Tons of remote territory in the Rockies. I’d say 80-90% of the shots you see are of the same 4-5 main lookouts in Banff and sometimes Jasper.

If you are willing to hike or bike, and have a vehicle to get to more remote start points, you get some amazing views. Lots of well maintained trails that tourists don’t really hit.

I hiked Picklejar lakes last summer and it was amazing!! Hardly anyone out and gorgeous views.

I had good experiences there, but I came there already knowing someone and quickly made friends. It’s definitely not Maui in terms of catering to tourism. I had some uncomfortable moments. The people I knew who were employed… a plumeria farm owner who supplied leis to hotels on Maui, a tower maintenance dude who climbed those massively tall towers, a construction worker, a pastor, someone who worked at the airport. Many were on the government dole. There really isn’t any industry there that I recall. Back then Maunaloa was still open for business though, some hotels were open. Sounds like they closed.

Most of the people I knew have moved to Oahu.

I dated a guy who lived on Molokai. Fond memories of taking his Suzuki Samurai to Halawa and sneaking to the waterfalls there. Won’t ever forget those fire ants.

Also, the bread dude! We’d go to that bakery in Kaunakakai late at night and bang on the back door for the hot bread.

What a lovely place. I spent a few months there but I haven’t been there since the 90s.
