The largest single reason for disappointing travel experiences is the failure to plan properly.
From Michael Frome
There are too many people coming to parks doing the wrong things. They treat the parks like popcorn playgrounds. They don't understand what the national parks mean.
Autos for years seemed to give us freedom and independence, but when they create traffic jams and other problems in the parks, the experience of serenity in nature that visitors expect is seriously diminished, if not destroyed.
One of the most unusual shuttles operates at the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historic Site in Texas, carrying visitors on a one and one-half hour trip past Johnson's birthplace, the family cemetery and ranch house, and through the ranch.
However one reaches the parks, the main thing is to slow down and absorb the natural wonders at leisure.
I don't know of a single park without serious environmental problems.
