This photo was taken from inside the car with Aranka and George during our recent Road Trip in Nevada, Utah and Arizona. We didn’t attempt to get a reservation for the shuttle bus as none of us felt like joining crowds of people in a confined space, so we took a drive on the main road through the park and back. The scenery was beautiful, but the crowds and traffic not. I imagine after the pandemic lockdown more people were (and are) out and about, visiting all the sites, than in year’s past. Perhaps another visit in future, off-season, will be in order. ~SueBee

It is going to take some time to things to settle down to something like normality.
I think you’re correct.
