"The park is very busy between March and October. Parking lots at trailheads often fill before 7:30 am, causing the park to temporarily restrict access until congestion lessens. Periods of restricted access can last 3-5 hours. To avoid traffic, we recommend entering the park before 8 am or after 3 pm."
