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.

Join us as we cover:

  • 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
