- Welcome to Redwood National & State Parks! This national park is located along the coast in northern California and is home to the tallest trees ON EARTH! And we spent two incredible days walking among the giant trees, seeing wildlife, getting coastal views, and exploring a magical canyon.

Thanks for coming to visit. You should spent more time next time. Looks like you had the place all to yourselves most of the time. Isn't that nice?
There are another type of Redwood forest too in Taiwan and Cypress Forest in China Tibet.

I love this National Park! Proposed to my now-wife on the beach after hiking from Prairie Creek, and before going into Fern Canyon! We'll never forget it!
The loop trail from inland Prairie Creek to coast is a classic. I LOVED that hike and overall experience. Oh, and Nature-based proposals are the best!
Congrats! Redwoods was so amazing and fun!
Yes that’s great spot for a proposal!
Congrats. That's how you do it. 🍻
The video is a great reminder to the beauty of the Redwoods.
For those who haven’t yet had the chance to visit, the actual experience is 1,000 times more incredible than anything you can imagine.
A visit touches your soul for life.
True that!
Fern Canyon and Gold Bluffs is one of our most memorable camping trips before kids. We are finally returning back, this time, with our three small children. I can’t wait to see their little faces as they take in all of the beauty!
How exciting! We hope you have a great trip!
I had forgotten how green and beautiful Northern California is. Thank you for this video, brings back memories.
❤️❤️
Thanks for continuing to showcase those wonder trails with your superb videography and narratives. Standing in an ancient forrest surrounded by giant trees thousands of years old is a mystical feeling
We had a great time in the Redwoods! Thank you and thanks for watching! ❤️💙
Yes, it is!
It is a great video when also you include great people like yourselves in such a beautiful environment. Cheers from Oregon.
This reminded me how much I LOVED this national park! We had so much fun when we went there last spring. Fern canyon is just gorgeous! Basically like a fairy tale. Beautiful!!
It really is like a fairy tale! Thanks for watching!
Those trees were massive! Love the contrast of the coast as you’ve traveled north. It’s beautiful!
Yes we loved seeing such a variety of landscapes and features on our journey!
I love so much that you guys are here doing another amazing vlog! Redwoods is my happy place. The Miner's Ridge and James Irvine Loop trail is one of the best trails I've ever hiked. It's absolutely unforgettable with grove after grove of monstrous redwoods. The permit requirement must be new because I didn't need one when I was there last June. Next time I'm there I want to try the Yurok Loop trail. Looks spectacular!
We’ll look into those trails for next time! I’m not sure when the instituted the permit system. Thanks for watching!
The redwoods are just so awesome!!!! Love the cribs addition of Redwood lol!!! It looks like your in a fairy tale! Green is my favorite color so Fern Canyon looks breathtaking! What a beautiful part of the country and of California!
The Redwoods are awesome! The cribs edition was fun! 😂 Fern Canyon is an amazing olace
I loved trillium falls trail. That was a really nice grove. And the falls and the trilliums were a treat because trilliums are also endangered besides being beautiful. The stout grove is great. And so is the drive to get there. Dirt road but very well maintained. Gotta love the coastal redwoods. I took a docent led hike through the lady bird johnson trail. Highly recommend
I love this!!! 😍 You two do such a great job at capturing the beauty of every place you go. 🥰
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
Another fun video. When I rarely get to see a large tree(in California) I always love to hug them. Their height is incredible. Fern canyon lived up to it's name, just beautiful. Thanks for the tag along 🥰🐕🇺🇸
Big trees are awesome! ❤️💙
The trees!! ❤ But also that beaches. So pretty. And, as always, wonderful to see Kona so happy. Good job rolling with the weather. We always enjoy your positivity. ❤ ⭐️
Thanks, Norma!
A nice surprise to get a Thursday morning video featuring beautiful Redwoods NP and the associated SP's. I've only been there once but I absolutely loved it. Anyone who hasn't been there should put it on their "to do" list if visiting the west coast. It looks like Kona enjoyed it as well.
Yes it’s a must do! And yes Kona loved it too!
If you haven't before, next time in California be sure to see Calaveras Big Trees State Park on Hwy 4 full of big Sequoias. Totally worth the visit. The Redwoods are truly awe inspiring. Visited a roadside area there where they were playing the music set to the poem "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer and that blew my 13 year old socks off. I'm 80 now and I still remember that like it was yesterday. Really enjoy all your videos, safe travels, have fun.
Wow that’s an amazing memory! We’ll check out Calaveras on our next visit! Thank you for watching, Gracie!
Good to see the puppers having fun at the beach! Fern Canyon was also impressive
She loves the beach! Fern Canyon was amazing!
Yay! Another National Park! Thank you A+K 😊
Fern Canyon was beautiful! Glad you stayed safe from the dinosaurs! Thank you for the tour!
Thanks for watching!
Incredible adventure!! Love the Redwoods, Ferns hikes and wow that beach! Great dancing at the end too! Fabulous video guys! ~Cara
Ps. Kona was loving the beach!! 😊
Kona looooved the beach! She’s a beach dog now 😄 we loved the Redwoods. Thanks for watching!
Definitely hope to visit there someday. Great video.
That's right...give those beautiful trees a hug!!!
Thank You for sharing.
This video was sooooo gorgeous and fun to watch! Those trees are HUUUUUUGE! The elk looked like statues and were so cool. I loved seeing Kona enjoying herself…love my grand pup! Your Mediterranean chicken dinner looked so yummy…great presentation too! Keep those dance moves coming!
We loved seeing the elk and huge trees! Kona had a super fun time! The dinner was yummy! 😋
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good Adam’s food looks 👀. When are you starting the van life cooking channel? 😅
Thanks! I love cooking and like sharing it! So maybe one day!
Would watch 100%
You both are very good looking! 🤗
I like the way you talk but then quietly shoot and let the beauty speak to us. Thank you for sharing your fabulous trip together. Stay well.
That Fern Canyon is to die for 😍 Thank you for always sharing your adventures and giving us a taste of what to expect at these parks!
Fern Canyon was amazing! Thanks for watching!
I planned a trip to fern canyon with my family but didn’t know about the permits! Luckily I saw your video and was able to secure the last an available permits to get our family in. Thank you for providing good information about the areas you visit.
Love !!!! I can only imagine (for now), how special it is to be amongst the massive Redwoods.
It really is a special place that gives you a special feeling!
This is all just too beautiful for words! I loved seeing Kona be a beach doggie too!
She looooves the beach! Thank you!
WOW! We couldn't have found you at a better time. We are planning an adventure from Oregon to the Redwoods and this video was AMAZING!!!!!!! It had all the information we needed, so thank you for that. I love the amount of editing you put into this and enjoyed the bloopers at the end, because that is me all the time when I record and I now feel almost normal. 😀
Our number one goal is to provide value so that makes us feel really great to know we helped! Thank you for saying that about the editing and bloopers! We have a lot of fun with the bloopers! Thanks for being here and watching!
The Redwoods are to me the most amazing natural
thanks for the ride along...awesome!
Such a wonderful look at that area. I was really impressed at the size of the ferns... HUGE!! I'm used to small ones. Thanks for all the scenery. Until next time... Travel safe.
We were blown away by all the trees and ferns as well! Thanks!
What a beautiful place!
Thank you; really enjoyable to see such great scenery. You two made it fun! 😎👍🏼
Wow oh Wow!!! The trees!!!! Ok so this vlog was as awesome as I thought it was going to be! I've always wanted to visit the Redwoods and this just wets the appetite. THIS was totally awesome!!! Thanks for sharing and allowing me to live vicariously through you. 😉 Also hi Susan!
Hi Brad! Thanks for supporting my favorite adventurers!
We’re glad you’re along for the ride, Brad!
@@suzanneaydelotte801 Of course, they are my favorite adventurers as well!
It must smell awesome!
One of our absolute favorite places to go in the summer.
We don’t blame ya!
I made my way through there last April and did most of the trails yall did and a few others. Coming from south texas I must say the redwoods and that whole area is just magical. It's like you are transferred to a storybook. Every 5 mins you see something that just wows you. Can't wait to see oregon in the next video my favorite state
Yes we totally agree! OR video coming soon! Thanks for watching!
Trillium Falls was my introduction to the Redwoods NP area. Was amazing! So many great trails in that area. Too many to name.
Another great video! One if my favorite of 2022.
Thank you!
Wonderful adventures! Thanks for continuing to bring us along!
❤️💙
Thank you so much for sharing this.Im doing these parks in August
Great job, as usual 👏 👍 👌 😀
For me that area is the best series of Parks I have ever been in my life, will comeback one day
They are spectacular!
Very informative video! Looove it! This will be our next national park to visit! Cant wait!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Another great episode. Thanks
Thank you and thanks for watching!
That is such a cool, mystical area of California. I love it! We drone along the Smith River from Jedediah Smith Redwoods up into Oregon and it was just so wild and beautiful. Your visit looked amazing. I love that moodiness of the coast. I live in Florida where it's sunny all the time but I love the special vibes of a cool, misty overcast day.
Yes that would be an epic spot to drone! That river is 😍 and yes we looove the PNW/misty vibes. It’s our favorite place
This video has changed my mind about visiting CA. These parks are unique and the trees just majestic! I have to see these giants before I die. Thanks for another wonderful video. Safe travels!
California is filled with amazing sites. We’re glad we could make you rethink! Thanks for watching!
New subscriber here - just wanted to say i love your videos and they have inspired me to get out to nature more :)
That is what we like to hear! Thanks for being here and for watching!
So i just started my travel bucket list after just watching a few of your videos, meanwhile ive been watching vanlife videos for years now. keep up the amazing content and thank. you for all the information you have provided your viewers!!
We’re glad we can share our adventures! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Your videos are all so interesting and beautiful. Two months ago, when I first discovered your channel, I ended up binge-watching all day and half the night. The list of things I was supposed to do that day did not get done. And it was worth every minute!
Hahaha we’re sorry, but not sorry to derail your plans! 😂 thanks for watching!
Love your videos! I will be following in your footsteps from Kings Canyon/Sequoia on up to Crater Lake NP, tent camping in all the national parks along the way in September. Your videos are giving me great ideas for hiking and things to see along the way. Thanks for all the work you put in to bring us these great videos!
We unfortunately won’t be of much help with Kings Canyon/Sequoia yet, but we have a guide on our website for Crater Lake if you need ideas there! Thanks for watching, Barbara and we hope you have a great trip!
I know these vids take an amazing amount of work. Thank you! Your work is MUCH appreciated. God Bless!!
Thanks, Michael! That means a lot!
We're loving our trip to Alaska with you. Redwoods are fab. Loved Adam's skylight. 😀
We’re glad you’re here for the ride!
We sure enjoy your vlogs! Redwoods are our absolute favorite park….enjoy your trip!
The Redwoods are awe inspiring! Thank you and thanks for watching!
Loved this stop. Feeling so minuscule amongst the giants. thanks for taking us along !
Thanks for watching!
Camped at Gold bluffs many times awesome 👍
Ty for such a great video. Hope y'all enjoyed every sec 😉... And the elk r beautiful 😍
We did! And yes they are!
Wow thanks for taking me along 🙂
Thanks for coming along!
During my visit to Fern Canyon I saw the HUGEST elk with a triple set of antlers. He was just standing there in his majesty. I couldn’t believe his size! He was standing behind a fallen log just inside the entrance to Fern Canyon. A vision I will always remember!
Wow what a magical moment that would be!
@@AdventuresofAplusK - It absolutely was!
Things are getting better and better 🤩 thank you guy's so much
Thanks, Cesar!
Thanks for yet another wonderful video. Between your video and the one from Finding Our Someday, I am now thoroughly convinced Redwoods in general and Fern Canyon in particular are must see destinations when I do manage to make a trip out that way. Safe travels!
Oh yes they are for sure must dos! Thanks for watching, Sean!
Just love the videos from this road trip. It amazes me you both are working full time too. Can not wait for OR next. 👍😄😄😄
This plus our website is our full time gig now 😄 thanks for watching!

I love the beautiful footage in this video !! I love the Redwoods. ❤❤
Thank you! ❤️
I loved Fernando canyon. you're right, it is magical. The Oregon coast is one of my favorite places. love the videos
Fern Canyon was so special to witness! Thank you ☺️❤️💙
We love the energy of those amazing trees. Thanks again for a wonderful video. Looking forward to Oregon and Washington.
We’re excited too! It’ll be a more brief experience through OR and WA because we’ve been there many times and we’ve got to keep rolling, but we’re excited for what we’re going to get to do! Thanks, Bob!
Good video guys!
I’m loving the addition of some singing to these videos! Thanks for sharing your magical adventures! I’m looking forward to OR too!
Singing always adds a little fun! 🤣 OR coming soon! 😃
One of my favorite places! I call it Heaven on Earth ❤️ I love that you guys got to camp on the beach in Golds Bluff! A really interesting trail is Lady Bird Johnson trail, you walk through the old growth and then walk into an area of secondary growth where the logging took place. Of course Fern Canyon Loop is one of the best hikes to experience, hands down. Nice to see Kona playing on Golds Bluff Beach as well. Great video!
We’d love to check out that trail next time! Kona had a blast!
Super photography.. You captured the trees the beach and the ferns... Well done. Thanks for the memories.
Thank you! 🙌😄
You are living the best life! I really enjoy watching this wet trip of yours, so wet!!!
It's been a ton of fun and we're thankful for what we get to do! Thanks for watching!
A great video! Going out of season certainly made the park more of a wilderness experience! We were there last June with a lot of other folks. Thanks again for taking us on your adventures!!!
Yes it was very nice with less people 😄 thanks for watching!
I live in this area. It is truly special here. People from elsewhere have mentioned feeling it, especially if it's their 1st time. I have come back from hiking Fern Canyon to find a very large herd of Elk all over the place! They weren't there when I parked! So close it was thrilling!
Yum!!!
We love visiting the area! Such a neat park!
Omg that food looks soooooo goood
A fan favorite for sure, I’ve taken many people here. No one complains
Heck ya!
Hello again Adventurers😊😊, WOW...WOW...OMG...those trees are soooo BIG and so HIGH! Absolutely AMAZING! I also liked seeing the Roosevelt Elk...the last time I seen elk was in Yellowstone National Park. Adventurers, THIS was an AWESOME video👍👍👍👍👍👍!
The trees and elk we magnificent!
I love these videos!! I love you guys!! You are THE BEST!!! ❤️🚐❤️
Thanks, Janet! ❤️💙
So beautiful!! Went to Redwood National Park when I was a kid but didn’t get to experience it like you did. Will have to go back!! Love that fern trail..a must do! 🌿🪵
It is a must do! We hope you can get back!
The fern canyon was magical!
It was very magical!
Love love love Fern Canyon! We were there about 10 years ago. I will go back if possible (I live on the other side of the country), that whole area is beautiful. Thanks, brings back memories.
It sure it beautiful! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Thank you,thank you,thank you! My wife and I and our two Shelties are spending our 38th wedding anniversary week in Monterey. We took your tip on Garrapata State Park south beach. We all loved the views from the bluff and the beach was fantastic. I spent many summer vacations at Jed Smith State Park. Love all your videos, safe travels. Watch out for them bushes.
Congrats on your anniversary! That is an amazing accomplishment! Thank you and thanks for watching!
One of my favorites of your vlogs to date! It's a dream of mine to see the redwoods in person someday. What an amazing park! 💚
We hope you can make it out there it’s a bucket list place! Thanks for watching!
Your window repair has held up so well against the bad weather, including hail! Great job!
Yes it has! Not much longer til we’re back to normal!
This channel is very underrated! Your videos are amazing! Thank you for this informative vid. More subscribers are coming 👍
Wahoo! Thank you for saying that! We are so glad we could help or inspire in any way!
Love your videos! We used them to help plan our honeymoon last summer and went from Arizona to Utah and Colorado. This year we're thinking of heading back to my hometown (Monroe Washington) to see my BFF and drive the OR and CA coast. My husband cannot wait to see it all, especially the redwoods!
Oh that's awesome! We're glad we could help and we hope y'all have a great trip!
Loved your videos and travel life guys. I can't wait to be there in Redwood National Park
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. We were there last August for my birthday trip. We saw lots of elk. We camped at Elk Country Rv park and they came right into the meadow at the rv park.
How cool! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Just discovered this channel about a month ago and it’s been my favorite channel since. I am on active military orders and I miss home sometimes but your videos make me feel back at home.
Thank you so much, Zack! We’re glad we could bring a little piece of home to you. Thank you for watching and more importantly for your service!
Dream of seeing it someday.
such a soothing vid! I love Northern Cali so much...I need to explore more up there with the kiddos. That campground you stayed at looked so nice! Was it very busy b/c it looked like you had it to yourselves. So excited to see the Oregon content as I feel that is a state I'm going to get to very soon.
Northern Cali is filled with amazing spots! The campground was gorgeous and it was mostly full, but the sites are really spread out well (at least on the outside loop).
We’re excited to share our OR vlogs soon!
So excited for this one! My friend and I did a road trip to see these parks a few years ago. I'm pretty sure we did the Prairie Creek Trail too. The Redwoods are still one of my favorite national parks. Until you visit them, it's so hard to grasp how big those trees are. We're nothing but a blip on the map compared to them.
The Redwoods are very humbling and awe inspiring! Thanks for watching!
