Unfortunately, over-crowding at our National Parks has become a way of life these days. Yosemite and Arches, among others, restrict entry because there is simply not enough parking to accommodate people. Zion limits the number of people that can climb the iconic Angel’s Landing hike. Try photographing Delicate Arch without having somebody standing beneath or around it. Rocky Mountain and Glacier have timed tickets to gate the number of cars driving Trail Ridge and Going-to-the-Sun roads. And all the parks require reservations for most camping opportunities. I don’t begrudge people their opportunity to visit thee stunning places but we’re loving them to death.
