Coming off another week in the national parks (this time, Utah) - I’d encourage you to go see more/others.

GC can be pretty cool, but I’d not put it in my top 10 parks. Mainly because of the people and the mares ruin the effect on a hike. And, staying at the top is a bit boring.

For my money, Zion or Yosemite are better. Both with their own set of people related problems.

Off topic, but was at Bryce a couple days ago and some guy was FaceTiming at 7:30am filling the entire canyon with his and the other people’s voices. Terrible manners! Ruined the first 30m of the hike.

Yes but the fact that your parent post exists is proof that not everybody thinks like that - and bored kids are not the most reflecting, awe-inspirable human beings.
