DISCLAIMER: This is a reupload of a video I made in September 2021. I failed to mute the background music in the original video, ruining it. I did not catch this or think about it until just now, so I am bringing the video back. The commentary is identical, and if I made the video now it might be a bit different, but I have no new experiences in the parks mentioned so I opted to preserve the original video but fix it for those who tried to watch it but struggled due to my error on the music. The only things that changed were the background music and the thumbnail.

    Fun fact: San Juan National Forest is where Colorado's last grizzly was killed. It mauled a bow hunter guide, who stabbed it in the neck with an arrow. Agreed that it doesn't make sense to make it a Nation park, too much recreation and, I'm sure, logging, grazing and mining leases.

    Great Smoky Mountains is my closest park, and one that I visit every month or two. I'm surprised that you didn't enjoy it. Did you do any of the hikes? You have to go back and hike to the top of LeConte, it's probably the prettiest hike in the park.

    I would mostly agree although I would place Grand Canyon higher. The crowds at the south rim really detract from the experience and I feel like it gives a bad impression. If you haven’t been to the north rim and been hiking in the back country down in the canyon, you haven’t actually experienced it. It’s a completely different experience and much wilder. I used to rank it pretty low but now it’s easily top 3 behind Yellowstone and Yosemite. Still hoping to get to Denali one day.

    • @NationalParkWild

    Wow that map is interesting. It shows there’s tons of national parks in the west. Environmentalists and democrats really need to stop building more national monuments in Utah and Arizona and start building million acre national parks and monuments in every state east of Colorado. It’s insane the U.S. hasn’t bought up land for conservation when they preach we need to go green and conserve. I was shocked when I learned the massive forests in New York are private and not a national park.

    BBNP used to be a great place to visit. Hardly ever crowded, you could always find a camping spot. Post pandemic it’s all but ruined. Tons of disrespectful idiots from the city driving too fast and reserving spots but never showing up. Terlingua has been destroyed with ridiculously expensive airbnbs and restaurants catering to the selfish masses of the urban jungle. Unfortunately, the secret is out and the park will never be the same. Videos like this definitely do not help.

    I was lucky enough to drop in twice in the aughts when visitation was manageable. My only visit in the summer season (2019-Memorial Weekend) was a horror. Long wait into the park, longer wait to get on the bus. Skipped several trailheads because there was zero parking. It's still my second favorite NP but it is being loved to death and I will NEVER visit in high season again.

    I'd rather really 'experience' a park than just check them off of one's list. I've got about 20 more to see, but I've visited some parks half a dozen times and spent over a week in several. I have a ratings scale but I am always honest about not having spent enough time in a park for a definitive assessment.

    • @NationalParkWild
      @NationalParkWild Місяць тому

      I understand that. From my perspective, I could never give a definitive assessment of a park because it’s impossible to truly see everything in most cases. I think your method of seeing parks is certainly valid but so is going to them for brief times. For me personally, I simply don’t always have time to spend in parks, so I just try to make the most of a short time. There are some I definitely want to revisit in the future, and that’s the goal from now on. Thanks for your comment!

      @@NationalParkWild I started out with shorter family visits, but after college and full employment, I quickly planned a week in Yosemite full of big hikes. My baseline generally is the National Geographic guidebook and maybe few additional hikes. If your interest in NPs becomes a lifetime passion you'll start finding a bunch of "secret destinations" with some research. I've seen lots of them finally break on to the internet in the last 15 years, but there are still plenty of amazing places known only to locals and rangers. I've got some antique park maps with destinations that have been removed from recent park maps.

    This is one of my top parks I want to visit. A bonus to this park is that the Nevada Northern RR is in nearby Ely. I would love to make a Nevada trip where I see the Nevada Northern, Great Basin, Cathedral Gorge SP, and Valley of Fire SP. Although not a national park, Craters of the Moon NM might be a good underrated park.
