Thread 2832338

Has anyone visited many of these? I've been to a lot of US National Parks, but not many in Canada. Looking at this map some look pretty remote. What's the point of having so many that you can only get to by plane? (I know that's not the reason to designate an area, but you still need people to visit them to make a point of having them). At least a dozen of those are practically impossible to visit without expensive charter planes and even if you could there are literally no facilities like camping grounds or towns to get supplies.

For conservation

that's why no one visits them. I live in Canada and Nahanni Valley has been on my bucket list for 5 years now but it is so far away and expensive it's hard to justify the trip when for half price you could be in Japan or Europe
I'd be surprised if anyone on /trv/ has been to the territories t bh

I've been to Bruce Peninsula though - has that beautiful cave of water but it is crammed full of smelly Indians from the Punjab and outside of that one beach/natural pool area is basically gravel rocks, cedar trees, and jatts. So I don't really recommend visiting this park unless you're already in the area for something else

there are also many provincial parks like Algonquin, not sure if you are deliberately excluding them or if you do not know about them

>>2832338 (OP)
yeah going to one of those places is a serious expedition. you need a team

>>2832338 (OP)
The parks are unified only in name. Really they should be called "basically a parking lot" (Pacific Rim), or "overtourism hellhole" (Banff/Lake Louise), or "remote wilderness preserve" (Wood Buffalo).
Things get weird with sites like the wrecks of the Terror and Erebus, which are "national historic sites" but arguably the most difficult Parks Canada site to visit considering they're north of the Arctic Circle AND you need to dive to visit them.

>>2832338 (OP)
bruce peninsula is very nice. also be sure to look up provincial parks there are so many more in reasonable locations.

>>2832351
They should only be reachable by passing a spoken English test

>>2832338 (OP)
Avoid anything in angloid canada since the people there are nigger-tier, unless you're a troon faggot, then you'll enjoy their godawful "english" accents and overall faggotry.

National Parks are not just about tourism. I don't know why some of the specific areas are designated as NPs but it doesn't really matter if they're accessible or not.

I've been to most of the ones you can drive to, by and large outside of Jasper-Banff and the surrounding parks they're not too remarkable, especially compared to the diversity of the US parks in the prairies and westward.

Fundy Bay is sorta neat for the extreme tides.
Gros Morne has some cool fjords and geology.

if you go to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_parks_of_Canada
and search by year, the older bigger ones tend to be in western canada in areas that weren't claimed by private citizens and then many of the newer ones are part of land claim treaties from natives where the government lowers their cash payout for taking the land by saying it's a park and you guys can hunt in it but industrial use is banned

if you look at alberta, wood buffalo was too north/cold to farm and then jasper/banff was too difficult to travel through the mountain so whites never made claims on it and then the government could later perserve it

You have to be rich to enjoy these remote parks. No commoner slobs can afford it.

>>2832338 (OP)
The most visited and best parks [jasper and banff] are not remote at all. I live about 30 minutes from jasper and hike around there all the time [but I dont stay in jasper because thats expensive as fuck]
There are so many mountain ranges you can hike around

I've been to whitehorse a couple times for family and business related stuff. City is ok.

Jasper and Banff are comfy. Used to live in Canmore for a bit.

Can't you just snowmobile through the park in the winter (and if strictly forbidden: just to the corner of the park and then continue on ski?)

Or a boat trip in the summer through the rivers? Just found this one:

Seems to be a thing.
As a Europoor who just looked a bit around on Google Maps I would just drive to Nahanni Butte and bring my own boat and enough equipment for a few weeks. I would prefer to be in a group of 4-6. Of course you need time and experience, material etc..
Doesn't seem so tricky, now I want to do myself in the next 3-5 years.
For the northern coastal stuff you need a boat but a well kept fiberglass sailing boat from the 1970s and 1980s can be had for 10k€, nothing impossible.

Canada used to be free. Now I doubt a woman could go in the mountains alone without getting stalked and raped by an Indian.
There was a video going around with a hippy white Canada guy screaming because he saw Indians in the park. He said he went there to get away from the Indians swarming the city but now they're in his parks, too. Youtube posted it trying to shame him. Liberals have ruined his beautiful nation!! Get them out of there!!

>>2834226
you realize that the beautiful part of the park is BEFORE Virginia Falls?
and that it's not a placid river u can just boat in it has rapids and gorges and rocks

>>2832338 (OP)
Why not just make all the islands in the north national parks?

>>2835283
It would probably make any future resource exploitation pretty difficult.

>>2835283
Most of them belong to the natives as part of Nunavut

What are a guy's chances of being able to hop on freight trains and hobo across Canada without being rousted out by the authoritahs or thrown off the moving train by some other psycho on board.

Not a national park, but is Montreal worth a 7 hour drive to visit this Thanksgiving?
