Wichita, a.k.a. "Cowtown" earned an important place in western history thanks to the Chisholm Trail, which half-Cherokee trader Jesse Chisholm and scout Black Beaver laid out in the 19th Century to ship Texas Longhorns east on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, where they could fetch more money. Today, Wichita is the largest city in Kansas, where aviation has since replaced the cattle drives. We'll explore the city, its history, the acclaimed Old Cowtown Museum, and more, all while camping at Lake Afton County Park in the rural prairie just west of town.

USE WHAT WE USE
We've opened a Grand Adventure store on Amazon! amazon.com/shop/GrandAdventure Unlike other Amazon shops, every single item you see in our store is hand picked from things we use ourselves in our own Grand Adventures, from RV stuff to our dogs and even photography and videography. We've tried it, we've tested it, and we can heartily recommend it. No random stuff or paid product placements.
It costs you no more to shop Amazon with us, but by shopping our store a portion of each sale goes to bringing you more and better Grand Adventure videos! Thank you for clicking through to give us a look!

ABOUT US
Welcome to Grand Adventure, a YouTube channel that focuses on RV-centric outdoor activities including not only of course camping, but also mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing and more, always filmed in stunning 4K.
We're based in Salt Lake City, Utah during the winter months, and invite you to come along as we travel all around the U.S. My wife Patricia and I, and dog Zoe are avid boondockers, so while you'll occasionally find us in RV parks or even dry campgrounds, we're usually camped in some of the most remote and beautiful spots that you could ever pull a travel trailer into. We've now transitioned from "long-timing" for six months a year, to living and traveling in our RV full-time.
We'll provide beautiful travel videos, as well as some tips and insight on trip planning, and equipping and maintaining your RV to make your next adventure a grand one indeed! So, subscribe to make sure that you catch every episode, and remember...life is nothing but a Grand Adventure!
