Nature Overload | Overcrowded State Parks & National Parks
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 04. 2024
- I have been traveling full time exploring nature for almost 3 years now. When I go to national parks & state parks, it's been difficult to enjoy due to the overcrowding of our parks. I'm still thankful to see these parks though. I understand why some parks do the reservation system now, since the outdoors has become popular. As you'll see in this video of Snow Canyon State Park in Utah.

My biggest gripe is trailer people set their camper up in the forest and are not occupying them for days on end. Also the wealthy people reserving camping and not showing up taking place that could be used. The 4x4 overlanding people have some advantages but the government is closing routes all the time. so Sarah get out and enjoy best you can.😊
The worst time to visit the big parks is on the weekends, I find the best time is usually during the middle portion of the week.
😢 I live 30 miles from Yellowstone park 😢. People are horrible pig's 😢. They have no care for anything or anyone 😢. It's so sad.
My son has memberships to a number of camp grounds and he still has to have reservations fare in advance.
Tourism is nice but it takes its toll on these protected locations. I like to try and have as minimal impact on my stay at places whether there is caretakers or not. Just because of the crowds, I try to stay remote and go where other people won't bother trying. One of the benefits of having an overland style vehicle.
To save it, we must protect it. LIMITS. And jail-time for littering and all abusive behaviors.
Jail time? Really? The United States ''Land of the Free'' leads the world in total number of citizens incarcerated, with more than 2 million prisoners nationwide (per data released in October 2021 by World Prison Brief). So, how long will it take for this simple lesson to sink in, ''Jail time is not a solution.'' 😜🤪🙃
@@HomeMadeBowjail works for some people. But for those who don't care and will be released and return and do the same thing. But others will not. But you must have laws especially finds impossible jail time if you wish to make a point. Because most people litter and think they can get away with it once they've left. The hardest part is catching them but I do agree with these days way too many prosecutors and judges are paid by George Soros
For those who can travel the CZcams influencers have made visiting parks the place to go to and enjoy nature with a
grand view. For now it's all about the Southwest since the weather is too cold in the north but those areas will be visited
by the many very soon. Death Valley is pretty empty since it is very hot right now at 90 degree plus. Everybody is finding
a way to get away from their uneventful lives for an adventure.
Enjoyed again, Sarah and Little one
Wow! From the first second this video started was pure beauty! Thank you for taking me with you!♥️♥️♥️
We need more parks to accommodate all the nature seekers😂 Beautiful area, reminds me of Red Rock outside of Vegas. It’s also very crowded.
They have been overcrowded for years.
Weekend in most parks are packed. The weekend warriors need to escape to the wilds!
Great video with fabulous scenery.
Another great video Sarah and Lil one...sure is a beautiful place 😊
I was just in Bryce Canyon and parking was difficult because of so many people. Last year Moab was the same way... no parking at any spots. Wait till college and schools fully let out and peeps start vacation. Good luck and be safe!
Beautiful scenery Sarah, you are so right to respect our State Parks and National Parks. ❤🎸
Snow Canyon is beautiful and one of our favorites. We'll be going there again this year. Safe travels.
❤❤ hello beautiful Sara hope you have a wonderful week. Stay sweet Gary.❤❤❤
Man I miss Utah when I lived in Wyoming I tried to make it to northern Utah. Didn't make it to southern Utah to often. My parents worked In Bryce Canyon but still never made it down there, when I did I didn't have much time for exploring. I like living vicariously through these videos. Thank you Jeepsy. ❤
Thank you! It's sad to see it happening. I'm glad I like winter camping. Travel trailer with heat! lol Have a good week ahead!
Hey hun! As you do, you've found yet more beautiful scenery (Think I may have said the same in my last comment). bAlthough I've not been to Utah, I love the State: it's up there for me along with Arizona, Nevada and, oddly, Nebraska. Love 'em all. Oh, I shouldn't leave out most states in Tornado Alley (Being a part time UK chaser too).
Of course, I love the video.
Love to you and Lil One. You know the rules... Be well, Happy and definitely safe, okay. Lotta folk care about you. I'm not the only one.
Take care Sarah J.
Wolfie.
My sister lived in St George for a few years ... always liked Snow Canyon...excellent video...
Utah is my home state then iv also lived in Durango/ Farmington Colorado/New Mexico and #Yes respect it out here, there are beautiful places to see, but please pay attention to the weather ☁️🌨️🌨️❄️🌡️🌡️ forcasts cuz you will get into trouble 😵💫😵💫 and stuck or even death in the slot canyons. Thats the truth right there. 😮😮. ❤❤😊😊. I love and live for truth #Amen. ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😮😮. #YourBeauitful. Thank you so much for just being yourself and recording the Beauty 💗💗😍😍 of Our Lands of this #World We All Live in Together #Amen.😊😊❤❤.
Good morning 😊. Thanks for the beautiful views😊
Hi Sarah and lil one, miss both of you 💞 , I hope people take care of there trash at these parks , seen a few go down in the east coast areas
It's insane the amount of people traveling after "coco puffs" as Wonderhussy says.
Indeed, too many people with no manners or common sense; take care⭐️🤩😎
I love snow canyon, but never on the weekend. Enjoy!!
People can't afford hotels. They think they are practicing survival skills. Ha! Ha!
I get ya,, I'm on the road, spend time looking for cool place, then go, and Whoa, crowded
Did you ever get your vehicle checked for tracking devices after that experience with the three guys?
It is majestic!😃
I lived in St George for 11 years. When life would get to be too much I would go to snows canyon. It was not developed other than the 2 lane road and the national institute of fitness. I was on call most of the time so I could go out there and still respond to the ambulance if needed.take naps and wake up to the most beautiful starry skies.
When you were out by gunlock so many memories were brought up. Swimming, boating and camping. So many friends now gone. If I could get back to Utah I would be so happy.however I couldn't live in St George area anymore. It has been ruined. Just as snows canyon is no longer secluded and virtually empty.
They used to film Cadillac commercials out there. I have many memories of responding to emergencies out there. Still it soothed my soul to be there. I'm sorry you didn't get to experience the true beauty and peace of that special place. At least you got to see the waterfalls at gunlock. Be safe and be well. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 for you and Lil Bit.
Amen to respecting Mother Earth
I didn't see bike riders ....i saw battery packs
Stunning landscape well captured 🌿👀
Good video pretty scenery good job filming till the next time I'll be watching for you thank you
Most crowded I've seen is Garner State Park in Texas.
My little one was triggered by skateboards. It could be a nightmare walking her in a hipster neighborhood in the city.
Great advice WJ.
August 1975, rode my motorcycle to Yosemite from the Midwest. No advance KOA reservations en route. No advance Yosemite campsite reservation, once arrived just had to find a campground with an open site. I did, Upper Pines!!! Stood on the Overhanging Rock, no one in the immediate area but me. Glacier Point, probably 10 people there. Didn't realize one could hike to the top of the Half Dome until a Ranger told me. Next day, I climbed HD with no problem along with probably 25 hikers. 2024, man, how Yosemite has changed. I never do weekends or holidays at a SP or NP.
Hahahaha I wanted to hear more of that song 😂😂❤❤
Not all that wander are lost...😊..have beautiful day my friend..you look great.....❤
I'm in Shasta lake city thinking about going to the coast out by Humboldt....I emailed you...ttyl
Where do I go to find a wanderingjeepsy... impossible
E bikes, all the rage. 😊
Sign of the times I hate to say…looks pretty though 👍🏼
Just home yesterday from my shortened adventure .. weather shortened my trip. But I hear you on the campers .. never seen so many people with camping rigs .. and tenters are making their way back too. I got into Coral Pink Sand Dunes and got the last site. From there went to Natural Bridges and they were full .. so off the Muley Point and boondocking. I have found it wise to stay away from any park that has 'dunes' in their name .. completely taken over by side by sides and ATV's .. already planning my next trip and I am probably stay away from most of the parks .. Goosenecks State Park was $10 and a decent place to stay .. maybe I shouldn't be giving away the good spots .. LOL 🤠
Natasha is such a cute little diva😊 and I think she's special and I think she knows it.
Great video as usual Utah is beautiful love t be red soil
Actually, if you read the history of the establishment of the national parks, the land was set aside to preserve swarths of native land but also specifically for people to come and recreate, i.e., play, within them.
The problem with reservations seems to be to me,
Yup Waaaaaay over crowded !
It’s like an amusement park on a weekend everyday in Sedona! Super Sad
So many crowds of people drove us off the literal beaten path & we discovered the true mystique of Sedona & we learned more about native folklore & legendary story’s of the area being completely true.
Nice video, thank you for sharing your thoughts and info Sarah
Those look like E-bikes, I didn't see any pedaling at all! Ya weekend "warriors" out there just taking up space and not really doing anything. Yes, people!
Maybe come out east to Appalachia for a bit. I think you'd love it here.
Another great vid! Stay safe
Crazy busy after all the people saw some people traveling and CZcamsing the experience 😂. Hey, I can do that😂
In summer is very hard to find camping especially in spring break but there's always beach camping out in California really nice campgrounds out here in California from San Diego all the way up I have some spots received and out in santa Barbara
West Virginian here. Love your adventures. Wanted to chime in on this one. Within the last few years, we had a local area deemed to be a national park. Since then, we've watched tourist traffic grow abundantly. Our beautiful mountains and streams are fast becoming polluted with camping and hiking trash. Most of our local residents can no longer afford the outrageous prices to vacation at the places they grew up visiting. Even if you can afford the rental prices, out of state people have bought up the local restaurants and grocery stores and raised prices there as well. I don't mind people visiting, but out-pricing locals and disrespecting our land is not cool.
It's happening in Indiana, too. It's ridiculous. We don't have mountains like your beautiful state, but have lovely state parks. Now their unbelievably expensive to visit regularly.
I noticed the influx of folks in nature around covid - people couldn't do anything else. I avoid popular parks on the weekend as you found, you cant find parking, as you Hope you're able to find the courage to get back to boondocking. Look at it this way - you now know you have have great intuition and you can handle yourself.
I would expect this to be a very busy camping year. There has been a high number of layoffs. That and other downward economic indicators. Are going to force many. To vacation, a little cheaper.
I have a part Chihuahua and Papillion and she lifts her back right leg to pee too.
She has her cone in again? I’m pretty sure she had it off last episode 🤷♀️
Great video Sara 👍🙏🥰🇨🇦🐕
And it's just going to get worse. Sad fact. That's why the Feds are doing what they're doing. Like you, I can't blame them. Also affecting land owners with more and more trespassing and squatting. Hope you have safe travels Sarah with many blessings.
Well, have you thought of going back to Moab? Where you were last summer? It would be safe, familiar. Just a thought, I know you have plans already, but they aren’t in concrete are they? You want to be cool this summer, I totally get that! Don’t we all?!! Go where you are going to feel safe is the important part for sure. ❤️❤️
😊
🩸SALUTE MISS JEEPSY 🩸 W / R 🩸WHY HAS THE LITTLE ONE GOT THE COLLAR ON AGAIN , BLESS HER LITTLE HEART ❤️
This was filmed before I took the cone off
We drove up to Red Rock one weekend and I swear you couldn’t see the mountains thru the sea of people parked and walking thru the desert, it was terrible. And trash everywhere! After a weekend in Mt Charleston it was disgusting. If people would take out what they bring into these beautiful places, maybe the fees wouldn’t be so high to get into them. And some places you still actually need a reservation……wow.
Great video. Did you see the 57 Chevy 2-door BelAir at 3:51? Awesome!
Good Stuff.
👍🐾
One of the things I'm grateful for previous president making sure our national parks get money for conservation.
Imo...
Asphalt and electric bikes should be allowed in national parks 😢
Beautiful park. Do you ride bikes..looks like fun
The people are getting angry at the government for choking us out of our retirements and our lives. If the governments won't respect the people the people rebel.😂❤
❤👍🏼👍🏼🙂✌🏼
Honestly I dont ever go to them. The rangers are overbearing and quick to write a summons. No green allowed even though it's legal in the State.
Federal land, federal law. Hopefully one day that will change.
@@DeborahFlorian-gy6lw changed yesterday right? Federal law only applies when they want it to. What about the federal law and the illegal immigrants? The feds are not upholding those laws!!! Quick to slam a natural born citizen,and give a pass to invaders??? We need a complete overhaul in this broken Country!!!
The whole of the west is NOT one big National Park. Town folk take note....
People don't use their reservation and empty campsites everywhere
Do Utah State Parks have an Entry Fee?
Yes
looked like a Hell's angels convention. What a hard -core bunch of outlaw's bad ass bikers. Not safe to go anywhere. None of this is true so get back out and, do not be scared but be safe ALL thank you!
I see a multitude of colors and it's fantastic. Looks like they care more about the bikers than they do the over the road driver's hikers and campers. And those bicyclists don't care who else is on the trails they think they're the only ones. That's shameful. Looks like those bicyclists are just flying past you. I could actually accidentally hit little one cuz they have no Integrity or scruples respect for others yet they think they deserve respect that's an entitlement. Yeah you can tell I'm not happy about that type of thing. But I hope you enjoy your time wherever you're at. And stay safe
America appears to be waking up to the soul sustenance only nature can provide. But people bring with them their bad habits. And really it's gonna take time to recover from that brush with disaster with those guys. As you know, solo female travelers don't have it easy.
Sarah this may be too personal for CZcams but have you thought about therapy to deal with that incident with the three guys?

Hey , yeah it's been discovered, MY beautiful AMERICAN WEST . So in a few weeks I'm heading west yea ! - so when boondocking in areas near towns , citie, near major roads I always like to camp in the vicinity of other people . Once I'm on a gravel rd way back on BLM, National forest if I see a good spot I feel safe totally alone , and the people you do meet are ( usually ) of the same mind set . Peaceful sleeping to U !
The decision to lay asphalt, will bring people wishing to explore an edge of the desert, 3 went passed on the same bike type, which suggests a hire business to me.
I think however there is still enough desert for everyone, Sarah Jane only goes remote which l think demonstrates this positive.🏜️
