I stumbled across this pod when preparing for a family trip to Acadia. I thoroughly enjoyed their chatter and creative games so much that I have since listened to several episodes even though I do not have plans for additional park travel at this time. Thanks guys! Keep informing and entertaining 🥰

When going on my national park adventures, I always consult this podcast for things to do, eat, stay, and just general history! It’s always fun and informative.

So good!

They are clearly from homophobes. This show is fun and about real hiking. Always a good show. Keep up the great work!

My kids and I are preparing for a trip this summer where we will be stopping at many national parks. We’ve all been enjoying listening to this podcast and getting so much helpful information in such a fun format!! I’ll be sad to be caught up once I’ve officially binged all the episodes.

These guys are real hikers, pounding down lots miles on short and long trails in national parks. They know their stuff. In recapping their experiences for us, they pepper their trail talk with unvarnished commentary: if a trail is super steep or has difficult features to navigate (like fording creeks), you’ll get the accurate info rather than a paint job. Best of all, their discussions are full of warmth, creativity, and hilarity (love it when they both start laughing out of control). They have the rare talent of educating listeners while letting us into their lives and imparting humor (love the invented trail queens). When an episode is over, I feel like I’ve learned something, had my spirits lifted with laughter, and been with friends. Truly an outstanding podcast.

This podcast feels like you’re sitting down with two besties having a cup of coffee while listening to them share silly anecdotes, play word games, and walk you through each trail they hiked on their latest trip. As a fellow NJ native/hiking enthusiast/millennial, Mike and Dusty are my favorite. If you want direct info about the national parks devoid of any personal narratives, this isn’t the podcast for you.

I stumbled upon this podcast after searching “Zion” on a flight to the national park. Their banter and story telling is so lovely and simple and pleasant. They go on just enough side tangents and describe such a nice day you wish you could go with them. got me excited for Zion!

Sit back and relax as Dustin and Michael take you on an adventure. Each episode relives their experiences at an national park. Their insite on trails, wildlife, history, culture, even parking is invaluable to anyone wanting to venture to the park. They also provide useful information regarding restaurants, bars and local Airbnb’s. I love their banter. Their friendship shines through as they discuss back and forth the experiences they share together. The games they play both in the middle, and the end of the podcast are so much fun. A little detail that means a lot is their recognition of the Indian grounds of the places they hiked. This is one of the best podcast for anyone who has a passion for national parks, or just wants to listen to something entertaining.

These two friends are simply heartwarming and delightful. I stumbled upon this show when searching for podcasts on Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. I listen and laugh while walking my dogs. I just know passerby's are wondering why that girl is laughing so heard and guessing answers to their riotous word games OUT-LOUD! Great job guys, keep up the good work😊.
