Across America’s Wild Places: National Park Travel Stories from Saguaro, Channel Islands & Pictured Rocks, Plus an Inside Peek at New Episodes (Ep 84)

Welcome back to the second half of Season 6 of Virginia Outdoor Adventures! I’ve got a packed episode for you today, coming off a stretch of incredible nationwide travel – from the towering saguaros of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert to the dramatic cliffs of California’s Channel Islands, frozen shorelines in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and even dinosaur tracks deep in the heart of Texas.

By popular demand, I’m sharing highlights from the trail and beyond, like a moonlit hike in Saguaro National Park, spotting rare wildlife in California, and exploring the frozen beauty of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

We’ll talk wildlife encounters, unexpected lessons, and the moments that remind you just how vast and wild these places really are. Plus, I’ve got a few upcoming events to share, what’s ahead this season to inspire your local travel, and how you can stay connected with the show.

So whether you’re planning your next adventure or just dreaming about one, this episode will take you there. Let’s Go!
