Beautiful looking. But doesn’t look like a smart place to pitch a tent.

Getting a car pass online at Glacier for the Going to the Sun Road is a pain in the rear.

I really really like Bryce Canyon, Arches and Acadia National Parks.

That's what I was thinking as well.

Plus, desert landscape is prettier on TV. It's like swamps. Beautiful to look at remotely, but kind of sucks in person or for extended periods of viewing

Give me mountains/hills and hardwoods any day.

No, that's Big Bend.

Acadia is very nice in the fall. There is a lot to do in a small area. The traffic just sucks during peak seasons.

Acadia surprised me, I always ignored it and finally went last fall and it was a great trip.

Good luck getting a reservation at any of the great lodges in Glacier. Maybe the high cost of inflation will keep a few people away. Ordinary you need to make a reservation at least a year in advance

I love Big Bend. Remote camp on the South Rim near the cliffs.

1- Yosemite
2- Yellowstone
3- Zion
4- Acadia
5- Bryce Canyon

South Carolina has the distinction of being the worst.
Congaree National Park is nothing but a swamp mosquito habitat. We went just to check it off the list, but hats off to whoever the Congressman was that pushed through NP status for that place.

We took an RV trip with the kids during COVID summer to Palo Duro, Dead Horse, Bryce, Zion, and Grand Teton.

When we were at Zion, the shuttle buses were closed, so they shut the road to the trail heads off after the very small lots got full, and very few people were there. We camped in the park, Abs road our bikes down that road, walked the narrows, and biked back.

It was amazing.
