Rocky Mountain National Park! I ran a half marathon in the Rockies in June 2019, just days after a freak snowstorm closed half the national park. It was my first time hiking in the snow, in entirely new conditions, and the experience changed my life. Absolutely magical. I decided right then and there that I needed to move here, and so I did, just last month.

I LOVE this channel! What a nice Sunday surprise to watch this. Those trees were amazing and you got some amazing footage. You have such a great presence I really wish the KZitem algorithm would do more for your channel. It's criminal you don't have 100's of thousands of subscribers (if not millions) when you put out such quality content that is not only entertaining to watch but also educational. Your channel has been so helpful for me personally. Last year when I was in Georgia you shared some many great places to hike in your videos I went out and did some of them and it made my time there much more enjoyable. Thank you for being a positive force on a platform full of so much garbage.

How are you Alice. This is a magnificent forest and manicured trail systems. I agree with your «common sense» comments when describing hikers behavior while out there. Some don`t get it and the pandemic attracted more of those to nature. I do not know much about California`s NP although I have spend some time in Joshua Tree NP a few years ago while in Palm Desert for a few days. Awesome scenery. Sequoia NP represents an identical flora and fauna that we found here in British Columbia's West Coast. Those red cedars are gigantic. Keep on hikin'!

Welcome back. I appreciate your candor regarding the actions of others in nature. There's a pull-off along the road going up Mt. Evans where I always stop to listen to the stream since I have a memory of stopping there as a child. The bark of the aspen trees at that spot are simply destroyed from people carving their names or initials. Sad. I don't understand why people stack rocks either. Little formations here and there for no justifiable reason. Takes away from the natural beauty. Unfortunate. Hope you had a good trip.
