Here are some unsolicited opinions (MY TRUTHS lol) on the topic of lands managed by the National Park Service.
Gateway Arch will never be a national park.
Cedar Breaks National Monument is prettier than other places in Utah.
Having to make camping reservations 6 months in advance to avoid them being sold out is a fucking nightmare.
The need to get “the shot” for social media is ruining the world and National Parks. People have turned into total monsters for a photo. I’m not mad that people are actually get out to these beautiful places, but I am mad at some bad eggs who make it miserable for many others. Also, stop parking like total fuckwads.
Olympic National Park is superior to other national parks because it has mountains, rivers, rainforests, regular forests, ocean beaches, petroglyphs, lakes, and waterfalls.
Death Valley is one of the best national parks and I don’t think enough people believe that fact.
Mt. Rainier is cool, but have you been to the national forest land around it?
Crater Lake is a deep lake that looks really pretty at sunrise. Again, have you been to the national forest lands around the park?
The hike to Delicate Arch is always worth it.
Sand Dune Arch is under appreciated.
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is one of the most spectacularly underrated NPS sites.
If you haven’t gone to Redwood State and National Parks, you should. Go see the trees that tower higher than buildings in your hometown and tell me we don’t need to do everything in our power to protect them. Take this same mindset and go visit Sequoia/Kings Canyon too and marvel at the trees.
The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is the best rim in the park.
Bryce Canyon looks even cooler in the winter.
