Thanks for watching and Happy New Year! I hope you liked this video! Please subscribe for more, and while you're here check out my Top 10 National Parks video: kzhead.info/sun/ZrupaKuclnNplYk/bejne.html
Hi…. Great video share, thank you!! One suggestion…if possible COULD you slow down your speaking speed so us who have hearing loss can follow allow(yes, I’m using CC but it reads too fast to enjoy your great video). Thanks!!😊
*_Thanks for creating this video. I'd heard of some of these places, but never realized how accessible some of them were from where I live. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there!_*
We travel quite a bit, and I'm so proud of having done 8/10 of your suggested trips. We live in a such a beautiful country with incredibly diverse environments. No shortage of amazing places to visit.
So grateful to live in such a beautiful place, and that’s awesome that you’ve hit so many of these adventures!! Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
I've been to a few areas that you mentioned and have Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Custer state park on my road trip agenda this year! Can't wait.
Thanks for the suggestions! We have been on half of those you discussed! And plan to visit the others! Danny & Lynn
Great video and suggestions.. I have been blessed to travel quite a bit in the past and have been to some of your spots but it is nice seeing your trips and how active y'all are. Don't ever take it for granted because the majority of people don't travel much other than a boring old beach lol.. As much as you travel and have experienced I am amazed that you mentioned Ozone Falls in Tennessee, I grew up in Ozone and love our beautiful little icon. God bless you.
Very Well Done! Was surprised how many I have done and now have a short list to complete your list. Thank You!
Glad you liked it Steve, thanks for watching! Happy adventuring!
Wow! That is a LOT of road trips in a very short time. Well done! Living in Bend and previously in Denver we have done nearly all of the trips you outlined in the western US and you hit so many of the best spots. With great videography and drone work. It brought back a lot of memories and energized me to hit some more of these - but probably not all in 2024! LOL! thank you!
Glad to hear this video brought back memories! Thanks for watching Dan! Here’s to great adventures and trips in 2024
That was awesome! Great job. This gave me a few ideas on new travels and some I have done but you had other places on there to visit. Wonderful camera work!
Thanks Man! it's really mindblowing
Great video and recommendations! THANK YOU!
I've been to several of the places in your video . Thanks for including the extra trip . I have gone to Gatlinburg many times , love the Smokes . Shenandoah is a bucket list place , haven't been through it since I was a kid .
Very nice shots, it makes you want to go hiking and explore the beautiful area. Nice greetings from Germany😊
February, N AZ. Thanks, Kevin, there's years of trips here and so many ideas, even for the sedentary. Keep the videos coming, they're great.
I appreciate it so much, thank you. Happy new year!
I've only done three of these. So many great places left to see! Our road trip through Utah parks is one I'll never forget. The landscape through that state is so diverse.
Utah is such a beautiful beautiful place. Thanks for watching Brittany!
Planning to do 1 & 10 this summer, and very excited! It'll be my first time doing my own road trips, since I got into hiking/National Parks only starting in December (Yosemite). There's just so much nature in the States and so little time!
This is a fantastic collection. I would love to do all of these. Roadtripping is probably our favorite way to vacation. Thanks for giving us really inspiring options for visiting natural beauty in the US.
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch. There is absolutely nothing better than a good road trip. I appreciate you 🙏🏼
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing all of this information. So many places on this list I would love to visit one day.
I hope you get to! Thanks for watching😄
Brooooo ! You just became my favorite KZheadr !!!! This video is amazing. I’ve done couple of this hikes and trails but had no idea of the others. Thank you sir !
That makes me so happy, thank you so much 🔥🙏🏼
Superior video and photography. The best i have seen, just Stunning! ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻✌🏻
New subbie from Alberta, Canada. We’re retiring soon and will be exploring your beautiful country in the next few years, thanks for the video.
Great video, but it is way too fast, or maybe I am just getting old. You have all these beautiful shots, and you don't really have enough time to soak it up. I would have enjoyed it much better if all the clips were 3 times as long.
I was just thinking that, too. I had to go back and hit pause a couple times.
Just getting old 🤷♀️
Not just you. It was absolutely too fast. I had to pause every 3 seconds to take notes just because things got rattled off too quickly. Just goes to show you can’t always make a short summary of itineraries to “help” when those plans need a longer timeframe to go throw. I would’ve much rather watched 1 hr instead of 20 mins of pause, rewind, pause, rewind, pause.
Just got home to a great package containing a super kind note, a sweet camera bag and tote, some amazing aerial shots of the mountains and a sticker! You're a good man. Thought I'd thank you via comment rather than DM or email hoping to feed the algorithm. Yee Yee!
That’s so nice, thank you so much. I can’t express my sincere gratitude towards your support. Also happy to hear the giveaway package came early :) thank you and happy new year!
Kevin, this was a great video with something for everyone! I’ll never get to all of them but got some ideas for our bucket list. Thanks for sharing!😀👍
Thank you for watching! :)
Great videography. Thanks for the suggestions!
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video. I combined Utah’s Mighty 5 and Northern Arizona in an epic two week road trip in November and it was life-changing. Planning on checking out Northern Arizona again, Wyoming and Montana this year. The American West is awe-inspiring.
That’s so awesome! I bet it was such a great trip! I hope you have some great trips this year, thanks for watching!
@@KevinEassa thanks, likewise Kevin!
Wow! Great video with lots of inspiring ideas. Thanks for showing us cool places we've never seen.
Thanks so much for watching!
Those 10 roadtrips looks amazing
Great video! I’ve been to all the US National Parks in the lower 48, except for the newest one in West Virginia. It’s next!
That’s so awesome! More than me! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Fantastic video. My default thinking when it comes to vacations is this sort of grouping of roadtrip destinations (i.e., what all can I see in one regional area in 10 days). So these suggestions are on point. Well done and beautiful visuals, as always.
So much to see and got vacations it’s not always about the national parks. I’m really happy you liked the video Matt, thanks for watching!
What crazzyyyy amount of footage and information lol. Stellar video 🔥
Thanks boo bear, crazy how much the adventures have added up!
I’ve been fortunate to see most of these regions except for Yellowstone to Glacier, which we had to cancel due to the big flood a few years ago. Haven’t made it to southern Nevada or west Texas yet. One of my favorite experiences was hiking up the Narrows in Zion right up the middle of the river, mind blowing! Some beautiful fun road trips we’ve done that are not on this list are up around the Great Lakes. I think these areas are underrated too. Especially the north shore of Lake Superior between Duluth and Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Hello Kevin, thanks for putting this great video together. Looks like I have a lot of road trips to do in 2024!!! 👍 Kirk
Thank you for watching Kirk! I hope you have an adventure filled year!
Wow amazing beautiful places I didn’t know that existed!💜
these road trip sound great to do. Another add for southern California near Lone Pine is the Ancient Bristle Cone Pine Forest in the White Mountains.
I’ll have to check that one out! Thanks for watching Anthony!
Awesome post and of all the ones I've seen this is one of the best and can't get over how BIG and BEAUTIFUL America is anyway seriously thinking of coming mid July but only have around 18 day's any suggestions and how long was this road trip.
Great job on the video! I'd like to see you film Lava Beds, Shasta, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Kings Canyon, etc.
Ah they’re all on the list! I’ve been to Tahoe plenty of times, and Yosemite twice, but none of the others. And for Tahoe/ Yosemite, I don’t hardly have any footage. Hopefully this summer! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
We did Washington and Northern Arizona last year, proposed at Cadillac Mountain in Acadia the year before, and have done many of these trips. This is a great list, going to do the Mighty 5 in April!
Congrats for Cadillac, that’s awesome! I’m glad you like the list and video, thanks for watching. I hope you have a great time doing the Mighty 5!
As I live in Newport, Oregon, I find it interesting that you highlighted Thor's Well which is about 28 miles south of Newport. The Spouting Horn (which blows like a Yellowstone geyser) is adjacent to Thor's Well and tends to attract more people Nice video. Keep up the traveling.
I like your video production and the location visuals.
Thank you so much. I retired recently and this video will be my retirement travel guide.
I love to hear that Allan, thank you so much!
Blessed to have done half this list solo this year - New England for fall (the Kanc Highway and Acadia were the highlights) and Utah mighty 5 at the tail end of a snowy April week were the best trips. Burney Falls, Lassen Peak, couple days in Crater Lake and Smith Rock state park is another great road trip, aim for summer months if there’s no wildfire smoke in the area 🤞🏼
Mighty 5 in April is epic! Great time to Visit. Thank you for watching!
Does solo tripping get boring? I’ve only flew to Denver and going to Texas this week solo.
@@SAsh-zg6ln nope not at all. I transitioned to solo when friends couldn’t join or get the time off from work, I didn’t want that to stop my adventure. I plan out with a spreadsheet so I at least have a general flow, hikes to do, great places to eat etc. I keep family informed of where I’m at all times, my #1 solo female rule. Enjoy wide open Texas! I head there and NM next month for the four parks 🙌🏼
Wow. I don't think I'll live long enough to see all of that, lol. But I'll try. Great Video.
Thanks for great video as always. I am plan to visit US at 2024 April to take picture eclipse. Mostly plan to go weighted to Nevada, Arizona and Utah but this time I need to add texas for eclipse pathway. thanks to introduce west texas. Happy New Year!
That sounds like an incredible time! I hope you have a great trip, definitely some gems in Texas!
Glad you gave a shout out to Nevada.
Love Nevada! It’s definitely underrated
Great video. Im about to embark on a lomg roadtrip from colorado, west to cali snd then north to washington, and although I've been to every national park, your outside the National Parks spots are definitely going to add alot to my trip! Again, great job with the video and I'll definitely be subscribing. Cheers!
Thanks for sticking around! It means the world!
Really like the road trip routes , will try them all!
I love to hear that! Thank you Betty!
Fun ideas! I've saved it. Been to many places. But the photography is great.
Thanks for watching Cheryl!
I have done some part of all of these routes. You can't go wrong with any of them, but I LOVE the Black Hills!
A great smorgasbord of locations to inspire travel!
Thanks Mike!
Beautiful photography! In Washington state, it is the Hoh Rain Forest (pronounced hoe with long o sound). Loved this video!
great video, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
@@KevinEassa You're welcome, I can't wait to watch -- and share -- the rest
Great footage! I've only done Big Bend, Palo Duro Canyon (with a close encounter with a mountain lion in our camp!), Grand Canyon, Tetons, High Sierras in CA, & a few spots in Colorado. I really want to experience Utah & South Dakota. Problem is: I'm 70, female, & still "fit"; most of my friends can't hike any more & my husband is a farmer tied to the land here! UGH!
Nice summary
Wow, excellent videography, narration, and film editing! It’s obvious you care about your craft. Well done.
Thank you so much, this comment and your words mean the world. I really appreciate it 🙏🏼
Thank you for including Watson Lake The granite dells are amazing New subscriber here
Had so much fun at Watson Lake, glad to hear you love it to. Thanks for watching!
I especially like the bonus
Great video. Couldn't agree more with the list. I got extremely lucky this year and hit all of these (except NE).
That’s incredible! Thanks for watching Samuel!
@@KevinEassa Cheers! Wish I had found this channel for tips before the trip, haha.
Love my road trips as much as my Off Road trips!
They are the best way to travel!!
Nice summary. Subscribed.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!
This is perfect❤️
Thank you!!
I am Brazilian and if money were no object USA would be definitely my favorite destination, a lot of states to hiking, trails , national parks , waterfalls ,that's fantastic, I have to make it come true before I die
I have my fingers crossed that you make it here! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
@@KevinEassa keep doing this bro
AWSOME post,I'll be coming from Australia mid July but only have around 18 day's, A how long did this take and B any suggestions would be appreciated .
@@thomasportelli5995 this was filmed over 8 years of traveling! But 18 days is a serious chunk of time, you’ll be able to see a ton of awesome places!
Amazing video!!
Thank you!!
Great video but you left out Badlands national park and Badlands Loop Road in your South Dakota road-trip which is one of the most incredible places I have been!
Ah shoot you are right! Badlands would fit perfect on the SD itinerary. We didn’t have time to go but for anyone that sees this comment definitely add it! Thank you!
@@KevinEassa If you've got the time, Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota is also very underrated. Only about 3.5 hours north of the Black Hills.
@@nickskuza6036 just added to my list, thanks for sharing!
Your drone shots are spectacular! What drone are you using?
Fantastic Video!
Thank you very much!
Amazing! 🎉🎉
Thank you! Cheers!
When you get a chance please do a Pennsylvania video including the Pocono Mountains and the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon and the center of the state also Lancaster Amish country and beautiful historical New Hope Washington's Crossing area. Thank you ❤
My wife and I toured through Utah about 10 years ago. We were bicycling in Capital Reef NP, and cars kept stopping and asking if we were OK. Turns out it was 108 F; but we had a good time on the bikes.
That’s so incredible. People must have been confused because it was pre-Goggins era haha. What an adventure though!
I love roadtrips😊❤
They’re the best!
I just Subscribed ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻✌🏻
There is few to my checklist while i travel all America 😮
If you want to down into Mammoth Cave (Kentucky), you’re need reservations in advance. Also, if you want to hike the cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde NP, you need reservations. South Colorado is cool too.
Good tip for these two parks! I haven't been to Mesa Verde in years and have yet to go to Mammoth Cave, one of these days!
You live in Maryland, you got to do the Outer banks and Blueridge Parkway. Give some more love to the Eastern portion of the country.
you covered a lot in such short video, did go over everything so fast, no time to sink.
Wow, i need to go to WV, would love more detail on how to, where to stay and budget tips?
Right now I don’t have any travel guides on West Virginia on the channel. But in my experience there aren’t many big cities for hotels, so we just car camped, or searched Expedia’s hotel map for places near the spots we wanted to visit. We found a good cheap hotel near new river gorge, but I’m sorry I don’t remember the name. It’s a relatively cheap place to travel to though, I hope this helps!
They all look cool, 14:00 May try to do this one from AR, picking up your map in Nashville with my dad. Wonder if there is another cool trip in another direction to make it a loop?.... does this include Blueridge route or a little off-base from that one?
You should definitely do it if you can! Funny enough, I’ve never heard of Blueridge route, just had to google it. But based on what I see, my route is very similar to that, with maybe a detour or two but essentially that. I don’t know Arkansas that well, but if you head west and do the west Texas road trip I outlined, a great stop to break up that drive on the way is Caddo Lake State Park. It’s a really unique spot along the bayou where we camped and kayaked
@@KevinEassa That is funny, I'll check that video out. I've considered a few Texas area road trips too and may be able to do those a little sooner since it is currently winter.
Great video, wish i had discovered you earlier. Looking for advice. My goal is take my kids to all 50. This March planning to fly to Vegas for a Saturday-Saturday trip. Plan to drive to Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, somewhere in Northwest New Mexico, and Zion. How much time should we plan for Canyon and Zion 1 or 2 days? And suggestions for northwest New Mexico? Thanks. Will be taking your Wyoming, North Dakota, Idaho in 2 summers!
Thank you so much! The Grand Canyon can be visited in 1 day, but you’ll have to decide between West North or South (every time I’ve done south, but west looks awesome). Zion if you’re looking for a calm trip, 1 day is enough. But if you plan on hiking you need 2-3 days, I have a top 10 guide for Zion on the channel. For northwest NM you should check out Bisti Badlands, Shiprock, and if you have time- La Ventana Arch, Bandelier NM, and Cox Canyon Arch. I hope you have a great trip!
Coming from a Canadian..I've done them all. Except the ones on the east coast!
Very good list. I've done most of these, at one time or another, except the Pacific Northwest. If I ever make it up there my preference would be arid Eastern Washington/Oregon instead of the coast.
There are some great places to check out in the eastern side of those states! Thanks for watching Duke!
I don’t know about that foot bridge but everything else looks really cool lol
Fair enough haha. Thanks for watching!
Colorado, I'll be there soon, wait for me😀😀😀
VERY GOOD VIDEO
Thank you very much! I appreciate it!
Your welcome@@KevinEassa
I would like to travel to some of those places ❤
I hope you get to, thanks for watching!
Interesting video thanks, how long do each of the road trips take ?
Thank you! Totally up to you though. Everyone’s schedules are different and some people may only want to see some of the places I’ve outlined, where some people may want to see them all. Also people have different paces of travel. A good rule of thumb in my opinion would be 5-10 days each!
Great suggestions., All of these seems mostly on the west., do you recommend any on the East and Midwest areas?
Yes I tried to include multiple! The New England fall roadtrip, Appalachian roadtrip through the Virginia's, Maryland, and Tennessee, and the Texas roadtrip! Another great one is a New York waterfall roadtrip!
The Great Lakes offers some great road trips too like the north shore of Lake Superior from Duluth to Grand Marais. The entire Lake Michigan shoreline in Michigan from Saugatuck all the way to Mackinaw Island is wonderful. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is beautiful, quiet and has the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and while you are up there, visit the Apostle Islands in Wisconsin also on Lake Superior.
I'm a Texan, so of course I'm biased, but Far West Texas is INCREDIBLY underrated. I would also suggest the towns of Alpine, Marathon, and Marfa (if you're into minimalist art), as well as Big Bend Ranch State Park, Davis Mountains State Park, and Fort Davis National Historic Site for a bit of Civil War era frontier history.
Amazing recommendations to add, thank you! Couldn’t agree more about west Texas being underrated. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Very cool. Might as well not limit it to 10 trips, because you need Sequoia NP -> Yosemite -> (Mt. Shasta and Lassen Volcanic NP? or San Francisco?) -> Redwoods NP -> Crater Lake
So many good road trips in the states! I’ve done a few that you mentioned but not all of them, on my list!
I've done all of these more than once. It's actually cheap if you go in the spring or fall. People from New Jersey where I live just go down the shore and it's big $$$
Road trips are the best combination of low budget and freedom. Thanks for watching!
What month would you do the northern Arizona road trip? Want warm enough to swim but not die from heat haha
For sure haha, I would recommend April-May or October- early November. I hope this helps!
Hello from Puerto Rico
Hello! Thanks for being here
Wow🎉🎉🎉😍😍😍💕💕
Thank you! Happy New Year!
@@KevinEassa Happy New Year dear friend 🥳🎉💕
the arizona mountains are very similar to the eynalı and sehend mountains located in Tabriz, Iran.the rock shapes and colors of the Arizona mountains are the same as the rock shapes and colors of the EYNALI and sehend mountains.
so beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video! Thank you for all of the ideas. Just a kind suggestion, please talk slower! I was trying to write things down but kept having to rewind 😂
Me Gusta❤
Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm going to Pine Box, Michigan.
Have you been to Kindergarten Drop Out, Alabama?
I Love Fort Hood, Texas.
Nice! Michigan looks amazing, I haven’t been
I cant believe i used to live out in arizona then decided to come back to the east..my heart hurts everyday..i will get back out to az again!
There’s still some awesome things on the east coast! I hope you get to go back soon though, thanks for watching!
@KevinEassa lol yes freezing coldness!! Great channel!
If you want a great road trip without fires in the PNW come in early June
That’s good to know, thank you! Most trips where we’ve made it out that way have been late July or august
@KevinEassa oh yeah makes sense! The worst month is usually September. But junes in portland are basically a late spring. Portlands dry season is actually more like july-September
I did the mighty 5 in Oct. 2023
That’s awesome! It’s such a good road trip!
@KevinEassa best road trip of my life. I had a blast.
@@broinsocali so happy to hear that !
Usa, usa, usa, usa!!!
So much to see in this beautiful country!
