When does Isle au Haut make more sense than a Mount Desert Island day at Acadia?
Isle au Haut fits when you can give it the 10:00 a.m. mailboat and the 4:30 p.m. Duck Harbor return: about five hours ashore, $48 round trip.

When should I choose one region over several headline stops?
From Moab, Arches' Devils Garden is 40 to 45 minutes and Island in the Sky about 40; a Utah loop's Bryce-to-Capitol Reef leg alone is three hours.

Would Congaree suit a boardwalk-and-floodplain day better than a high-mileage hiking weekend?
Congaree is free and its Boardwalk Loop is 2.6 accessible miles; the floodplain floods about ten times a year, so read the gage before adding trail miles.

Would Great Basin suit a stargazing-and-caves weekend better than a crowded desert-park circuit?
Great Basin charges no entrance fee and opens 24 hours; the only fixed item is a Lehman Caves ticket, $15 for 90 minutes, on sale 30 days ahead.
