I’ll leave it to Anne to tell about our visit to Bryce and Zion National Parks. I was disappointed but not surprised by the experience at Zion. We visited in 1999 and I remember it as being by far the most crowded place we went. Looking at the numbers, visits have increased by over 50% since then. Zion Canyon is very small, with only one way in or out so the fundamental problem—too many people in too little space—can only be solved by severely limiting the number of people allowed in. And of course there’s no constituency for that. I plan to make my own little contribution to relieving overcrowding by never returning, unless it’s on a cold winter’s day sometime.
