Everglades National Park is home to the world's most dangerous tree. It’s called the manchineel.
The tree’s sap is toxic, and it's present in every part of the tree. Touching the tree or eating it’s fruit will cause blistering and in extreme cases death. Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon is rumored to have been killed by an arrow from a native that was covered in the trees sap.

    Black canyon of the Gunnison is the most underrated national park in my opinion. You cant really hike it unfortunately, only drive through to different small walks to lookouts, but that means you can easily see the whole thing in an afternoon.

    Interesting info, and you tell it well. One suggestion I would offer - could you pause longer and maybe say which park you are talking about next when you switch between them? Some parts were hard to follow. Looking forward to the next one!

    When you go make sure that you check out Lehman Caves as well. Part of the same park. Bristlecone pines are there as well.

    I think that I'm more concerned about Burmese Pythons than I am about a tree. At least a tree isn't going to chase me down and squeeze me to death. They also aren't going to migrate into my neighborhood and hide under a bush waiting to eat a dog or child.

    I'm not afraid of the tree nor the python. Unfortunately the pythons have become such a Scourge to the local wildlife. One was caught recently at 200lb and 18 ft in length. As far as the tree we used to call them Beach Apples and see them quite frequently on Cape Sable on many fishing trips out flamingo in Everglades National Park.

    Evidently I don't understand how altitude gain is measured during the Smoky Mountain race It seems like an 18,000 foot gain would be pretty tricky on mountains that don't exceed 6 or 7,000 feet above sea-level.

    Definition on wiki - In cycling, hiking, mountaineering and running, cumulative elevation gain refers to the sum of every gain in elevation throughout an entire trip. Basically every time you go down yo have to go back up and it adds up.

    Haha what a quote from Roosevelt, just a way to keep curious minds out. We should hate the fact that we know so little about said Grand Canyon. The very same canyon many explorers and indigenous peoples over the years have supposedly witnessed even greater wonders within the canyons walls… the very same caves the military has boarded up :)

    @@GeographyGeek That is how everything works in mcmurica. I assume the national parks also have wide spread racism, inbred religious extremism, gun stores, war crimes for oil, and little Trump-monsters running around grabbing people by the pussy. Do you build walls around your national parks to keep native fauna out?
