Outside
The complaints keep coming. I searched Yelp, TripAdvisor, and Google for the best and worst reviews of our national parks in 2023. To be fair, most of the complaints were about excessive crowds, traffic jams, and new reservation systems. But some visitors had, uh, more nuanced grudges regarding lackluster scenery or were shocked by the lack of amenities.
Here are my favorites. More

FUCK COLORADO!
All these dumb shits that are unable to enjoy the natural beauty of out national parks can go to downtown Detroit and look to see how the demoncrats and blacks have enriched the ghetto. If they can’t make Detroit, they can go to Chicago
Loved the asshole in a guided tour who complained about why they built the Alamo right in the middle of downtown SA.
Seriously.
Quite often the poor experience is the tourists themselves.
They’re in a national park with expectations of shopping malls and Chuckie Cheese every 5 miles.
And most of the kids need a good spanking.
(sometimes the little ones too)

I was stationed in San Antonio three years. They also made it convenient for access to drug stores and some fine restaurants.
WISH THEY ALL FELT THE SAME SO WE COULD ENJOY THE PARKS WITHOUT MORONS TRYING TO KISS BUFFALOES, RIDE THE ELK, TAKE A SELFIE WITH A GRIZZ, OR SWIM IN THE GEYSERS
FOOKING IDIOTS, STAY HOME
So, Yellowstone smells like farts, duh, what else would you expect it to smell like with all those sulfur hot springs and geysers at Yellowstone. I loved Glacier Natl. Park when my daughter and I and went there last year, I want to go back and spend a week up there next time.
Reminds me of Obama shutting down the National Parks and Monuments to punish the right by punishing everyone.
Change.
The best vacation I ever had was at Yellowstone and the Tetons. I saw at that time the idiot ‘people’ taking selfies with critters and off the boardwalk trails. It’s beyond my reasoning how those dumb shits survived. The Lord has given us a such tremendous country it’s hard to imagine the shitheads destroying everything.
In my lifetime, I’ve been to nearly 30-40 National Parks and other natural attractions. Each one has solid memories of beauty, amazing land forms and surprises I didn’t think were possible. Being open to the grandeur of our land (Rocky Mountains and the Grand Canyon), the history of different lifestyles (cities built in the cliffs), and seeing things with your own eyes that you’ve only seen pictures of (Bryce Canyon) is forever a part of me. I have my favorites, but I’d go back to any of them given the chance.
It also helps that I have my dad’s wanderlust in my blood. Dad was always happy when the pavement was moving under him. I’m glad I’m his daughter.
“Government sucks balls. I hate every last one of you!” That’s a t-shirt worthy quote and worth reading through all the rest of the insipid complaints from the useless nature-hating douchebags.
Has anyone seen any Fentanyl Homeless down-and-outs hanging around Yosemite Village yet?
If not, wait for it.
When my daughter and I were at Logan pass at nearly 7,00 ft. in elevation, just above the visitors center at Glacier there were some morons who were scampering all over the snow in an out of bounds area. The Rangers were busy yelling at all these jackasses to get off the snow field as it could trigger an avalanche.
If they think the NPs are crowded now, just wait for those 10 million new “dreamers” and their extended families hit the gates. Oh and also add the NPS latest directives to outreach to “inner city yoots”, because the outdoor experience is “too white”. We can look forward to the parks looking like downtown SF, with the murder rate of Philly in the coming years.
I prefer national forests over national parks. All of the beauty with almost no morons.
Secondly, I would have said Las Angeles but that place was shit hole well before any decent individual left there.
I live in Cody, WY and I’m grateful for these shitty reviews.
Maybe less people will move here because of it.
Yea, well that’s fine for you to say. but the bears gotta eat too. LOL
@Mr. Liberty, that was my favorite quote! 😂 He sounded as if he could be one of our commenters here.
I remember the Grand Canyon when you could actually see the other side. Am I really that old?
I have no objection to a charge to get in to a certain extent. If it is exhorbitante than I hope it is hold the crowds down.
What does bother me is about 25 years ago they implemented a parking permit system. It wasn’t a day permit, you had to buy an annual permit for $65.00. That’s a lot of money if you just want to make one special trip. There was a somewhat historical site that my brothers and I first went to in 1977. Half the fun was trying to figure our where things had been. We went back again in 1997 to find the parking permit requirement. The last time we were there was to spread my oldest brother’s ashes in 2003 (we is legal). By that time they had made a “park” out of it with wooden walkways, and signs showing the layout of everything. To me it made it less interesting.
One really boring thing I have seen is the big meteor crater in Arizona. Honestly, it looks more interesting in photographs than in person.
While the Great Wall Of China May be fascinating, I have no desire to see it because of the crowds. I have seen pictures of it that make Oxford Street in London on a Saturday afternoon seem less crowded.
They expect everything to be an amusement park. God forbid they not be constantly entertained and catered to.
