Ever notice how some folks will drive three hours just to see a tree… but won’t buy land next to one of the most beautiful natural areas in the country?
This map shows how close each U.S. county is to a national park. Kind of wild when you realize most people live within a few hours of one, and never go.
Here’s the real kicker: land near national parks often holds value better than land in the middle of nowhere. Why? Because you can’t build more Yosemite. Scarcity matters.
