Exploring America’s Most Overlooked National Park (Congaree National Park)

Описание: 🛶 Check out Palmetto Outdoors if you're planning to visit Congaree: https://go.schoandjo.com/s/congaree-n...

For our second National Park, we are in South Carolina, visiting one we knew little about. Congaree National Park has a rough presence online. Discouraged by flood conditions, many unprepared visitors leave the park with a poor taste in their mouths. We like to explore areas with an open mind, so today, we're exploring Congaree National Park and seeing if it's the Worst National Park or simply underrated!

We'll be hiking the floodplains of the highest density of Champion trees in North America, searching for the wildlife that calls this area home, and attempting to understand why Congaree National Park is unique.

Thanks for watching!

Cheers,
Jennifer and Elliot

ABOUT US
Hi! We are high school sweethearts from Atlanta, Georgia who try to inspire others to take the leap and travel now. In 2019 we decided to take a year off to travel around the world. We visited eleven countries, including an extended stay in India. When we returned home in 2020, we purchased a 34’ Trawler, dive headfirst into boat life, and kick-off America’s Great Loop. After 2.5 years living on the water, we pivoted to van life where we spent 7 months self-converting a Sprinter van. Now, we're adventuring North America visiting every state, National Park, and Canadian Province. The good, the bad, the ugly – and most importantly, the real and real funny. We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.”, just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem.

Thank you for following us along our journey!
