Everglades National Park is home to the world's most dangerous tree. It’s called the manchineel.
The tree’s sap is toxic, and it's present in every part of the tree. Touching the tree or eating it’s fruit will cause blistering and in extreme cases death. Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon is rumored to have been killed by an arrow from a native that was covered in the trees sap.

I absolutely love the Roosevelt quote about our parks.

[@aidanklein7619]

Black canyon of the Gunnison is the most underrated national park in my opinion. You cant really hike it unfortunately, only drive through to different small walks to lookouts, but that means you can easily see the whole thing in an afternoon.

[@laurenstrasser]

Interesting info, and you tell it well. One suggestion I would offer - could you pause longer and maybe say which park you are talking about next when you switch between them? Some parts were hard to follow. Looking forward to the next one!

[@gina50gina]

I really enjoyed this video. It is informative and also fun to learn facts that I may not have known. I watched it twice. Can't wait for the next one!

[@JiMMyRoxks]

Can’t wait to see what is said about Cuyahoga Valley National Park

[@Fishtory]

Whoa i had no idea about the Nevada glacier! I've gotta go see it, before it's gone. Thanks!

[@GeographyGeek]

Someone told me on twitter that they’ve seen it but they were disappointed because it just looked like a pile of rocks 😂

[@stevedietrich8936]

When you go make sure that you check out Lehman Caves as well. Part of the same park. Bristlecone pines are there as well.

[@cyrilio]

Love these factoid videos. Hope to see them more often in my timeline.

[@clarissasebastian4052]

Great job

[@nice2835]

I would like to see labels on which park you're talking about.

[@jlpack62]

I think that I'm more concerned about Burmese Pythons than I am about a tree. At least a tree isn't going to chase me down and squeeze me to death. They also aren't going to migrate into my neighborhood and hide under a bush waiting to eat a dog or child.

[@JersJohn]

Love the content

[@examininglife4338]

Is there going to be a part 2?

[@principalmcvicker6530]

1:20 the first person to ever say "the superbowl of ultra marathons"

[@c.i.demann3069]

maybe put in some graphics, so we can see the name of the park you're currently talking about?

[@barrymorrow3319]

Good video

[@joemarchinski914]

love the channel

[@GeographyGeek]

I appreciate it!

[@joemarchinski914]

@@GeographyGeek I appreciate you time and research to make these info/ tainment videos....I love to learn about our planet and my own local environment....I am a nature lover.....

This is gonna be interesting 👀

part 2?

[@NawDawgTheRazor]

That’s why Teddy’s face on that cliff 😂

[@albtckl]

Lol good point 😅

[@randymerritt1021]

I'm not afraid of the tree nor the python. Unfortunately the pythons have become such a Scourge to the local wildlife. One was caught recently at 200lb and 18 ft in length. As far as the tree we used to call them Beach Apples and see them quite frequently on Cape Sable on many fishing trips out flamingo in Everglades National Park.

[@MikeP2055]

Evidently I don't understand how altitude gain is measured during the Smoky Mountain race It seems like an 18,000 foot gain would be pretty tricky on mountains that don't exceed 6 or 7,000 feet above sea-level.

[@GeographyGeek]

Definition on wiki - In cycling, hiking, mountaineering and running, cumulative elevation gain refers to the sum of every gain in elevation throughout an entire trip. Basically every time you go down yo have to go back up and it adds up.

[@MikeP2055]

​@GeographyGeek I don't even remember writing this comment (🍺🍷🍸), but upon reading your reply it makes perfect sense. Thank you.

[@ajduker]

Man, if only going up 2500 feet repelled mosquitoes lol

[@StageRight123]

1:20 I drive that route at least once a week. 3:20 Lowest elevation in the world, not just North America. 9:25 As we unfortunately say here in the Sierra's, 'A fed bear, is a dead bear'

[@clinton5538]

Dude, take a breathe, turn it into a Dramatic Pause between parks. Seriously let the last spoken fact sink in for your viewer before moving on.

Please no more commercials during your video

Please stop mooching then. Your entertainment ain't every truly free, bro.

[@kylesmith2604]

Haha what a quote from Roosevelt, just a way to keep curious minds out. We should hate the fact that we know so little about said Grand Canyon. The very same canyon many explorers and indigenous peoples over the years have supposedly witnessed even greater wonders within the canyons walls… the very same caves the military has boarded up :)

[@GeographyGeek]

🤦‍♂️

[@Killersanchez256]

For Part two before you show us facts tell us what park it is and show us where it is on a map because its hard to keep all this information organized.

[@-opus]

They probably all have at least 3 mcdonalds

[@GeographyGeek]

Yeah that’s not how National Parks work.

[@-opus]

@@GeographyGeek That is how everything works in mcmurica. I assume the national parks also have wide spread racism, inbred religious extremism, gun stores, war crimes for oil, and little Trump-monsters running around grabbing people by the pussy. Do you build walls around your national parks to keep native fauna out?

[@dustinholmberg7583]

Be more specific with your qualifiers. And don’t use as many.
