Rate ShowVery informative and entertaining!
I love listening to Matt and Karen! Their sense of adventure inspires me to be more adventurous! My husband and I also retired early (in our 50’s) and are spending our time traveling in a fifth wheel with a goal to visit every state and every national park. We are having a blast! Matt and Karen have helped us to find new places, new trails, and new adventures! Thanks for all the great info!

Love Matt & Karen!
I love this podcast and I’ve also read all of Matt & Karen’s books! I finished visiting all 59 National Parks in 2016, just like Matt & Karen did the same year! Matt & Karen are a lot like me and I love the sarcasm they have towards each other. I’m always laughing!
Keep releasing books and/or podcasts Matt & Karen. And maybe someday, we’ll meet on the trail! 💗

Fun and educational
I’m hiking all the National Parks too. So glad I found this podcast. Although I find it very entertaining, I typically look for episodes about a half hour long. I’ll keep listening when I can fit them in. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

What a great podcast!
Although I’m not the dream fulfilling 500th review, 😉 I just have to say that this podcast is one of my favorites. I listen to a lot of political news and podcasts, so this one is the antidote to my crabby current news funk. My husband and I are about the same age as Matt and Karen, so maybe that’s the reason I find them hilarious, but maybe not! The enthusiasm they have retelling their adventures makes me smile. Well done!

One of my Favorites!
I love listening to you both, having fun talking about your trips, laughing, and learning so much about all of the National and State treasures to visit! Thank you!

Enjoy your podcast so much!
I want you to meet your goal by the New Year! 💯🏆
Our first time listening to you was on a camping and road trip this summer loaned from our local library. Even our kids ages 9 & 10 would remind me to play it again when we would get back in the car. Your book is now part of our family memories! Now I listen to your podcast and enjoy your story style so much. Thank you.

Such a fun journey !
I just got married and can’t wait to drag my husband along to all the National Parks! I feel like I’m going along on these trips when Iisten, the hosts are engaging folks who are great at describing their adventures. I’ll be listening to all of the episodes released to date — I’m half way through already! Keep up the great work :-)

Love Love your podcasts!!
My husband and I have listened to all of your books while traveling to, in, or home from our National Parks. 22 down with a goal of visiting all in the lower 48 before we retire. Your podcasts are a wonderful follow up to the books; we both get a kick out of your humor and light hearted banter. Keep up the great work!!

Merry Christmas Karen!
Loved the books, now I am enjoying the podcast! I turned the hiking members of my family into Dear Bob and Sue fans as well...looking forward to 2021 when with any luck we all can start traveling freely again! Thanks!

I look forward to each new episode... so entertaining and funny. I just went to my first NP this year and the show has given me a lot of inspiration to visit more and more parks. Also, Matt and Karen’s banter is hilarious! #relationshipgoals

One of my favorite podcasts!
I get excited every time I see a new episode is available. These two are such fun storytellers, and they remind me why I love our national parks and lands so much.

Dear Matt, Karen, Bob and Sue
I absolutely love your podcasts as well as your books. I find myself laughing along with you. Your descriptions make me feel like I’m there with you in your adventures. My parents took my siblings and I on several trips through the years to visit many of the national parks - Yellowstone, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Smokey Mountains and Crater Lake to name a few. Each one different and special in its own unique way. Just finished listening to Dories, Ho-Part 1 and I am writing my very first podcast review to help you reach your 500 review goal. Merry Christmas and thanks for entertaining us.

Almost 500!
Dear Karen - here’s hoping your wish for 500 reviews by Christmas is delivered. And to you and Matt, thank you - the podcasts have made this year of diminished travel more bearable (no pun intended). I eagerly look forward to new episodes and often replay them while driving. Y’all make great traveling companions! Hopefully 2021 will find all of us on the road visiting the national parks of our dreams. Happy hiking!

Love it!
I’m so glad I discovered your podcasts!! I enjoy hearing about your adventures and love the side stories you tell. Listening to your podcasts are like sitting around with friends swapping stories. Since traveling isn’t encouraged right now, or getting together with friends you two and your podcasts are the next best thing!Your books are on my Christmas list. Hint, hint Santa. :)

Dorie Ho Episode
Now I want to do a river trip on the Colorado. I have done the rim to Phantom and hiked back up and loved it. I had a bad white water experience in TN and haven’t done it since. But who knows?
Also I love the goodness of the snowplow driver and McDonald’s employees in returning your wallet. People ARE GOOD all over the world I have found in my travels.
Love Karen’s giggles.
