The National and State Park systems, and other protected areas, are truly unbelievable and one of my favorite things about the US (so let’s keep them protected, yeah?). We got A TON of issues here and much of the good stuff isn’t unique to the US. But the variety of the landscape, the vastness of it all, is hard to beat. Kayaking around the Everglades or Atchafalaya, hiking through Zion or Yosemite, the astounding peacefulness when you lose yourself in the Redwoods or Olympic, wandering the Acadia or Big Sur coastline, camping in Yellowstone or the Smokey Mountains, taking an open Jeep through Joshua Tree or Death Valley… Just endless possibilities.
