Definitely one of the most underrated National Parks. There is not a lot of tourist infrastructure, but my goodness, it is wild, scenic, and alive.

Ruby Beach is beautiful, rugged, and powerful.
This is a photo of a MARTA train and a CSX Freight train running parallel at Hulsey Yard just east…
I always imagined the Okefenokee Swamp to be mostly dark, green, cypress forest. It’s not. It’s mostly open “prairie” covered in a couple feet of water. It’s beautiful, haunting, and full of life. But the lack of trees really gives a sense of how big the place is.
Roses in the neighborhood are the absolute best. Kudos to anyone who plants them along the sidewalk, just far enough to prevent thorns interactions, but close enough to appreciate the color and varietal.
Muscadines are highly underrated. They are really the only native grape to North America. I love that they grow so well in The South. They grow freely and everywhere in the forest, but they’re also cultivated like on this farm in middle Georgia.
