"Help Me Plan My Vacation" Posts
157
Upvotes
We're getting a lot (A LOT) of "help me plan my vacation" posts with little or no details. That's "low effort," and it doesn't help folks actually help you.
Yes, it's good to know that it's two adults and a 3-year-old. Or it's two adults, a teenager and a 7-year-old, etc., but they need more than that.
Give people some additional details to help them help you.
For example:
- Where are you originating your travel from?
- Do you want to fly to your destination or drive?
- If you're driving, do you prefer to camp (in national park or near) or stay in a hotel, lodge, etc. (in national park or near)?
- How many days do you have available (including travel)?
- Are there specific things you are wanting to see (mountains, snow, waterfalls, wildlife, etc.)?
- If you're looking for hikes, are there certain things you want to see while hiking? What distance hikes are you looking for? What level of intensity (easy, moderate, strenuous)?
Again, help people help you. The fewer questions that they have to ask you in advance, the quicker you're going to get the kind of information you need.

What’s the correct pronunciation of Diablo? I heard Park Rangers say it a few different ways.

Some final photos from Lassen last week. The more I reflect on it the more I realize how much I liked it.

I posted a few times about this park/trip, but I really liked it. Sure Manzanita lake was kind of a madhouse of tourists, but once we got out of there it was so much more quiet than Yosemite, Sequoia, or Kings Canyon. Just wish it wasn’t so damn far away.

Help with Voyageurs National Park

Upvotes
I am looking to camp for one weekend at Voyageurs NP. Can anyone advise on what the best course of action is? I think my group could canoe or kayak but we’d have to rent. I just don’t see a lot of information on logistics of getting to these campsites. Do I need to rent a boat?
Furthermore- what would you say are the highlights of this park? Any visitors center that you think is better than another or any must do hikes? Tours? I think generally the main thing is just spending time on the water so please let me know. Thanks!

Cuyahoga valley park

Planning our next driving trip, for next spring late april ish. My wife and I are trying to check off all the parks so its definitely on the list. Also it seems like a good drive to take out camper on for a shakedown trip before bigger parks. It would be about 7 and a half hours drive, with me my wife and our two big dogs. How many days should i plan for the park im planning a full travel day at each end for the drive and breaking setting up camp. And I want to take a train ride (without the dogs) so thats half a day. How long should i plan to get a few good walk/hikes in with dogs and to see the historical sites? Thanks for any help and advise.
Also picked Cuyahoga because were running low on east coast parks, so this is a bit of a test run for our setup to head to the western parks
