!! Safe travels!
Beautiful waterfall & Yosemite Valley. Despite on a move you have cooked healthy creative meals. Thank you for sharing
By far the most wholesome Chad out there. 🤙
Oh my gosh that means SO much to me. I try very hard to not be a “Chad.” 😂
😂😂😂
You two are delightful. Thanks for the help in planning our trip to Yosemite this weekend!
Love seeing the healthy + fresh meals you make, fun! But definitely there is much more to keep doing in the Valley, even in March or in Winter. Loop trail, explore the Ahwahnee, Mirror Lake, ranger walk, Native village, picnic by the Merced River, etc...
You guys are so kind to one another. I loved this video!
You have to be if you live in such a tiny space together😂
Another epic adventure!! Chad's great camera drone artistry and the always adorable Claire 💕 in one of my favorite places on Earth - Yosemite 🎉🌞🌄🏆
Chad n Claire-thank you both for showing this amazing video
We are going there this year and looking forward to this visit
Finally catching up on your videos!! So glad to see the water bottle is holding up and serving it’s purpose 😊 still am so thoroughly impressed with your van meals, they always look sooooo delicious 🤤
Love this video we are going in the summer, I can't wait.
Wow.. That was a nice hike up the waterfalls, beautiful scenic views of Yosemite.
Great job on editing this Vlog Chad and Claire. Looking forward for your next travels.🚐
Thank you Erinn! We can’t believe our life right now. Thanks as always for supporting us!
Ok, I just watched this again on my laptop because I watched it on my phone the first time. OMG!!! Claire, I totally understand your fear! My stomach flipped SEVERAL times during this vlog!!! Y'all have got to stop doing that to me!!!! I can appreciate why you both were so anxious to go back there! It's magnificent!!!! Absolutely amazing videography!
It truly is an incredible place! Glad you watched it on a bigger screen! Crazy heights on this trail!
Awesome vlog! Chad a real one for going back for the bottle.
I’m so glad I found your channel! It makes me so happy to see your videos pop up!!!
Yay! We are so glad you found our channel as well. Thanks for sharing your time with us! 😁
❤Вие сте пример,определение,
как изглежда и,каво значи щастие
Бъдете здрави🙏
You guys are breath of fresh air, especially with current events. You reminded me of when I hiked Swiss Alps. We put our fresh fruit in stream of falls to make a cool snack on hot day. It was great
Wow fresh fruit washed under cool Swiss water sounds I n c r e d I b l e. Thanks for watching as always! 😁
First time here. You guys are awesome. Love watching your stories. Keep up the good work.
I love the youthful spirit of you two! My wife and I hope to visit next year.
Wow, this is my first video I've watched of yours, and I'm obsessed! You two are so cute and I love seeing more POC being out in nature and being on CZcams. :) The camping/backpacking CZcamsrs are oversaturated with non-BIPOC folks. So watching you guys is refreshing! Keep making content. :)
We agree! It’s been hard for us to find other interracial couples, or honestly, other people of color that are living on the road and doing what we do! Thank you so much for your kind words and support! 😁😁😁
Thanks for sharing very beautiful park my next place to visit
OMG. You eat better then kings and queens! This is the second time I have been a happy voyeur of your magical treks on this amazing planet!! Sweet film!!
Love your center piece ❣️ Wow the waterfall view from the top! Every single view was amazing!
That centerpiece was a memorable one. Thanks for watching! Our time in Yosemite was truly incredible.
Such a beautiful few days 🤍 as always, great video! Excited to see more of your adventures xoxo
Thanks Christa! We appreciate your comments and advice! 😁
My first time watching you both and I enjoyed your video so much. You two are so cute. Love the way you treat each other. Love the meals you prepared they looked yummy, oh and the centerpiece was amazing! Can't wait to see the next video. Thanks for sharing!!!
This is an absolutely beautiful video. Thank you ☺️ I’ll be coming back to Yosemite in the near future. I just need to find the perfect buddy for the trip. 😅
wow! it's a beautiful sneery scenery ,, lovin it
Those Pizzas look so good! Glad you had a great time in Yosemite! So many good memories! You should definitely come back and try out the other hikes during the summer months! Cheers!
I love this video. Lovely faces and fantastic views.
So freaking fun! I’m going there with my van FOR SURE!
Your videos are so great. Makes me want to travel out to the west coast. Keep it up!
Wow. So good!! Im always going to make centerpieces at future campsite tables. Ive never seen that before Claire ~ very inspirational. 🌿❤🌲🍃 You really should do a cook book ...your meals are beautiful. I have a friend who complains about meals living in a 38ft rv. I told him he has NO Excuse for not cooking and to watch Chad and Claire because you only have 2 pots and a Coleman 2 burner stove and your meals are amazing.
Thanks Karen! Sometimes cooking is tough even if you have lots of room. Either way it’s still work. Our tiny van has just enough room to work with. Thanks for the support as always!! 😁
y'all are so cute! iove this! also love the centerpiece idea..cuz why not?! haha
I can travel with you by watching the videos~thank you from Korea
This is the first time I’m seeing your guys videos and wow I love the content and how you guys are doing it all! I’ve planned a 48 hour Yosemite with my girlfriend in may so this helps so much to what to see because I’ve been to the park but my girlfriend hasn’t! Excited to see more content ((:
So glad we were able to help out! Have a great trip and don’t forget your water bottle anywhere! 😅
Going this April! Loved seeing ur camp cooking!
Thank you so much for the video~ Love Yosemite :)
By far my favourite vlog , Camera Chad and Creative Claire what a combo, that first meal had every natural colour of the surroundings, looked amazing, the views of the park are priceless . Between great Camera skills and Creative art you guys nailed it 👍.
Special mention: Chad I love how you slip Claire's sled crash in every now and then 🤣, love it. ( sorry Claire xx )
I have to slip in the fall whenever possible😂 it is too good to be forgotten.
Thanks for watching as always! 👍
Great videos you two!
Editing, music choices, flow, truly entertaining and informative.
Such a cute and gentle couple.
If you come to Washington, I would highly recommend Ruby Beach.
Thanks for the recommendation! We will add it to our growing list! 😁😁
Glad your video popped up on my feed. Hubby and I will be going to Yosemite on a 36 hr camping trip with our van. This was helpful! Also, the lime trick is helpful too, thinking about doing that makes me want to make a sour face. Lol!
Thanks for watching!! So glad it showed up on your list!
You are both too darn cute. You will look back on these memories the rest of your days. Good for you.
So glad you visited my backyard! Love Yosemite!
Wow! Such an incredible backyard you have! We LOVED Yosemite.
I really like to see you keep our Tibetan Prayer flag....Thank you bring for those precious Mantra on those prayer flag so always keep on top so you guys success your life any duties...
What a great time of year to visit Yosemite! I went a couple of years ago in November and the waterfalls were wimpy in comparison. I’m very proud of you both with those hikes. I remember how challenging the hiking was there for me with the altitude. You didn’t even sound out of breath!! :) Thanks for sharing another great adventure. Your adventurous spirit, and love for each other is just heartwarming. Oh, and I just made some purchases in your store.
Thanks for your support through the store!! We will be shipping out your order in the next few days when we are back at a post office!! 😁
The waterfalls truly were beautiful during this time of year. We both had never seen them so full! Thanks for your kind words as always😁😁
@@ChadandClaire Yay! I just got shipment notification that it's on its way!
So cool, love the video!!!
I found you guys a few days ago & I'm in love with your videos!! You're both so bright and lovely, like rays of sunshine
Awh! So glad we can bring some joy to your day! We feel so honored to have you watch our videos! Welcome aboard!
@@ChadandClaire My bf and I are actually planning a road trip up to San Francisco next week, & I'm thinking of visiting this park on our first day! Would you guys recommend staying the night there at a lodge/hotel, or make it a day trip & spend the time in san fran?
hope its not too long of a question >
I would say you could make it a road trip! So do a day trip!
I am obsessed with this channel 😭❤
Love from Bhutan!
ive never been 💔 so nice to see that you guys got to enjoy the park!
I’m sure you will go one day!! We are so thankful we were able to go. Thanks for watching.
Great video! Impressive that you hiked all the way back to the top of Bernal falls to get its. What if someone else had taken it? Glad you got it back!
Love this video, you two! 💛
Yes beautiful place. We were just there last weekend. Enjoyed your video. Much much better than mine :)
So beautiful place thank you for sharing
The most lovely couple!
Great musics as always!
Thanks for risking your lives for the best footage, it is appreciated. 🥺😂
Anytime!! 😂😅
What a great video!! Thanks for sharing your trip!! And I love, looove your van and your centerpiece was such a nice touch!!
Question. We are traveling from Carson City, Nevada to Yosemite. We should arrive in Yosemite about noonish. If we only have the afternoon and early evening to be in the park with a couple in their late 40s (decent shape) and two teenage sons, what do you recommend that we see/do?
I love how the visuals and the songs are perfectly working together with your energy :) soooo stunning and thank you for filming that what are the names of the songs?
Thanks you Jeffrey! Sadly I don’t have my computer on me to be able to look up the photos. (Currently out of the van) I hopefully will be making a playlist of all of our music someday soon.
I got good impression to see the design of the couch is very systematic.
that waterfall was bustingggg :0
Woah! That was awesome! Great vid
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!
I hike quite a bit and my fear is also falling. Not afraid of heights, water, etc, just afraid of slipping and falling to my death lol. Just stumbled onto this video and found it super relatable.
Pretty cool we love your video
I'm not sure if you check comments on older videos, but I just wanted to say, Claire, you are such an amazing cook! Have you considered putting together a cookbook of all the incredible food you make? While binge watching your videos, I have seen so much delicious 😋🍽️ food I'd like to make, but I can't remember which video showed which foods 🤭... just an idea 💡📔🥙🥘🍳🥗🍲🍛🍰🥧 Thanks!
way to go Chad and Claire, epic shot @ 12:18
what a beautiful couple🤩
I commend you guys for choosing the Ford transit connect. I’m solo in mine- it’d be tough with two!
We think solo van life is tough! It definitely is tight but by now we have both gotten used to it. Thanks for watching!
this has to be one of my favourite vlogs yet! didn’t stop smiling the entire time! oh and great job claire for facing your fear of falling aha!!
Thanks for sharing your vacation in Yosemite. It was great! You’re a good chef, very well balanced food.
Q? What campground did you stay at? Nice to see love birds enjoy the waterfalls & valley. My brother & I R going next month. But it will B crowded (bummer), but your video has inspired me & am excited to go.
Happy Trails!
- twin dragon 🤓🏞🏓🎶👍
Hey Michael! Glad you enjoyed the video. We stayed at upper pines campground!
So glad I found your channel! Can’t wait to watch it blossom into one of the most popular travel channels🥲 (manifesting it now✨)
We are glad you found it too! Thanks for watching Journie! 😁 We are excited for whatever the future brings!
wow guys u are so amazing!
Great video 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You two are so adorable 🥰
Awh shucks🥰
Chad went back up to get the water bottle?! That was impressive. I would’ve gotten the same one from Amazon 😂
Lucky it's still there
I was so nervous the whole hike up that it wasn’t going to be there😅😅 and when money is tight you save everything you’ve got 😂😂
A sentimental gift inadvertently left behind is worth a hike trying to retrieve it! Glad it was still there
going back hiking to get a water bottle ummm?? ,,wow! ,,lol,, if it was me yeah am with you order from Amazon ,,,,lol
Beatiful!!!
Welcome back Moses :)
I learned a new word, ‘centerpiece’. :)
I love your content!!
I am going to Yosemite and I was so worried about not having a shower but Claire just cleared that up for me. Also what month was this? You said winter but you had shorts on. Was it cold?
I am so torn weather to go in May with the crowds or September. You two are young and living life. Its a beautiful thing!
Super cute!
Hi cousin I am watching this while I am in school
Heading up to the Pacific northwest? Crater Lake? Or up the coast? If you come up the Willamette Valley on I5, be sure to take a detour to Silver Falls -- it's completely worth it!
We have silver falls on our list! Great guess btw! Excited to share where we ended up!
cool video!! where is Claires black jumper from?
Oh my gosh, I CAN'T BELIEVE I just witnessed another person who makes centrepieces for their camp tables!!! Claire we are kindred souls haha
Wow, I like what I'm seeing here, This is so beautiful and I'm really impressed. I mean, This place is really nice, I love spring because This is the best time of the year and The weather is great at this time of the year, but I hate summer. Wow, This is a paradise on earth, There are big mountains, The mountains are high, There are so many forests, The forests are green, There are big meadows, There are big waterfalls, There's a great river and The river flows. Yo! I hope you had an amazing time in this place and I hope you're having a great day. I saw your video and I enjoyed your video because I feel as if I were in this place. I've never been there before, but I'd like to go there someday. Greetings from Lima, Peru. 🇵🇪🦙🇵🇪🦙🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🗽🏞️🌲🌍👏👏👏🙂👍
Y’all cute as heck. Praying for continuation of safety 💛
Thank you Matt! We really appreciate it.
Claire I’m afraid of falling to so your not alone.
At Yellowstone I witnessed a Raven hop into the bed of a truck and open a cooler. He came out with an orange that he dropped on the ground then proceeded to hack into it and have a feast.
10 seconds in and im already subscribed
Which camp site did you stay at? Or which would you recommend for a small group of 2-3 people?
Hi all, enjoying your channel. Just out of curiosity, are there electric plug-in stations around different towns you can use free of charge to re-charge the batteries you use to power your converter?
Thanks!
We know that there are outlets around some towns but it has been VERY hard to find for us. So if you plan ahead maybe you could find some!
Hi! I'm heading over to Yosemite next week, what's the name of the trails you guys did? REALLY loving that view at the 9:30 mark!
Hey! The name of the hike is “The Mist” and the first waterfall is Vernal Falls and the second waterfall was Nevada Falls! Hope that helps! Enjoy your trip!!
What is the campsite called that you guys are staying at? I’ve been trying to research places to stay in Yosemite but can’t really find anything
Im in love🥰
Can you guys do a cooking video or share camp food recipes. Your cooking looks soooo delicious
One day we will. We really just want to devote our time and efforts to our traveling at the moment.
What part of March did you visit? My family and I are going to be there in March, and I'm curious how the weather was.
You guys are so adorable. I was hoping you would share how you got your reservation for Yosemite. I looked on their web page and it looks like they open reservations on the 15th of every month. Everyone has to try and book on that one day. Seems crazy! Thanks for your videos.
We actually used the “Recreation.gov” app in order to reserve a spot. They were completely booked up, but we kept on checking every day for cancellations until we found an availability.
@@ChadandClaire thank you for your insight. I love your videos!
Is September pretty crowded on both weekend or weekday?
What camera do you use? Beautiful video!!!
Heights? I stomach flipped when I saw you two at the top of your hike with your legs dangling over the edge... and then the footage of that fellow climbing with nothing but himself to hold on... Oh, my. I guess I have an aversion to heights myself! Loved this vlog!
Our hearts definitely raced sitting on the edge, but the view was absolutely incredible. Thanks for watching!! 😁
