Hilarious posters advertise national parks with verbiage from bad reviews; pre-order the book coming out July 13

Less-than-glowing reviews of Grand Canyon and Isle Royale national parks (Amber Share posters)

Visitors hit state and national parks in record numbers during the pandemic, many of them first-timers who simply wanted to get out of the house. One wonders whether any of them left the negative Yelp reviews for the parks featured in a series of satirical posters.

More terrible reviews, for Sequoia & Kings Canyon and Crater Lake national parks
Artist Amber Share created the project, called Subpar Parks, after reading a slew of terrible reviews from unimpressed visitors such as one for Yellowstone National Park that said "Save yourself some money, boil some water at home."

The project has one poster for each national park, and it's a real treat to read. You can purchase prints on Share's website, or pre-order the book coming out on July 13.
