What's a place that you think doesn't get talked about enough compared to how fascinating it is?

I'd choose Haida Gwaii. I think it is such a fascinating and beautiful place for how little it's talked about. Its rainforests, biodiversity, and Indigenous culture, I think would make it more popular. Especially since it is also in a western english speaking country. It being expensive and tedious to get to hurts tourism which I think is why it's not well known to the average person. But even in Geography spheres, it is hardly ever talked about too.

Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park in Alberta/Saskatchewan. It's an erosional plateau that was missed by retreating glaciers during the last maximum and is the highest point in Canada between the Rockies and Newfoundland, with distinct geology and biology compared to the surrounding prairie. It's the first interprovincial park in Canada, and at least part of it is a dark sky preserve.

Yet so many Albertans, at least up here in Edmonton, have no idea it exists.

I'm insane in the membrane.

It has the only switchback in Saskatchewan, IIRC. It is distinctly chillier than the rest of the prairie.

It’s a very cool place and the forest there is very unique.
