Premise

The show centers on Chumash and Cowlitz siblings Kodi, Summer and Eddy Skycedar, who wield magical necklaces that enable them to enter a magical spirit dimension in their national park. All three can assume animal forms: Kodi a grizzly bear, Summer a red-tailed hawk, and Eddy a turtle.

At the end of the second season, the Skycedars' necklaces are stolen by the Trickster Trio, a group of antagonistic animals. An otter spirit creates new necklaces that enable the Skycedars to transform into aquatic animals: Kodi a stingray, Summer an octopus, and Eddy an orca. The Skycedars later recover the original necklaces, which fuse with the second set and enable them to assume both forms at will.

The third season reveals that the Skycedars' mother and father were previously Spirit Rangers, but lost their magic after transferring it to them. The two later regain their magic, enabling them to reassume their respective spirit forms: a bear and an anthropomorphic tree.
