FAQ #3, suggested by āā āŖ@ultima8250ā¬:
How do you decide what trails to do when your time in a park is limited? AllTrails
This varies, and I tend to use a lot of resources. At first I always read this book called Your Guide to the National Parks by Michael Joseph Oswald, which I highly recommend. I sometimes use AllTrails, but I find things based on a rating system to not be my friend typically. I have more fun reading somebody elseās ranking of the trails on their website or similar, but AllTrails can be helpful for providing more information about a trailās difficulty and narrowing down which ones you can do and want to do with limited time. You can really search for trails however you want and you canāt really go wrong with national park trails.
Comment down below any questions you would love me to answer.

FAQ #2:
Why do you rank national parks? Theyāre all so great in their own ways and it seems trivial to compare them.
I do understand this sentiment, and I absolutely get it if you donāt personally have favorites when it comes to national parks. However, I simply love ranking things. When I was a young kid, I loved reading Guinness World Record books and seeing all of the top 10 lists. That interest extended to a book called The Top 10 of Everything, and combing through lists full of fun facts and statistics nurtured my curiosity about the world more than maybe anything else. I used to rank everything I could because I had so much fun with it, and that interest has continued for 10 years. When it comes to national parks, despite my love for rankings coming from world record books, I do not rank the parks on any āobjective metricā. Frankly, thereās no metric at all. When making a national park ranking, I just love thinking back to my experiences in each and determining which ones were the most amazing to experience. Obviously some do not enjoy seeing great parks at the bottom of the list, but a park that ranks low is only there because I have different experiences in each park and some stick with me more than others. Me ranking a park low doesnāt matter in the grand scheme of things, I still love reliving the memories of every single park. I never claim to have an objective list or to be making something that should be used as your priority list when visiting parks. I donāt think enough people realize that there is no correct national park ranking. When I make a ranking, Iām just doing it to have fun and talk about these places that I love so much. Others can certainly rank them differently or choose not to rank them at all, we all show appreciation for the parks in different ways. They are all wonderful, but never in quite the same way. You certainly can choose to leave the parks unranked, but I personally love being able to combine my ranking obsession with my passion for the national parks.
These questions probably wonāt be a daily thing, but I will do them when I can. Ask any others you have down below.

I get a lot of questions about national parks, and oftentimes there are repeats, so Iām going to try something new where I answer frequently asked questions in community posts for all to see. Here is the first one:
How did you go to Mount Rainier without seeing the mountain?
I get this quite a lot, and the answer might help those planning to visit Rainier. On my first visit, I looked at the mountain but did not see much of it due to cloud cover. The Pacific Northwest often gets very foggy and cloudy just due to the temperate climate of the area (thereās more science to it but Iāll leave it at that for now), and it is not uncommon for the mountain to be hidden as a result. Itās hard to know for sure when it will be visible, but checking weather conditions in the days before you go to the park is your best bet when planning. I revisited the park last summer and saw Mount Rainier in its full glory for about 2 hours. Should you go to the park, I hope the weather is in your favor.
Fell free to comment down below other major questions you are looking for answers to.

My name is Eric. I am 19 years old and have been to all of America's 63 National Parks. I have also earned Junior Ranger badges in all of these. For the last 8 years, I have traveled to these beautiful places, photographing everything I see. On this channel, I discuss my experiences in these national parks so you can learn about them! I recommend everybody visit these natural wonders, and feel free to ask me any questions you have about the parks.
