>>1401283I remember I was up at Sequoia National Park and Sequoia National Monument both over the summer. The national park was goddamn flooded with people--foreigners and domestic tourists alike. Going through the main visitor centers was a crowded mess. My gf and I had to go out a bit deep onto the trails to get any sort of solace from the tourist rush, and even then we kept running into this American broski type who was quite obviously was trying to get into the pants of these two French girls he was hiking with.
The national monument in comparison was dead quiet. No crowds and pure solitude. We only ran into two other groups during our short time there--a large family from the midwest that had brought their grandmother complete with wheelchair set, and a pair of Finns who kept to themselves and chittered between each other in that queer language of theirs.
