Yosemite National Park
Visiting Yosemite National Park felt more like an obligation than something I really wanted to do. It’s immense popularity scared me a bit because I don’t like dealing with the overcrowding at popular parks. When I visited, I made sure to get there as early as possible and managed to avoid the crush, but by the time I left it was standing room only. Regardless, glad that I got to visit one of the crown jewels of the US National Parks system.
