I'm pumped!!

Grand Canyon and Yosemite are too crowded. I love Big Bend, to me it is what a National Park should be. But to each their own. One of these days I will see a total eclipse...

To clarify, Bruce did say "have never seen", not marveled at the masses of people at those locations.

I was told by a ranger that 90% of visitors to Yellowstone never get out of their car.

Much closer, I'm still out enjoying nature, and I can set up a telescope to observe the skies at the end of the day. Everything else is good enough on HD TV ... without the bears.
