Even in the national parks? And what about Canada?
3 comments

In USA National Parks & National Forest are open for exploration. I'm incredibly grateful for the park service maintaining them.

Unfortunately, their locations are not evenly distributed. They are highly concentrated in the Western portion of the country. The closest national park to me is 8+ hours away.

National Parks in the US are typically vast open spaces far away from where most people live.
Canada has the advantage of a ton of crown land.
