[quote=Anonymous]People were making fun of me on this forum when I said I was crossing off as a travel options this season to a national park. Yup, this is why!

In fact, even a couple years ago? I made sure to do Glacier, Yosemite, we did Joshua Tree and a couple others that we really wanted to see that are popular because in a short time, it's not going to look like it always has.

The beauty will be going away.  It's partly climate change and partly politics.  Things change - you really can't take for granted in these times when tech is moving so fast, there are so many people in the world and travel has become so accessible to expect the sights will remain as they have in the next 10 yrs.  They will look totally different.

We did Venice, Miami, New Orleans - I'm about to go see AK next.  Looking at safari in Africa.  I want to go to places not like Chicago, NYC or Boston, Rome or Paris, but places that really are under the threat of change.  I want to take my kids to see the beautiful places I've seen because it just won't be the same in their lifetime.

As for this season, I would definitely avoid the parks for sure.  It'll be disgusting.  I think it can be done cheaply if you enjoy camping but it can be truly lux and $$ in the right resort.  The most wonderful thing about enjoying the national parks is the scenery is breathtaking no matter how you want to approach viewing it.  [/quote]
