I've seen a lot of tall trees in Redwood, but Hyperion is protected from visitors
Seen General Sherman in Sequoia ... Largest tree by mass

If they have one:
Auto tours
Park Videos
Campfire programs (just learned so much about Wildfires from NPS Ranger Ian at Redwood last week!)
Small hikes on accessible trails
Boat tours
The rangers!

One that doesn't get very many visitors in comparison to the other parks of its type, and thus less funding. Gates of the Arctic, large in size, but small in visitors.

I know the exact coordinates for the bunker scenes in Smith River (it's now houses). I've visited the speeder bike locale in Chatham Grove at Grizzly Creek Redwoods SP, and I've definitely been to Stout Grove at Redwood NP.

There is an earthquake in the 1700s that we only know about from indigenous oral tradition and geologic evidence. It was so large, an entire village was swept away of a cliff. Same EQ, Japan has record of an unusual tsunami.

That in November 1941, 6? counties of Northern California and Southern Oregon seceded on Thursdays only and formed the State of Jefferson due to how bad the roads were in their counties—feeling neglected by their State Legislatures

I solo camp a lot, so I don't necessarily make lifelong friends ... I'm always holding myself aloof for safety reasons. I do remember two rangers (Ranger Tom Gunther and Ranger Jenn from Redwood) But it was strictly professional interactions.

Driving through Yellowstone. My dad only stopped for us to spend the night in a motel during a horrific thunderstorm. Nobody got any sleep that night. We saw the fluffy cows at least.

I played it to test it out. Then I found from the signup I did at the company site they also have solo rules and expansion cards to print and cut for it. I haven't played the solo version yet. I really enjoyed the regular version. Highly recommend.

Jedediah Smith Campground in Redwoid
Especially in the afternoon when everyone is exploring the river and the nearby famous groves, it's just you, the birds, and the chipmunks
Mill Creek in Redwoods
Prairie Creek in Redwoods
Reason: far enough away from high pop centers

Due to knee issues, it's usually on paved park roads ...lol
Pinnacles - inside the San Andreas Fault to take pictures of the backside of the pinnacles
Redwood ... Jed Smith nature trail (the large Redwoods and the smell)
Grant Grove at Kings. The tunnel tree

Starting with Redwood a week from Sunday, then Lassen, Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia.
