Hey this is Chris, I'm traveling this week and so there won't be a new episode of Amateur Traveler,

but I would like to bring you one of these episodes from our archives, which I think you will enjoy.

I got my bags packed and on roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 480. Today the Amateur Traveler looks at the best of the best, the

greatest of the greatest, the National Park Hall of Fame in the United States as we look at all the US UNS go World Heritage

sites.

I know that I should be heading home but maybe not maybe not so the day. Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Let's talk about

US-UN-Sco World Heritage Sites. I'd like to welcome back to the show Gary Art from Everything

Dash Everywhere.com and now from the new podcast The Global Travel

Conspiracy. Gary welcome back to the show.

Thank you.

This is almost my second home.

And I have been on Gary's show too,

if you're interested, he's in episode four or five so far so just

I just had an episode six come out last well then I'm apparently behind what have you

come to talk to us about today we are going to talk about the UNESCO World Heritage

sites in the United States of America. Now I think we talk about UNESCO

quite a lot on the show but this seems like a really good opportunity to say what is a

UN ESCO World Heritage site? The way I normally describe it to people is that it's

like the Hall of Fame of National Parks, okay. Or of historical places.

Like it's the best of the best.
