It’s going down! 

In this episode of Exploring the National Parks, John and Ash, a former park ranger, are fighting it out in the ultimate trail rumble! Join us as we rank our favorite national park hiking trails. 

Buckle up because there will be some fighting.  We both made our own lists, and we are ready to see who comes out victorious!

In this episode, we cover: 

  • An incredible immersive hike 
  • A great hike to take during the sunset
  • Trails to see in Sequoia Kings
  • Trails full of adventure and amazing sights
  • A must-see trail in Yosemite 
  • Trails we love at Acadia 
  • A couple of epic trails in Mount Rainier National Park
  • Our favorite mountain trails

    • It was so hard to rank the trails because there are truly so many amazing ones to see! But we hope you enjoy this fun ranking episode and that it will inspire you to get out on a trail somewhere.
