7 Days Hiking in California's Wildest National Parks | Yosemite, Sequoia & Kings Canyon

Is it possible to explain the grandeur of Yosemite? To picture the size of a giant sequoia? Or even the inmensity of Kings Canyon National Park? The Sierra Nevada mountains in California, are every hiking, backpacking, and nature photography lover's dream. Here, in the heart of the American Wild West, iconic mountains like El Capitan — climbed without ropes by Alex Honnold in the documentary Free Solo — and Half Dome crown the valley, while giant waterfalls bathe the landscape and bears, deer, and goats roam wild and free. From the Tunnel View lookout, where Half Dome, El Capitan, and Bridalveil Fall appear in a single frame, to the Mist Trail — one of California's most popular trails, climbing alongside Vernal Fall and Nevada Fall to connect with the legendary John Muir Trail — this video shows why Yosemite is considered one of the best national parks in the US and the world. We also complete the Four Mile Trail up to Glacier Point, at 2,200 meters of altitude, where we experienced one of the most incredible moments of the trip: a mother bear with her two cubs appeared before us, a reminder that in the American West, wild nature can surprise you at any moment. From Yosemite, the journey continues to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park, home to giant sequoias and some of the largest and oldest trees in the world, with over 2,000 years of history — among them the General Sherman and General Grant trees. We hike trails among giants, explore the tallest granite walls in the United States in Kings Canyon valley, and have another wild bear encounter at sunset. We also discover how these ancient trees have survived for centuries, and how fire is a natural part of their life cycle. A relaxing 4K nature documentary (background music, no talking), filmed during a spring RV road trip through California, with wild nature, landscapes, and cinematography as the true stars. ≫FULL ITINERARY: 00:00 Yosemite National Park 01:22 Tunnel View - Yosemite Falls 02:22 El Capitan - Yosemite Valley 04:28 Mist Trail - Vernal Fall y Nevada Fall 08:56 Sunrise Tunnel View 12:30 Four Mile Trail - Glacier Point 13:34 Half Dome 15:30 Mama bear and her cubs in Yosemite 18:55 Kings Canyon National Park 19:40 Giant Sequoias - General Grant 23:15 Bear encounter at Kings Canyon River 26:38 Sequoia National Park 27:02 Giant Sequoias - General Sherman y Congress Trail 30:32 Outro - San Joaquin Valley - Los Angeles
