replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes A9. We stumbled upon the Hull's Trace Unit of @RiverRaisinNBPF when not expecting it - it definitely could use its own Ranger Station to interpret the history there. #ParkChat

A11 The closet "off the beaten path" #nationalpark to me is @CongareeNPS. I don't get there nearly as often as I would like though because it's still a long day trip. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute The Jetty is less off the beaten path than it was though - there's a book about it, and a 393-page PhD dissertation gathering dust in a college library somewhere #parkchat

replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes A10 Well @_out_door_ is an obvious choice here! I'm also a big fan of the late Robert L. Wood and his guide to the trails of @OlympicNP Harvey Manning is of course my favorite guidebook author of all time, but Wood's guides are great and slightly less well known. #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur @Wild_Tribute @ParksandPoints @59NationalParks @AniakchakNPS Because they occupy different acreage, we count them as separate—so we make sure to visit both. We've done the same with the other Park & Preserve units. I get your reasoning for a place like Denali, but some are rather different places (eg, Craters, Great Sand Dunes) #parkchat
