@@billbored8277 I back packed the grand canyon for a month when I graduated high school back in 1978. When we walked up to the entrance they would not let us camp there because we didn't have a car. So we walked about a half a mile away, then darted into the woods, walked deep in right near the edge of the canyon, found an old camping area, appeared to be closed for decades, set up out tent, found one good picnic table, and stayed for free for weeks. No one was there at all, we even walked into the opened camp ground area, to use showers and to get supplies. It was great.

There are profound differences between travelers and tourists. I have travelled a bit, but I have never been a tourist. Travelers use maps while Tourists use apps Just a little rhyme to show the contrast. It's ok to be a tourist, but for the fullest sense of real adventures, the tourist approach doesn't work.

[@dobiebloke9311]

​@@treebeardtheent2200 - If by that, and I assume you mean, actually, I can't actually figure out what you mean. I personally think of 'tourists (even when I've been one)', as people who have somewhere to go, meaning an agenda. Were as 'travelers', are more 'adventurers', only using maps, or 'apps', to their benefit, which tourists also do. I think the distinction is about tourists, to travelers, to the adventurers, the last two, often coinciding. To be honest, it has a bit to do with money, as it protects you, and you rely on it. I would guess, the more money and agenda you have, probably, the more of a tourist you are. There are frailities in that thought, but I think it is often true. As far as I recall, adventurers, don't really care much about money, as tourists do, in the sense that they don't know what will happen, but it will all work out, or at least, so the theory goes. I don't really know, but I will agree, there is a difference between a tourist and an adventurer, even tho they might often end up in the same place, in the same condition.

[@treebeardtheent2200]

@@dobiebloke9311 You've got the right idea I think. I'm a hiker/traveler/adventurer The map vs app distinction is technically symbolic bc exceptions exist, but in practice, particularly on long trail hikes, those who are glued to their devices following every direction (how far to go, where to stop, where to camp, etc.) fit the tourist category. The app mostly makes the decisions for them and without their device, they are completely lost. I can tell you about near panic attacks I have seen. A real map is off grid, and it's a tool for someone in charge of their own adventure (old school). A map never tells a traveler how far, where to camp etc., but a skilled map reader/land navigator can get very useful info from a map to inform his personal decision making. And the contrast rhymes well. 😉

Just the Great Lakes alone are worth a mention, California has the Sequoia National Park where the giant trees will knock your socks off. The state of Washington has Olympic National Park, a Temperate Rain Forest that is almost a millian acres - abolutely stunning. There is one in New Zealand too but it is only about 4000 acres. Of course, different plants and animals than the ones in North America - technically there is more than one in N.A.

New Zealand's natural beauty is well-known here. Almost everyone I know has it as one of their dream/bucket list destinations. America is just so big, so geography is really diverse. I feel so fortunate to live in Vermont (apart from the cost of living being so expensive), as they work really hard to preserve the landscape. It's one of the only states in which billboards are illegal.

"I've never been anywhere, really" says Nadine who lives in *_New Zealand_* . I live near Boston, MA, I've been to Acadia (in Maine), Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Grand Canyon and Alaska; but there are so many other places I want to see. Sometimes I forget how large the U.S. is, Sam mentioned driving three hours to get from the mountains to beaches. From Boston to Utah is a six hour flight! I've also been to the Canadian Rockies, to places like Banff, Lake Louise and several other beautiful places. You should check those out as well. Look forward to seeing more of New Zealand.

You could probably do an entire video on my home state of Alaska. It has some of the most beautiful views in all of the US and most Americans when hearing I’m from Alaska always say they’ve always wanted to go there.

I know an Alaskan cruise isn't "seeing Alaska", but what I did see was beautiful. Especially seeing eagles in their natural habitat and watching a pod of whales swim alongside the ship one evening.

I am fortunate enough to call the artist Robert' Fanken my friend and he lives in New Zealand. Back in the 1970's or '80's he created a beautiful movie which shows the amazing beauty of NZ. When he came through the US he shared this movie with us and it was amazing. Since seeing what he created I've always longed to visit NZ. You have a gorgeous country.

I visited Glacier National Park, U.S. side only, in 2001, it's very beautiful place and Going to the Sun road gave some nice views. Even back in '01 it's recommended to visit Glacier National Park sooner than later due to the glaciers melting so fast, definitely worth going.

[@liegelord135]

Yep. Spent a week in Glacier last year hiking, rafting and horseback riding and it far exceeded my expectations. Truly breathtaking.

My parents always taught me the way to remember it is stalactites have to hold tight to the ceiling and stalagmites might reach the roof. The name of this video should be 10 beautiful places you’ve never heard of because by and large these are not normally what you would find on the top 10 beautiful places in the US. They’re beautiful don’t get me wrong but they’re just not what would come to mind on a top 10 list.
