So sorry for the typo on *"Military"!*
While on the road to Four Peaks, this set of planes flew by very very low and was a surprise to us that were enjoying the view of the peaks.

When downloading the video just now, I received a response from my inquiry about the planes so, you can ignore the question on identifying them but please comment if you've been exposed to them previously. It was a neat experience!

So this is what I just now found out:

C-130 Hercules - Military Aircraft
1954 through present

The C-130E/H carries 6,700 gallons of fuel in six integral wing tanks. Under each wing of the C-130E/H is an external pylon fuel tank with a capacity of 1,300 gallons. A pressure refueling point is in the aft side wheel well fairing for ground refueling.
Designed to carry only 90 paratroopers, the Hercules's belly was bursting with far more people than that. With herculean effort, the C-130 had lifted more than 20,000 pounds above its operational limit. The C-130 has been a lifesaver during its six-decade history.
