Yosemite National Park, in the Sierra Nevada mountain ranges in California, is one of our most well known National Parks. In this episode, we explore the huge cliffs, waterfalls, and trees that John Muir called his church and home. We'll hike to Vernal Falls, check out a bit of the John Muir Trail, and backpack to Upper Yosemite Falls and North Dome, and see beautiful views of Half Dome.

  • I'm 75 years old and live in Fresno County for 60 years. I have camped Across America in 31 States from coast to coast and Canada in my lifetime. Yosemite and the Sequoias are in my backyard and nothing I have seen including the Grand Canyon is as impressive as Yosemite. I go every chance I can but it's difficult for me now to go where you went. Thank you for making this video for those of us who love God's creation but physically cannot go there anymore. God bless all of you!
  • Has anyone else also been binge-watching Adventure Archives during quarantine? No? Just me?
  • When I came through the tunnel and saw the view, I broke down and cried. I waited 45 years. My favorite place on earth .
  • @MishyIsHere
    I love the friends companionship between this group. They are all so respectful, honest,and kind.

    "You can pay a couple hundreds bucks to stay at a 5-star resort, but you can't put a price-tag on a 5,000 star resort."
  • @dmarkj22
    There are so many things I like about your episodes. First, you guys have genuine camaraderie and it comes out on camera which is something you can’t script. Second, your music is calm and soothing which goes well with your videos. A lot of outdoor videos have horrible, loud techno music blasting away which really doesn’t go with hiking videos. Third, your narration really adds so much to your overall story. Keep the videos coming guys I’m a big fan!!!
  • The great thing about being older is I not only could easily watch it 5 more times and totally ,enjoy it, there is a good chance I wouldn’t remember. Though how could anyone forget that beauty!
  • @jameswebb9738
    I lived and worked in the park for 6 years and my little stone house on the meadow in Yosemite valley had an unobstructed view of Half Dome when I opened my front door. The place is magical and it was easily the best 6 years of my life.
  • @johnleonard3806
    1:04 Evening Philosophy. Yosemite is a spiritual place, especially when you are in the back country. When I was a young man we would pack horses to Minnow Lake once a year to cleanse our mind and body. We brought a shower bag and no weed. THE BEST times ever. I am hoping to bring my kids this year or next. Haven't been back in 30 years. Love your video guys.
  • @teresap.5991
    I'm 65 now and I can't go climbing mountains anymore not that I could ever climb those like you guys did but just being able to see it from your perspective made it so enjoyable. It was so beautiful too and refreshed my soul just watching it so thank you all very much. We did come out west in the year 2000 from Pennsylvania and spent two weeks mostly driving but we saw 12 national parks and Yosemite was one of them. But we only had one day there so you know we didn't get to see nearly everything we wanted to. We knew we may never get out there again so we wanted to see as much as we possibly could.
  • @andrefael
    The video quality and editing is top notch, not many camping vids are like this... Awesome awesome work, keep it going ! :D
  • @indirac.4010
    OMG, Well the 4 of you guys didn't change a bit from 2015 to 2024 :). This is a very sweet and charming episode where all of you had your cute baby faces. Your personality have remained the same, the strong bond and friendship is unwavering through the coming years to present, 2024! This is a really special episode for me, seeing all of you so young and together enjoying life, and with such unique morality that didn't change throughout the over 50 episodes releases (in 2023)
  • @RobbyHuang
    Ahhhh, feels so good to have it out in the wild. Enjoy, everyone!
  • I just took a philosophy exam, killing time before my environmental science class. I have a strenuous school schedule and only have a couple weeks a year to make trips for hiking and exploring, and this video is making me really want to drop out. I LOVED this video. Something about these films gives me a fantastic feeling. You guys are doing work in your videos that is unmatched by any other channel on this site.
  • @audieo575
    I was there in 1989 with friends…wow it resurrected a great memory! Awesome video gents. Great majestic scenery, wild animals (fat squirrel), and plants. I was jealous watching you guys lighting up fire in cold morning and evening under the breathtaking open sky.…what a life! My goal is to hike it again before I die. Please make more wilderness video. In nature, one finds harmony, and healing in this stressful life.
  • @kdavis4910
    I love that wild edibles are included in your videos. It's a primal way to connect with nature and our ancestors. It's a reminder, I think, of how life should be lived.
  • @Nerding4Nature
    I've officially decided that next time I'm about to start binge watching on Netflix, I should binge watch your videos instead.
  • @ghostmedic86
    Your conversations are an 11 on the nerdy scale. That's basically how 90% of my conversations are.
  • @medaily57
    I am huge fan of Ansel Adams, and have 5 prints of his work from Yosemite in my front room. I could feel his spirit while watching your video. Saving this to watch again later! Breathtaking!
  • @gaurichess
    I honestly think this is one of the best videos I've watched on youtube. And I'm watching this the second time. I feel so calm!
