if you're in SLC it's worth checking out, go for sunset and stay for the night view for a while.

>Head towards Capitol Reef and completely ignore it
rude, but the best parts of Capitol Reef are definitely off the beaten path. Some of the best parts of most parks are off the beaten path, but the most well known spots are often excellent as well which isn't really true for Capitol Reef I suppose

As for overrated parks, Rocky Mountain probably tops that list for me, the mountain vistas there are just not as good as other mountain national parks like Glacier or Grand Teton or others, frankly they're not even as scenic as other areas of Colorado. Wildlife is pretty good but not as good as Yellowstone or Glacier.
Olympic is massive and diverse but it didn't stand out to me. The forests were better at Redwoods, the coasts were better in Oregon and the mountains were better further inland.
And for some reason Crater Lake didn't really wow me as much as I thought it would.
These parks are absolutely still excellent though. The only ones I really don't care for are Wind Cave, Guadalupe Mountains, and Pinnacles. White Sands is just ok also, it's cool for a minute.

I've been to all of these in the lower 48 except Isle Royale, and Yellowstone is the winner, in terms of stuff to do. They say Grand Canyon is one of the natural wonders of the world, and, yes, you have to see it, maybe even hike down into it or riverboat along it once, but Yellowstone is just denser and more varied.

Sequoia, Bryce, Mesa Verde, and Acadia are worth at least looking at because they have something unique to offer. But you do want to dedicate a bit more time to Yosemite and either Glacier or Grand Teton (depending on season,) because they give you an idea of what the Rockies are like (Banff in Canada also works in summer.)

Frankly, Smokies, Everglades, and Mammoth Cave are kind of just representative portions of the region, and if you want to experience that kind of thing, it's better to find one of the state parks, usually along semi-major rivers.

>They say Grand Canyon is one of the natural wonders of the world, and, yes, you have to see it
I've been there a while back and it felt like a tourist trap, however it is a massive canyon and is worth seeing. maybe it wouldve been better if I did a hike with a mule to the bottom of the canyon.

I found the Grand Canyon to be awesome in a very old sense of the word. I've been back since, and was still filled with awe.
But, I've known people to say it's so big that they can't comprehend it and thus find it boring. So, to each their own.

>>2680324
The only national park unit (unit not full on park) not worth visiting is Rushmore. The town is fucking garbage and the monument is a hideous mark on the otherwise gorgeous Black Hills. Jewel and Wind Cave nearby are really cool and so is Custer state park.

Any recommendations for group tours in Australia? My father is recently retired & never got to travel much. There's always been a fascination with down under here in Ireland. I am looking for the most packaged tour possible with little planning or effort needed. Also the more Crocodile Dundee-esque the better. Thanks

I will be visiting Naples for two days, I don't know anything about that place. Any recommended hotel? Go area to visit, places to avoid?

How can hotels be so expensive in "cheap" countries?

For example: A night at Hilton Kalastajantorppa (Helsinki, Finland) would cost 106 € per night. At Hilton DoubleTree (Skopje, North Macedonia) a night would cost 89 €. At the same time, average monthly salary in Finland is 3 900 € and in North Macedonia 650 €.

I'd assume that this would somehow be seen in the price of I just want to stay at a Hilton without needing to sell a kidney god dammit!

>>2683219
Probably because Finland has a better tourism industry than North Macedonia, so there's more competition. That, or tourists generally expect to pay roughly the same price no matter where they go, so there isn't a lot of downwards pressure on hotel prices.

Superb (9+) hotels on booking.com in both places
There's clearly still a pretty big difference
hotel prices aren't really affected by local economy because they likely won't be used by people from that country

what a shit post

>>2679267
I traveled solo there last summer and it was a blast. Not sure about traveling in winter, you should make sure you get as much sunshine/daylight as possible cuz those 4 pm sunsets are a mindfuck. Go to museums, visit shops, walk around town squares and parks. Hostels are a good way to meet people, especially if they have bars or lounges. Basically everyone in their 20s can speak some English so you should be fine.

your schizo posts are so cringe and pathetic. you are ao far off the mark for everything you say. but i would expect this level of cringe from a white dork who never got the courage to learn how to drive. that is just so lame bruh.

Is this the Philippines general or the schizo general?

>>2683384
it might go back to being the Philippines general soon. Cuckshed has humiliated himself in seceral threads. Plus he threatened an influential Filipino and his Jewish wife. That shit doesn’t fly here. Cuckie is desperately trying to cover his tracks and avoid deportation because I reported him to the NBI. The NBI will be looking through his post history and they will determine if his past antisemitism is a real threat to Eugene, Vika, and their child.

>>2683461
KEK!
Imagine finally settling in the Philippines but you are such an insufferable /pol/cel chud that you can’t refrain from harassing a Jewish mother and you end up in a Filipino prison before being deported!

Cuckshed better book a flight home back ASAP! I don’t think he will do well in the Pinoy legal system. His post history will likely be national news!

Slovenia was quiet, quaint, and lovely. Ljubljana is the country’s biggest city but it doesn’t feel like a big city. Great food too. Otherwise I’d say Lyon was pretty chill. And I went right when those riots were taking place last summer and nobody at the bouchons really gave a fuck. Just stick to the city center or Old Lyon and you’ll be fine

>>2683402
What were your favorite things to do in Slovenia?
Slovenia actually was a country I was thinking about because it might be fun to cycle around
How much do they speak english?

>>2683417
They have a big castle complex on a hill overlooking the city. Walking along the riverbank and people watching is pleasant. I walked around at midnight and didn’t feel unsafe at all. Trying different food and beer is also an activity. You can probably catch a bus to other towns and lakes in the area, but that’s not what I personally did. Their English is pretty good. Rule of thumb, is people under 30 can speak English, over 30 is hit or miss.

Switzerland is very expensive even by European standards. If that's not an issue then by all means go there. Cheaper option would be Austria. Both countries are chill, people mind their own business but still are friendly. You might wanna think about renting a car tho, driving around the mountain range is an experience.
Both have low immigration and low crime. You will be judged as a american first before anything else :D
Also what the other guy said, most people around 30 or lower will be able to speak understandable english.

South Asia and anything south of Morocco in Africa. I don't give a fuck if you had a nice trip to India, Bangladesh, or the Congo, they're shitholes to me with nothing of worth.

>>2682512
As a Balkan enjoyer, I fully agree. Whatever you're looking for in western europe, the balkans have it 3 times cheaper with less tourists. They're the only countries worth visiting nowadays

>>2682850
Obviously, but time and money are limited so you don't want to waste it going to dumps like Johannesburg South Africa

Paris probably? The demographics aren't what they used to be

I used to want to go to the amazon rainforest but not anymore probably, too many bugs, too much fungus, might run into an illegal operation, etc

Why go to Algeria when Tunisia is right there?

>>2683081
Not OP, but Algeria seems like you could get the RealTraveller™ experience. Tunisia looks cool though too. I did Morocco, and while it was great, I constantly felt I was being ripped off (spoiler: I was). Touts were obnoxious as fuck.

The USA is the 3rd most populous country. Almost 340 million people. It’s also the richest country in the world. It comes at no surprises there are millions of Americans that travel. Yes many Americans don’t get good PTO but there are enough that get a lot of time off. I get 5 weeks a year. Not including two extra weeks depending if I use them. That’s a total of 7 weeks. I travel multiple times a year. It’s a combination of having the time off and making other sacrifices to travel. I don’t drive a nice car, I don’t make risky investment, etc.

>>2682914
I run my own business and I usually take about 7 weeks a year off too. You almost feel bad for the Subway guy, but bro lives in Los Angeles. There are endless opportunities to make money in LA.

This. You see many Americans abroad because there are 330 million of us. Most of the Americans you see abroad are suburban boomers or families as well as backpacking college students or young adult professionals. In my experience, young adults and college students backpack all over the place, whereas suburban white families stick to cruise ships and the most popular destinations, like Paris or Amsterdam for example. The majority of Americans don’t even leave the continent and I’d say close to half never leave the country. Their versions of vacation are going to Myrtle Beach or Lake of the Ozarks or some shit. Also you’ll rarely see hillbilly redneck Americans abroad because they simply cannot afford to travel and it is more expensive for them since they don’t live near large airports

Huge understatement. I was driving through that area once and came across a funeral where the people were dressed like they lived in 1700s Mexico, were carrying the casket like a mile down the middle of the highway in the summer heat. Some men were on horses.
People in the little towns still speak spanish but it's unintelligible to Mexicans because it's like hearing Shakespearean English to us. What a strange place.

Also understated what a shithole NM really is. There were huge billboards everywhere that said shit like "Don't OD on heroin."

california should have billboards like that

>>2682766
>Those places are all pretty white, but most of northern new mexico is hispanic/indian/hippie
Protip: "northern New Mexico" means "the mountains" for everyone except local tourism boards trying to mislead people. When someone says "northern New Mexico" they don't mean those tiny little towns along I-25 or Santa Fe or the reservations - they're referring to the small part of the state that's effectively a wart on Colorado's ass and MAYBE Taos but people generally (and correctly) identify Taos as its own little planet.

>and has a very different flavor than colorado
Not from non-yuppie Colorado though, and that's my point. Places like Questa and Chama feel more like Westcliffe than Santa Fe.

>>2683021
Questa has almost no white people in it.
Is westcliffe mexican?

It’s arguably the region in the U.S. with the least distinct identity. Conversely, it is considered the most “plain jane” American region. Probably what you think of when considering this region are county fairs, corn dogs, fireflies, and swimming holes. But it’s the most boring region in the US when it comes to nature. Just cornfields and meandering hills. I’ve heard conflicting things about the people ranging from nice and down-to-earth to passive aggressive and crazy. Ironically after decades of decline, the cities are in a bit of a rebirth. You can probably get good housing for a relatively cheap price. And the infrastructure is pretty good because of the industrial past
