Subtle, I went to Jackson Hole brag.

I went in September and it was great. It’s all about timing brah.

Did it ever cross your mind that you're exactly the same as everyone else at the national park? You're taking up space and making it crowded just like everyone else. What makes you special?

Yosemite as well

Yosemite NP is about the size of Rhode Island and Yosemite Valley makes up about 1% of its size, yet it is the Valley where the traffic is overwhelming
It is absolutely spectacular in the Valley, but there are many hidden gems in Yosemite NP that visitors should explore

Yellowstone is a shitshow. Grand Teton was amazing.

Was at Little Big Horn a couple weeks ago. It's remoteness keeps much of the common dregs away.

The lottery system sucks though. Bought up by bots and companies making profits. Only solution is to raise the prices by 3 or 4 times to start and see if that helps.

Did Yosemite this year in very early summer. Parking for those who don’t stay in the park is rough. 2 hour lines to get in. Recommend staying inside the park.

Big Bend is great. SMNP is good since most don’t get off the main roads. Go in winter and you’ll be free of all the scooters.

So Joshua tree is not worth the time? I was kind of wondering if some people held that opinion. Seems like once you’ve seen one of those trees you’ve seen them all

Haven’t been to Teton, but my wife and I have alot of experience with Yellowstone. Love going there, and still do. But, that is because the last several times we have concentrated on one area (Lamar Valley, Specimen’s Ridge, Hayden Valley, Swan Lake, etc.), and completely avoid the the Southwest portion and other crowded portions of the park.

If you do that, and get out of the car and actually explore the place, then you’ll have some of the most incredible experiences you can imagine in that place.

It’s huge and plenty of places to go to avoid the crowds.

Joshua Tree is great. Great road system to drive through the park. Quietest place I’ve ever been when we got out and hiked through the large boulders. Definitely go if you can. It’s an easy driver up from Palm Springs.

It’s the result of whiney bitches like the OP, who can’t figure out how to navigate a place like Yellowstone that’s bigger than multiple New England states put together.

Sure there are big crowds of stupid tourists gawking at Old Faithful. Go gawk at it with them for a few minutes and then go find one of the innumerable spots in the place with nobody else in sight.

Satan does not live there. It is too hot for him in the summer.
