Not everyone appreciates the natural majesty of America’s national parks. Just ask illustrator Amber Share, who has created an entire series of fake travel posters inspired by ridiculously cranky one-star reviews of such scenic locals as Arizona’s Grand Canyon, Maine’s Acadia, and Yellowstone in Wyoming and Montana.

Titled “Subpar Parks,” the humorous artworks were inspired by a Reddit post sharing one-star Yelp reviews of National Parks. The complaints about these national treasures were so laughably unbelievable that Share decided to illustrate the best (worst?) of them.

“I love the outdoors, and I also love some good snark,” Share wrote on Instagram as she launched the project, noting that “apparently even mother nature is subject to the wrath of the internet.”

...

Nice artwork.

Some of those are priceless, and I have met people who might have authored those reviews.

Re Yellowstone: Save yourself some money, boil some water at home.

Re the North Cascades: Too many mountains...

Re the Petrified Forest: Basically a desert with some dead trees.

Re Arches National Park: Looks nothing like the license plate.


Makes me curious to take another look at one star reviews.
