    First off please tell Haley that my wife was super impress by her ponytail. Second thanks for including lots of nice trip planning details like maps, the outfitters you used, distances times and PRICES! This helps others plan good trips.

      haha! Yeah, great way to put it! I would only splurge on one more ticket and it was more of a "group discussion," but Hailey did emerge as the winner. :)

    What did you use to film this a GoPro? Audio seems very good at parts you do talk. I would assume holding a camera and kayaking in Lake Superior at same time is generally a risky prospect.

    • @AmericasParks
      @AmericasParks  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, used a combination of the GoPro and compact "point-and-shoot." And so true, challenging to work the camera in the boat with the movement of the water. Take care!

    Hello America's Park's😊!! And...WOW!! That was just awesome.

    Great trip! I find that most outfitters are super professional in Michigan; they know about customer service. We did a similar kayak adventure at Mackinac Island where our family of 5 had individual boats. My wife ended up getting sea sick at the furthest point out, so the guide lashed a rope to the front of her kayak and towed her all the back! Gave our college aged guide an extra big tip. Randy, all my best to you and your family. Keep the adventures coming!

    Man, I have seen a lot of pictures of this area but like Natural Bridges, you really have to see them from below. Those arches are massive! That whole area sure does look amazing! Great edit my friend! Nice to be able to look forward to new " Americas parks" adventures again. Still doing your trek with Shane?

      @@AmericasParks Glad to hear that and have a nice safe trip out west. Really looking forward to seeing those clips! Especially the spots in Idaho since they will be new and are also high on my list as well. Shanes 1st solo with you will be something special. Ive really got my oldest Kyle into it and now he wants his own GoPro. Im going to help him edit his 1st ever clip later today and I will let you know how to view it, etc.

    Just went there three weeks ago. We considered doing this trip with this outfitter but ended up doing a shorter one with a different group, partly due to time and partly due to expense. We had a good time but your trip looked a lot better. :)

      @@AmericasParks Yep, it was a beautiful area. I looked in the video to see if you included your dates like you sometimes do but didn't see it. We arrived July 7 and left the morning of the 10th in a pouring thunderstorm, which made packing up the camp loads of fun, ha. Didn't really see a lot of people most of the time--along with the kayaking one morning, we did a few hikes, took the sunset cruise tour one evening, and spent time on several occasions at a beach up near the northeast end of the park, not too far from Grand Marais. The sign at the parking area said something like "Lake Superior Viewpoint" but didn't mention a beach, which maybe explains why there was hardly anyone else there at any point. That was probably our single favorite spot of the trip. We also had a young lady along who is really into birds and wildlife, so we drove through the Seney Wildlife Refuge out to the east of the park to find loons for her. :)
