    60+ years of camping in Kings Canyon. Not many changes in all that time except we hardly see rangers anymore. They were a real plus and kept people from abusing the canyon. Camp happy and take care of our national parks. ❤️

    Well that’s another reason I dislike national parks and monuments. I remember being shocked there’s no real national parks in New York. One guy I read about said he views national parks as tourist traps for rich people to bring in money but not conserve the areas. In New York they have easements etc but land is still private. In Utah for instance they confined to shut down public land and environmentalists basically want all the public land tk be monuments and parks. Look at canyon lands in Utah. They just added a new monument next to it and trying to make another one on the other side of it. It’s sad. Recreation monuments or areas also are horrible! If you read the legislation it makes metal detecting illegal. There’s huge retired groups of people that love to metal detect for recreation. It’s pretty sad. My grandpa runs cows out by an area they want to make wilderness which makes no sense as there’s lots of roads and we need the roads to maintain water troughs in the desert to provide water over like thirty miles. Elk and antelope and wild horses also use the water. It’s crazy. Oh anyways my point was is leave public lands as public lands. Adding more monuments and parks leads to more tourism and that leads to more trash etc. Tourism is good for the government that collects tickets and charges to use some camp sites but I love the multi use simple stuff of public land that’s just public land. But for reals when I lived back east it’s sad. No real national parks.

    Like I honestly would have thought they would have made national parks in every state east of Colorado as the government had the power and money to make parks in every state to conserve land. Or at the very least they could make national monuments in every state cause then land would be public but still open to hunting. National parks are closed to hunting but not monuments.

    Beautiful! I miss the camping in Oregon so much. Its gorgeous just like Kings Canyon. I live in Tennessee now and its so humid I don't even want to go outside 🙃 It really sucks, because I was a camper my whole life... Thanks for the video Chanty! 💕

    Kings Canyon is my favorite place to camp. Was just there last wkend with my wife and oldest 2 daughters and we jumped off Muir Rock quite a few times into the Kings. So much fun and the water feels amazing. The hike to Mist Falls out of Roads End is also one of the most scenic and fun hikes I have done. Great place to explore! Thanks for the video.
