The United States is a massive country, containing vast plots of desert, mountains, forest, marshland, and more. But there aren’t a ton of wild places anymore, with even the most remote sites visited by logging operations, hunting operations, or some other industry.
Alaska has plenty of near-untouched regions, but the land is much more built up everywhere else in the country. YouTuber Topo Traveler took a look at the most remote locations in the lower 48, the places where humans hardly touch.
Topo Traveler’s list is as follows:
