I was there Sunday Evening and the place was packed.
So packed... that they had to quit letting people in about 7:40 instead of 8:00 because there absolutely was no parking available.
From the entrance where the gate is... it's approximately 1-2 miles distance, and then you still have to walk another 3/4 mile or so to get to the viewing site.
It was so strange that there were actually people walking in from the Gates as they had a real long venture to go.
Amazingly enough, one Japanese tourist couple were taking an elderly down there from that Gate. I just couldn't believe my eyes thinking that this elderly that was getting assistance in just walking was going to hike that distance!
The view... spectacular! Will I go again... Definitely!

It is the way, the way it is
