12:06 I’m a long-time fan of the channel and was so surprised/happy to see that you used my stock photo. Thanks for making my day!
1:30 to expand on the terminology. Legally there is no difference between a National Park, National Historical Park, National Battlefield, etc.Realistically the only difference is marketing. As a sort of natural experiment Indiana Dunes National Seashore became Indiana Dunes National Park in 2019 and saw a bump in visitation despite not even changing the signs at the park itself.
Just wow, we live on an incredible planet. Grateful these places are protected.
I've been to 6 of these parks. I have plans to go to a few more soon.
I was excited to hear something about my favorite(and very near to me) Shenandoah Park and then 😢😢 instead. Such a downer after all the great stuff said about the other parks.
A+ video!
LOVE IT!
I remember the glacier point fire fall. I was five years old
26:00 Hyperion's location is known.
GPS coordinates 41.20491, -124.01556
I know that you had to exclude many different places to make an appropriate length video, but I wanted to include one of my favorite, Assateague National Seashore. Primitive camping, wild ponies, salt marshes. What could be better? Oh yeah, horseflies as big as robins and mosquitoes that will drain your children of blood.

And....?
@@cherylcampbell9369 And when I graduated from the University of Missouri from the Master's Program, I graduated with one other student. Do you care about her family name?
@@cherylcampbell9369 The student's last name was Campbell, I had to double check that it wasn't her that responded!
Thank you for reminding me to include that fact.
10:59 "...white occupiers."
Kudos to the writer(s). Perfect phrase ❤
They just meant to say occupiers, since due to the woke definition, every person in the US is an occupier.
@@OneOfThoseTypes It is the perfect term.
Plus you snore too loud.
@@OneOfThoseTypes😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 no.
@@cherylcampbell9369 You don't know how anybody snores, and you don't argue facts, you only agree. Just have your parents explain.
They are not called "Fire flies" they are "Lightning bugs"
Fun fact: they are known by multiple names in different places.
Weird thing about common names for organims is they have a tendency to be call multiple names for the same thing (looking at you, Cougars) or be called the samething for different organisms around the world (looking at you, Bluebirds). Which is why, the scientific world we like...scientific names. The family we are talking about for producing bioluminescence for insects is Lampyridae consisting of ~2,000 specific species. So a lightning bug or a firefly is correct, either way, they are an amazing organism that everyone should witness in the wild, just don't hold them unless you want your hand to smell.
Regional differences. Pro tip, learn to just accept them now, because no one likes a person who insists that their regional name for a thing is the correct name.
Just to drive the point further, "firefly" is the older term and would, therefore, be the correct term, if in fact there were a "correct" option.
None of the other commenters got the joke.
It's not a joke if it isn't funny.@@paineoftheworld
Observation based on just the title: "1 fact about all 63 national parks."
36 minute video with 1 fact in it. Are we supposed to guess which of the 63 facts you'll present is the actual fact or is it that you're only going to have 1 fact that covers all 63? The latter seems more likely from the title, but not the run time. There are also more than 63 national parks. Google says there is 429.
What I'm saying is... change the title. "1 fact about each of 63 selected national parks" would be better.
Comment from someone who clearly googled how many national parks there were and read only the Google card of the first hit, in a bid to appear smart and to find something to complain about. Had you clicked on the link and read what the US National Park System page had to say, you'd see that they're clearly referring to the sites actually referred to officially as the 63 national parks. The 429 is the number of "units," some of which are parks, the majority of which are not. In fact, there are only four official categories called "parks."
No one likes a know-it-all, especially not one who is clearly just looking to feel superior.
omg.
Thank you for telling the truth about how Shenandoah was created. The sacrifice that was made so that park could be created is heartbreaking. I grew up in the shadow of the park and my grandparents land bordered the park. In the late 80’s early 90’s, Superintendent Jacobson, who was the park superintendent at the time and I can’t remember his first name, was determined to take more land, including the hollow I grew up in. These were mostly hollows that the park couldn’t afford in the 1930’s and they were part of the original plan. A friend of mine spearheaded a campaign to stop him, schmoozing congressmen, bringing them to our little hollow church, and helping other community members. Jacobson told her that he would win. It took an act of Congress to stop him. He didn’t win and the home my Daddy built in 1954 still stands, even though my Daddy is gone. Also, these is a play that was written by a doctor who moved here and opened his practice. He listened to his patients talk about the trauma of being forcibly removed from their homes. It has played to sold out audiences. There will be another run, I’m just not sure when. His lead character is someone I grew up knowing.
Wow I was just wondering where the bugs bunny "what a maroon" bit came from. Ty for clearing it up.
I've been to a few of those places. Still missed a lot.
I've found graveyards while hiking in the Shenandoah
The Arches National Park item about biological soil crust is probably referring to cryptobiotic soil, which is the "endangered dirt" mentioned in the movie Broken Arrow (1996) which means I actually learned a science fact in an action movie.
There's 65 national parks though ...
I thought the internet said that Denali is the largest park
So the tallest tree in the world location is unknown, not sure how that will help if it's the tallest.
13:25 I think you meant to say temperatures can vary 125°, not 25°
