The Explorer is earned by visiting all of the major natural points of interest. This does not include large areas like mountains, swamps or other large landforms, rather it includes many of the most significant viewpoints and geologic anomolies located in the park. Completion of the Explorer means a Harrimaniacs has seen nearly all of the major natural points of interest Harriman has to offer.
