U.S. National Park:


T he words “For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People” stretch across the north-
ern entrance of our nation’s first national park, Yellowstone.
According to the Department of Interior, the goal of the National Park Service is,
and has always been, to keep our wild places protected and unimpaired for future
generations. To that end, more than 400 areas and 84 million acres spanning all 50
states and several unincorporated territories of the United States, protect America’s
greatest natural treasures. With 61 of those wilderness areas toting National Park
designation, it can be tricky trying to pick which park to visit.
So, to help you determine which parks should be higher on your bucket list, we
ranked each park based on their overall accessibility, facilities and accommodations,
trails and attractions, crowds, and, of course, overall ‘wow’ factor, which we meas-
ured by photo ops and stunning scenery.
Keep in mind, it’s almost impossible to say that one is better than the next — there’s
truly something special about each one of our national parks.

Shenandoah National Park


VIRGINIA
Just a quick trip from the nation’s capital lies 196,000 acres of historic mountain
landscape. Shenandoah National Park is where most D.C. locals go for fall photo
ops and a breath of fresh air.
Enjoy breathtaking vistas of the Blue Mountains from 75 overlooks along the
105-mile scenic Skyline Drive, go fishing in one of 70 pristine mountain streams,
or take your pick of over 500 miles of hiking trails, including 101 miles of the
Appalachian Trail. Park highlights include Rapidan Camp, President Hoover’s
summer White House, Hawksbill Mountain (the highest point in the park), and
Dark Hollow Falls, a popular walk to a 70-foot waterfall.
You shouldn’t have to worry about finding a place to eat, sleep, or hang. To ac-
commodate 1.5 million annual visitors, there are two lodges, Skyland and Big
Meadows, furnished cabins, and four developed campgrounds as well as several
restaurants.

Surprising findings:
Hop over to the PNW: Pacific Northwest cities earned their spots at the top of our
ranking.
Spokane, Washington, took home the crown as our No. 1 Beer City and also placed
second in both Access and the prestigious World Beer Awards. With its close prox-
imity to inland wheat, barley, and the state’s hop fields, Spokane has all the ingredients
to craft a delicious brew.
Portland, Oregon, microbrewery capital of the world, came in close behind at No.
2 both overall and in Beer Quality. The locally dubbed “Beervana” boasts more than
70 breweries.
In Seattle (No. 4), coffee isn’t the only beverage that’s brewing. The Emerald City

placed first in Beer Quality. There are more than 60 breweries in the city, which hon-
ors its craft during the annual Seattle Beer Week.
Built on beer: Pre-Prohibition, Cincinnati was the “Beer Capital of the World.” It
continues to fight back for the title, ranking fifth both overall and in our Access metric
and placing 10th in Establishment Quality.
Beer is so integral to Cincinnati culture that it literally shaped the city’s architecture Strange Facts About the U.S.
— throughout the city you can find vast underground tunnels and cellars that were
built to store millions of gallons of beer.
Today, Cincy is home to Zinzinnati — the largest Oktoberfest celebration in the
U.S.
Sour cities: San Bernardino, California (No. 180), Columbus, Georgia (No. 179),
Kansas City, Kansas (No. 178), Plano, Texas (No. 177), and Laredo, Texas (No. 176)
scrape the bottom of the barrel when it comes to beer access, quality, and community
interest.
Compared with the rest of America’s major cities, there aren’t many opportunities
to try a quality ale here. At least Columbus and Kansas City have more affordable
options out of the bunch, landing in 35th and 37th places, respectively, in the Cost
metric.
All of these cities have populations below 300,000, so perhaps the microbrewery
movement is still beer-crawling its way to them.

partnership with the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy,

Rolls-Royce says it will use the ACCEL project technology, and also meas-

and apply it to commuter aircraft and electric vertical takeoff and landing
(eVTOL) products.
As Electrek‘s Scooter Doll wrote in early July:

keen focus on aircraft and [has] a road map to create
net zero emissions in operations by 2030, followed by
all products by 2050… Rolls-Royce Holdings remains
one of the largest manufacturers of airplane engines
in the world.
UK business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said:

and unlock the cleaner, greener aircraft required to

Rolls-Royce and airframer Tecnam are currently
working with Widerøe, the largest regional airline in
Scandinavia, to deliver an all-electric passenger air-
craft for the commuter market, which is planned to be
ready for revenue service in 2026.
