Quote:I have no idea if this topic 'lives' in the lurker lounge community, but I decided to ask anyway.National parks are communism. Land belongs to those who put it to productive use - why must we punish productivity and cripple our economy by creating parks with government muscle?

Quote:What do you find the greatest park? Any holiday advice?Well, in Canada, we have about a bazillion gorgeous, glorious parks that are the envy of the world. I find Jasper particularly nice. Also, while not technically a park, a trip up north to the Yukon during the summer is surprisingly beautiful.
However, the most impressive park I've ever been to wasn't in Canada - it was the Iguazu (Iguaçu) National Park(s) at the border between Argentina and Brazil. The waterfalls there are just out of this world, and for the history-minded, the Guarani/Jesuit Missions are among the most fascinating and unique communities ever to exist. A remarkable place - although I must say I've never been down to Ushuaia, although I walk by advertisements for tours down there all the time these days. Maybe I should make the trip.
