isPermaLink="false">http://amateurtraveler.com/?p=2049#comment-142618</guid> <description>Boy, someone should lose their job over putting Cuyahoga in a top-10 list of National Parks - most park aficionados don&#039;t believe it&#039;s even worthy of the name, let alone inclusion above such parks as Denali, Mt Rainier, or the Everglades.I understand that they were ranking by visitation, but that only makes the list even worse, as popularity usually speaks more to location than &quot;must-see&quot; status (which was their title; I didn&#039;t notice anything to lead a reader to believe they were actually ranking on popularity). If you look at just the numbers, then you&#039;ll find that only 1 national &quot;park&quot; is the top ten list of most visited &quot;national park units;&quot; and frankly, many of those are simply driving through the park on the highway and won&#039;t even stop their vehicle inside the park boundaries.#6 is annoying as well, as there is no national park named Colorado Rockies. If you&#039;re listing national parks, list the actual name as you did the rest of the items.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Boy, someone should lose their job over putting Cuyahoga in a top-10 list of National Parks &#8211; most park aficionados don&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s even worthy of the name, let alone inclusion above such parks as Denali, Mt Rainier, or the Everglades.</p><p>I understand that they were ranking by visitation, but that only makes the list even worse, as popularity usually speaks more to location than &#8220;must-see&#8221; status (which was their title; I didn&#8217;t notice anything to lead a reader to believe they were actually ranking on popularity).
