[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think the people going "hey, why is the place I want to visit so crowded".  Well, uh, you're there too.  You can't fault others for having the exact same idea you did.

National Parks are supposed to be a shared resource so they're going to try to accommodate as many people as possible.  They're not supposed to be exclusive.

If you do research you can find some quieter spots or off times, it just takes work.[/quote]

It sucks that they are so crowded but I cannot get on board with this reservation system. It takes the accessibility of our NP away. I get they want to control crowds, but come on. Everyone should be able to access these lands.

And all you have to do is hike to escape crowds[/b]. Most people never set much more than a few feet away from their car at national parks. [/quote]

This is true.  I was in Acadia and I hiked Mt. Cadillac.  It was packed at the top (where you can drive up) but the actual hike was pretty quiet.  We did the Precipice Trail instead of the Bee Hive and it was significantly quieter.[/quote]

It's not nearly as crowded these days with the timed entry during peak season. It's actually possible to find a parking spot now without circling 10x.
