From the Channel Islands in California to Bryce Canyon National Park, Maui, and Big Sur, Aiello takes a Nature-lovers perspective on exploration.

Camping on a budget, kayaking with friends, and hiking mountains with safety cables are examples of Aiello's hobbies that are documented for viewers to see. Each half hour episode takes viewers to a location off the beaten path, with directions on exactly how to get there. With summer and winter vacations highlighted, Motion is produced with the average outdoorsmen in mind. Aiello narrates throughout, providing an inside look into his climbing, hiking, photography, and general fitness abilities.

Death Valley, California

OK let's face it. Death Valley isn't exactly a great marketing name, but if you haven't bothered considering DV as a place to visit, you really are missing out. Death Valley is the largest National Park in the lower 48 and is home to the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level. But there is so much more to this enormous part of southern California that deserves closer inspection.

Geocaching

Geocaching is an activity that is spreading like wildfire around the world. It's basically a high-tech treasure hunt using a GPS (Global Positioning Unit) and a home computer. A cache is a usually small box or container filled with trinkets, odds and ends and other items of little value. A logbook or register is also included so that 'cachers' can record their visit to a particular geocache.

California's Central Coast

There's much more to California than the lights, camera, action of Hollywood and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. While both LA and the Bay Area are great, there's nothing like the laid-back style and scenic beauty of California's Central Coast.

Yosemite Falls: Over the Edge

Yosemite National Park is home to many scenic wonders but one stands out as spring snow-melt fills the rivers with water. Yosemite Falls is one of the tallest waterfalls in the world at nearly 2,500 feet and as the water explodes from the brink of Yosemite Valley's north wall, it thunders into the rocks below, echoing through the entire valley.

Point Reyes National Seashore

Point Reyes National Seashore is a 70,000 acre park preserve located just north of San Francisco along the California coast. This largely overlooked treasure of the Bay Area is one of the best spots we've ever seen for hiking trails, wildlife, solitude and scenic beauty. This entire stretch of California coast is frozen in time. You won't find any roads, cars, buildings or anything else that resembles civilization. This is the California coastline raw, wild and rugged.

Extreme Car-Camping

Car camping is an excellent way to get outdoors with friends and family without strapping on a backpack and venturing into the wild. With car-camping, many of homes 'creature comforts' can come along for the ride, making your time 'roughing it' not so rough. With a little extra effort and a 4-wheel drive vehicle, you can escape the crowded campsites everyone knows about and venture into places away from it all for a camp experience you'll never forget!

Mono Lake, California

Mono Lake in California is one million years old. It was once the biggest pond in North America. It is about 60 times smaller today but it is still a great place to explore. Underwater springs bubbled up from the lake-bed seeping minerals into the super-salty waters of Mono Lake slowly creating limestone towers. South Tufa is a photographer's dream, so don't forget the camera and try to aim for an early or late visit as the light will be best for pictures and the crowds will be gone.

Channel Islands National Park

The Channel Islands sit just 20 miles off the coast of southern California but once you visit them, you'll feel a world away. A one-hour ferry ride from Ventura Harbor will transport you to Santa Cruz Island...the largest in the chain. Here, visitors can camp overnight in one of the campgrounds or you can visit for the day. Hiking trails twist throughout the eastern side of Santa Cruz Island and will take you to incredible sea cliffs, open highlands and lost coves. Sea kayaking around the Channel Islands is world renowned and Santa Cruz Island is home to the largest sea caves in the world. A guided trip along the rugged shoreline will take you deep into these caves where headlamps are needed.

North Carolina's Outer Banks

North Carolina's Outer Banks are a haven for people that love the outdoors. But there's a lot more to the OB than perfect beaches, warm water and lots of sunshine. The Outer Banks are an excellent place to get away from the crowds and explore tidewater marshes teaming with wildlife, learn to fly a hang-glider over the dunes where the history of powered-flight began or to discover a wildlife refuge that has preserved the natural beauty of the Carolina coast and the animals that call it home.
