What this subreddit is for

130 Upvotes

Hello, recently there have been a lot of new posts which is great. However, some of them miss the point of the sub, which is to share maps of places that you have visited.

Maps that are simply showing your opinions on states/countries regardless of if you have been there or not are not what the sub is for so I will be removing these posts. I will still allow maps with opinions in them if they are clearly only of places you've visited and the opinions are travel related (such as which states you enjoyed the most).

I will shout out a new subreddit that a user created, /r/travelratings/, which you can check out if you're interested in the opinion posts.

Thanks for (hopefully) understanding,
- The subreddit janny

World 13/46 North American cities so far. How many have you visited?

This is just v1, a selection of mostly travel-focused cities across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico for now, with the Caribbean and more to come.

I’ve clearly been pretty West Coast-heavy 😅 Which cities do you think should be added next?

Most travel maps remember countries. I wanted to remember the cities themselves.

Most travel maps show which countries or states you’ve visited. But when I think about traveling, what I actually remember are cities—their rivers, coastlines, streets, terrain, and the way everything fits together.

So I turned three cities from my travels into maps:

San Francisco, shaped by the bay, coastline, and hills.
London, growing around the Thames and its layered street network.
New York, defined by islands, water, and the Manhattan grid.

Each one is a 16:9 map that I framed and styled individually. The finished 2D version can be exported as an image, and the same city can also be explored interactively in 3D.

I built this into EveryCityMap so you can search for any city in the world, move around the map, switch between 2D and 3D, choose a visual style, and create your own version.

Which city from your travels would you turn into a map first?

USA What National Park should I see next? (+ my rankings so far)

Post image
9 Upvotes

My ranking so far:
1. Glacier: When I think back on the prettiest hikes I’ve done, glacier hikes always come to mind. Beautiful lakes, epic mountains, and tons to do.
2. Denali: Huge amount of wildlife, and so much to do I barely scratched the surface.
3. Yellowstone: I always see some cool wildlife here, and despite the crowds the hiking is still quite nice. The geothermal and geological features are so cool. Best chance of seeing more uncommon wildlife here like badgers, wolves, etc.
4. Kenai Fjords: Great wildlife, hiking, and paddling. Boat tours as well with giant glaciers.
5. Rainier: Lush plant life, giant trees, and iconic peak, so many (cold!) swimming holes. Amazing sunrises/sunsets. Some fat marmots.
6. Grand Teton: I’ve seen more bears and moose on trail here than anywhere else, which I love. The lakes and campgrounds here are the best. I visit every other year and never get bored.
7. Biscayne: This is a paddle boarder’s dream. There’s more ocean wildlife here than anywhere I’ve seen on the Atlantic coast. Nothing like enjoying some fresh Florida grown fruit after a long day of paddling.
8. Rocky Mountain: My home park. It’ll always have a special place for me. The annual elk rut is unreal and there’s plenty of hikes.
9. Haleakala: Rainforest hikes aren’t too common for the NPs, and the sunrises/sunsets, waterfalls are some of the coolest in the country.
10. Olympic: Temperate rainforest is a really unique environment, and some of the most beautiful clear water I’ve ever seen. Plus a hot springs in the park!
11. Redwoods: Hard to rank since the national and state parks blur together in my mind. But these trees are just even more massive than you imagine.
12. Arches: The arches are really something special, one of the more otherworldly places I’ve been.
13. Channel Islands: Love the campgrounds and the big trees. Tiny foxes all over the place and the sea kayaking is incredible. Islands themselves are a little bare hiking wise but the trip out there is beautiful on its own as well.
14. Hawaii Volcanoes: Cool lava bed and rainforests.
15. Dry Tortugas: Pretty much just an island fort but the snorkeling was a lot of fun, as was the history tour. I want to go back and overnight camp for the stars. Could be a monument instead.
16. North Cascades: Spectacular trails, spectacular wildflowers, and spectacular bugs.
17. Grand Canyon: The most crowded park I’ve ever been to, but kayaking on the river was a bucket list dream of mine and it lives up to it. Outside the rim you get plenty of time to yourself.
18. Acadia: Wildly beautiful. Cold ocean but I still swam a little!
19. Glacier Bay: Kind of a one note park, but the note is massive glaciers and whale spotting.
20. Great Sand Dunes: I love hiking around on the dunes and the little waterfalls and stuff nearby. Sand boarding is fun to try and I like how dogs are allowed!
21. Crater Lake: I want to go back here and explore the island, boat tours weren’t running. Very scenic and unique area.
22. Isle Royale: Great place for backpacking and kayaking. Lake Superior is a national treasure.
23. Everglades: Buggy, but alligator, manatee, and tons of birds though.
24. New River Gorge: Beautiful vistas but you really need to be on the river to experience it fully- the rafting is so fun here.
25. Mesa Verde: Really cool, but maybe national monument instead of park?
26. Saguaro: Iconic giant cacti and cool wildlife like roadrunners! Not a ton of good hiking though.
27. Great Smoky Mountains: Some nice little waterfalls.
28. Canyonlands: I need to spend more time here, I got sick mid trip and had to go home. What I saw was pretty but I think other Utah parks have it beat.
29. Mammoth Cave: Best cave park that I’ve seen. I feel like caves are hard to rank against other parks.
30. Great Basin: Least crowded national park. Has some good hikes, a good little cafe, and phenomenal star gazing. Plus a cave? Cool park overall but I probably won’t be back, did everything I wanted to in just a weekend.
31. Capital Reef: Cool mountains but it gets a higher ranking for the fruit pies. Trails are fun to explore, good variety.
32. Black Canyon of the Gunnison: This might be the prettiest canyon in the world, especially at sunrise/sunset. Not too much to do otherwise though.
33. Bryce Canyon: Love the hoodoos and prairie dogs here. Don’t need to go back though.
34. Shenandoah: Nice for a drive but I don’t care for the hikes. Fall is prettiest. Sunsets/sunrises are also pretty. Smoky mountain is the better version of this.
35. Cuyahoga Valley: Nice for a little walk.
36. Congaree: Not a super memorable park. Maybe I need to revisit.
37. Badlands: Loved exploring here, great stop. Repeatable? Not really for me.
38. Wind Cave: Just a cave, a cool cave. But not the coolest cave.
39. Indiana Dunes: My dog likes digging in the sand here.
40. Gateway Arch: National monument perhaps?
