And best time of year to visit. I'm interested in hiking, fishing, packrafting and other general outdoors actives. Just barley finding out about gems like Glacier and Teton. The Colombia river has sturgeon and the north Cascades has sasquatch. They all seem like really interesting places to visit and I'm sure there are many more out there. Where have you been to and why do you find it interesting?

I like Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.

I'm assuming that's in England? I really wanna travel, but because of Coronavirus, the borders are closed or it highly inconvient. I think I'm stuck in the United States at least another year

Australia.
You'd be far more familiar with British place names because they're all over this country.

The Yellowstone/Grand Teton/Jackson Hole region is my favorite region on earth.






Been a handful of times. And as cliche as it sounds, it's just magical. The views are epic. Gorgeous granite peaks on top of you. Pristine lakes and rivers everywhere you look. Waterfalls seemingly around every corner (there are 45 names waterfalls in the region). Sprawling forests. An amazing array of wildlife -- grizzly bears, wolves, moose, eagles. Even the exceedingly rare wolverine inhabit the parks. Just to name a few. A five star ski town (Jackson) that rivals Aspen.
It's just a very, very special place. The only downside is the wealthy elite have taken over and made it their winter playground -- many celebrities and just very wealthy people in general have priced out the average person thus making living in a place like Jackson Hole a distant dream for most.
But pound for pound when it comes to the pure beauty, outdoor activities and wildlife, it's a 10 of 10.

Id say Yosemite is my favorite. Such a vast, Epic landscape!
Also Hawaii Volcano National Park on the Big Island. Its the first National Park Ive ever been to and its one of my favorites. Everytime I go there, I think of Jurassic Park.

Yep. I'm gonna move there and open in a gym in four years. I've finally figured out what I'm gonna do with the rest of my life once I escape corporate hell!!
It truly is the best community/pace of life I've found anywhere in the world...

So far it's Yellowstone National Park. That shit is dope and amaaaaaazing views and hikes and animals (bison, wolves, coyotes, black/grizzly bears, marmots, antelope and more). During a hike we encountered a herd of antelope and they hissed at us really loudly. The geysers are breathtaking. Anywhere you look there are vents of steam escaping from the ground. So much thermal activity there it's like a new planet. You will dissolve if you jump into the geysers/hot springs.





Parks in western NC are great, too, such as the Great Smokey Mountain National Park and the area around the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Yeah it's such an epic place. On a truly grand scale.
The hotels inside the park are so cool, too. They're so old and historic. With so many legendary people who have stayed within those rooms too (like Teddy Roosevelt). And the vibe is awesome. Just talking and being around all those people who come from literally all over...and not just from the United States, but from all over the world.
What year did you go?

Never been to the States, so the only parks I've got to go off of are Canadian. Big fan of Strathcona, close-ish to home which is a selling point. Unlike some more tourist-filled canadian parks it doesn't feel crowded or overly curated.

I never went in the hotels in the park, unfortunately. We stayed in a cabin-looking building (it was pretty nice) just outside the park's west entrance. I got nothin' against ole Teddy. That sounds fun! I went in 2017. What year for yeah?

Kosciuszko National Park through to Alpine National Park, along the Victoria/New South Wales border in Australia. These mountains are my one true love and my second home

 And really just about anywhere along the Australian alps. Doing the entire 650km walking track with a group of likeminded hikers has been on my bucket list for a couple of years now. One day it will happen.

I'm partial to the entire Sierra Nevada range. Mineral King National Park is pretty epic and very wild. Kings Canyon has sequoias. And on the eastern slopes you have a geothermal paradise almost entirely on BLM territory. Every season has its positive and negative aspects. I'm partial to late fall because it's much less crowded. You need to get that sweet spot between summer tourists and winter sports.
Also Channel Islands National Park off the southern California coast is worth mentioning. Santa Cruz Island in particular.
