Nice pictures. We went before camping there last year. And by camping I mean sleeping in the car because there was torrential rain and we were missing a piece of our tent.
Anyway. We went in mid-April, during the week, and it was pretty busy. Many of the campsites were taken and our hike up the rock had a small trickle of people going up. Until several bus loads of school groups showed up and then it was masses of Bling flip flop kids.
There was no snack stand so that might have been a spring break thing.

It all looks beautiful….except for the hotdog stand, streams of tourists, shaking chihuahuas and **Bling** flip-flop girls. Ugh!! I SOOOO hope the ranger was being honest when he said it isn’t usually like that. The beauty won’t last for long with all that traffic. I guess it’s about time to find a new destination. 8^(
