Henry interviews travel writer John Vlahides about his Lonely Planet guide to Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon National Parks. Henry's opening is characteristically grand: "You would travel halfway around the world to see a place like Yosemite, one of the most spectacular spots on Earth, and it happens to be right in our front yard." His joke about mistaking a boulder for the guest ("That was not John. That was just a boulder just there") sets the playful tone.
