Although they are breathtaking places that one could only see once in a lifetime, I don't think I would ever want to visit Yellowstone, Yosemite, or any of the big touristy parks. I'm not even sure if I'd want to visit the Grand Canyon.
I've seen many videos on YouTube featuring miles of cars, just inching along, while disrespectful tourists photograph big game. Sometimes you see idiots get out of their cars to get close to the animals. It disgusts me.
I prefer the little, secret places. I don't tell people about them. I want them to stay pristine. I do not want my nature experience to involve crowds of loud strangers who do not know how to behave around wildlife. The minute I saw someone approaching the animals, dropping litter, or talking loud on the trail, I know that I'd become very irritated.
Yellowstone, and other crowded parks like it, sound like a nightmare. I would not enjoy myself at all.
