Appalachia is mostly dangerous for getting lost. You leave the trail and you can end up on a missing poster real fast. Get turned around and everything looks the same, trees and more trees.

Appalachia isn't big enough or sparsely peopled enough to really get lost. Follow a stream, you'll find somebody. Try that out West and you'll probably only stay lost. But you will have water.

[@CasualCaine]

the issue with the statement "Americans don't travel" is because they see America as 1 thing. but if you actually break it up we are basically 50 countries that require no passport (for Americans). every state has its own culture and way of life and the land scape changes wildly from one place to another. you could spend your life traveling the states and still not see everything it has to offer. most people don't comprehend the scale of the states let alone the entirety of the USA. i want to go see the grand canyon but i live on the east coast so its a 3 day drive and thats not stopping other than food and gas

[@celiashen5490]

Like 50 dwarves under one overcoat pretending to be one tall person. We, as a country, do have a wide and wild variety, don't we? I'm from Texas and it feels like it'll take 3 days just to get out of state. Of course, that's with all the stops and stuff.

As an American I define Traveling as doing it yourself. Getting on a plane, train or ship and letting someone else Travel while you sit around like a Bum is not traveling. Its sitting around like a Bum while someone else does all the work.

The Appalachian Trail is dangerous because of length and temp fluctuations. It is not for amateurs to do the full length. But you can do sections of it. Weapons & a 🐕 are the best defense for two or four-legged adversaries. Extremely rare on both accounts but best to be prepared for both.

If you spend any time in the West, try to immerse yourself in a bit of Native American culture. You might even want to attend a POW-WOW and shop for Native American art works and crafts. Different tribes specialize in specific genres. Silver and turquoise jewelry, woven blankets, moccasins, clay pots, bead work, carved talismans and dolls etc., etc. Indian Casinos are easy to find also if that’s your vibe.

[@ESUSAMEX]

You can hike and camp in most of the US, but you must check the local regulations to see if permits are needed. Plus the police and rangers can and do control the number passes each day. Getting the info beforehand is important because it can save your life. Wildlife dangers do exist in most of the US and for this reason their are regulations for almost everything. Fishing and hunting are regulated as well. Like I said above, get the info beforehand. Camping, fishing, hunting or being on private property without permission is a huge no-no in the US. Information is key.

[@adventuresinmusic2487]

In the West there is an incredible amount of public lands free to wild camp. I've been to all the western states including Hawaii and Alaska. From the Arctic Ocean to NW Mexico. Lots of it done by motorcycle and I wild camp all the time. Just pull off the road and set up camp. By camp I mean sleep. I'm not starting fires or chopping things down. Throw a tarp on the ground and go to sleep. I'm 77 and took my first road trip to the wilds of north Idaho the day after graduating high school. It takes a long time to see everything. My state has 31 scenic byways and is considered a roadless state. Such is the NW. We also have 25 thousand black bears. As do each of our bordering states. LOL Come on over. I recommend the NW states but if you really like desert then Death Valley and east across the Mohave, southern Utah, north Arizona has some spectacular scenery. And it is hot, really hot.

[@mnoneya9050]

Don't want to rain on your parade, but the snakes in Southern Utah and in the Mojave are unlike anything in Europe. Sidewinders are agressive, a bite is rarely fatal, but you'll be screaming all the way to the ER because it is exceedingly painful. Worse is the Mojave Viper. Their venom IS fatal unless you receive prompt medical attention. Even with that, recovery can be days. The desert is NO joke.

[@AC-ni4gt]

The desert is never ever a joke. Even during the summer when I'm the most terrified of it. Dehydration is one of the biggest problems outside of snakes, scorpions and spiders.

Most likely Camping is allowed at state parks and National parks. For hiking and trails, I believe you get tour guides as well depending on the place. And make sure you have bear spray.

[@willcool713]

I do take vistas like these largely for granted. I live in Oregon and there are incredible landscapes everywhere, and sunsets like bad hotel paintings all the time. Rainbows and "liquid sunshine" all through the spring. But there are also a lot of grey days to make everything so green. I have my truck set up so if I have a rough day, there are dozens of wild spots I can just drive to in under an hour and camp for the night, get away from people entirely, regardless of the weather. Don't even have to pack anything, it's all set. It makes weekend camping especially easy, when I can travel more. In three hours I can get to a dozen different climates and any of several dozen biomes and some really spectacular places. Longer day drives get me to even more. And, of course, actual road trips get me all over the country. But I prefer to camp and get to know places.

[@cp368productions2]

Appalachian Trail you can backpack on, as well as the Finger Lakes Trail and a bunch of others. Every trail is labeled if you can or can't backpack on them. And park rules tell you if you can or not.

[@bluflaam777LSA]

And as far as any other park, it will depend on the park, what you want to do there. It will depend specifically on where and what time of year (and what you want to do while you're there). Some will charge; some are free. Some places close at specific times, seasonally or even daily. Some will limit the amount of ppl per day or per season. Some places will need a reservation. Some places limit what you can carry in. Some have virtually no restrictions. There are plenty of parks like that. The restrictions are for public safety, annual maintenance, restoration after storms/flooding/fires etc. or to limit human traffic in general so that wildlife/habitat stay wild and for the public to have the best experience they can.

[@lindacarroll6896]

[@agatehuntress499]

One thing to note is if any attraction is on a Native American Reservation, a lot of times, you'll need to purchase a permit from that particular tribe -- like if you want to see Havasu Falls or Antelope Canyon, you'll have to get a permit and they only take them during some times of the year, plus there are other things you have to do, like pay for them in advance and have proof for each person paid for. Each tribe has different rules, so check well, well, well in advance online, for anything like that.

[@a00141799]

Its a shame that foreigners have to consider whether its safe to travel the national parks of this great country. But so much of the news that they get is about crime and violence and they associate us with that. And unfortunately, perception becomes reality. I have traveled to a lot of these locations and many others from my home here in Washington state and never for a moment have I felt unsafe. 99% of the people that you will encounter will just be other explorers and sight seekers. And the rest will be park employees lol... So Jono, please bring your family, your pets and your sense of adventure and prepare to be amazed. ♥ Rich in Seattle. ♥

The only time I've ever felt worried about doing a hike in a national park was when I forgot the bug spray or sunscreen. You're almost always passing by likeminded people who are there to enjoy nature and have a good time.

[@Andrew-Collet]

It comes with the territory these days. More than perhaps anything they see on the news, any time foreigners say they want to travel to a certain place, there’s unnecessary comments from people being all “prepare to get shot or robbed!” Some of that does definitely come from the kind of media they choose to consume though.

[@TheCoolwhipped]

​@@Sgt_MoDog_USMCno, it's because before a lot of drug and alcohol laws were relaxed, that's where the outlaws would have their setups, be it a grow or a still. More importantly, that's where the other side of that business also occurs. Just going out there, you're fine. It's seeing something you weren't supposed to see that could put you in danger, and there's no one to help you if you find yourself in trouble. It's generally just a good rule of thumb to never go onto public land unarmed.

[@TheCoolwhipped]

​@@HikingPNWif you stay on the trails, you're pretty much fine, but it's going off exploring that can get you in trouble with people who were off the trail for illicit reasons. California is notorious for having punjee pits, IEDs, and armed cartel members out in the middle of the forest surrounding illegal grow sites.

It's what gives the layering and different conditions at the time makes for different types of rock and colors. The shapes are from wind and rain erosion.

Balmorhea State Park is a natural spring fed swimming pool. The water is clear. The deepest point is 35 feet. To preserve the bank of the pool they used brick and concrete. There is a high diving board and a few lower diving boards. There is a camp ground next to a canal that runs through the small town of Balmorhea all the way to the lake. The canal also serves as a water source for farms. One of the coolest things about the pool is that there are fish everywhere.

Though I'd not want to step into the water of The Narrows (around 1:00) in winter, in the summer, it's really pretty nice. I've been there at Zion, as well as the other 4 UT parks. Also, the double arch at 1:04 is the one through Boy Scout Indiana Jones ran through at the start of 1 of those movies. Monument Valley (3:10) is on the stunning Navajo Nation just east of Grand Canyon. If the colors at the start of the New England section were touched up, the narrator would be making fraudulent videos, and could probably get in trouble with KZbin. No, it's actually that colorful. It's caused by the hardness of the wood in the trees, such as maples. They absolutely pop in the fall/autumn with color. A few summers ago, I stopped at Garden of the Gods when in CO, as well as the Royal Gorge train immediately following. At 7:30 is Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone. Minor point here--Grinnell Glacier in Glacier N.P. is grin-ELL, rather than GRIN-ul. The 4 heads at Mt. Rushmore were sculpted--with dynamite.

The best way to choose your road trip destination is to live in the US. Then all you do is pack your vehicle and say, "well family, which way, North, South, East or West?" Then hit the gas... LoL! 🚙💨

There are about 8000 SERIOUS snake bites in the US every year. Among others rattlesnakes, cotton mouths, all sorts of other vipers, coral snakes, etc. Don't forget the massive pythons although not venomous.

I'm not sure but I think your not allowed to just put a tent up in national parks but they do have many designated areas where you can. I'm not 100% on that though

[@reindeer7752]

You should visit the ranger station in the area in which you wish to camp. They can tell you where to camp and where not to, advise you on bear activity and weather, etc. Also, if they know you are in the area they can help in sudden unforseen circumstances. A lot of stations also have maps and books on the area and souvenirs. I'm sure you can get info online about camping, too, but rangers are more up to the minute on helpful info.

I think the locals prefer Appalachian pronounced with the “lach” with an “a” as in latch.

[@mariandenk1210]

@@tejida815 I am local to the Appalachian Mountains. Some people do use the pronunciation you use, but I grew up saying “Appa-lay-shin”

[@tejida815]

@ I see. Ok, because I witnessed some tense corrections of, really the way I grew up saying it. Thanks for clarifying.

[@reindeer7752]

I live here in Appalachia. A historian and naturalist of the area says to remember the correct pronunciation by thinking of someone throwing an apple at cha.

When Europeans say Americans don't travel to other countries they seem to forget we're far away from a lot of places so the cost of air fare is higher than for them, also the US is about the size of Europe so traveling for Europeans to another country is not that far. Also, plenty of Americans go to other countries.

You can camp anywhere on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land with some restrictions, you can also RV camp alongside a designated dirt road. Some areas are safer than others, obviously, so it is best to check first with the local BLM office. The Grand Canyon is very impressive, personally I would rather stay in Williams vs Page Arizona. It is a little touristy, but there are more places to stay, eat, shop and play in Williams. It is also more central to Flagstaff, Kingman, Sedona, Prescott and Page. It's funny one of my bucket destinations is Karlovy Vary, which has some incredible architecture not to mention the spas.

You don’t need a gun in Appalachian Mountains. You do need a gun if you walking in London.

As an American it’s just always so hard to picture anywhere in the u.k. as dangerous, although I’m sure it is.
