Suggested to my wife going to Yellowstone once more in this life and she reminded me of the lines of people&cars everywhere.

Same with Yosemite, not been to the valley floor in 50 years. Endless line of RVs from what I saw way up above.

Run a road around the park, with streetwise parking the whole way.
Remove the interior park roads.
You want in, you walk.

Thailand encourages tourism, as it’s a big part of their economy. They have been playing to the Chinese low-budget tourists lately, to the tune of about 9 million a year at present. Hour+ long lines at immigration, thousands of tour buses, complete mayhem at all-you-can-eat buffets and etc. They walk around like cattle, shout at each other and even let their kids crap on the sidewalks.

Every place that makes its money off tourism hates tourists with a vicious passion. Funny that.

This is sad. Going off season is excellent advice. Or finding less crowed parks. Last summer I visited several CA parks, being there for unrelated reasons. Yosemite, is that a shopping center. Sequoia wasn't much better. But Kings Canyon not too bad. Redwoods, we stayed at a state park south of there, was fine. I could name a couple others that were ok for camping/hiking. But the big name parks, and the big name sights in them, it's not working. Need some new ideas. Probably shouldn't talk about Yosemite since I didn't see much of it. But if you're going to have trams anyway, and there's plenty of acreage there, why not move the campgrounds and non historic hotels out of the valley. Plenty of room for campgrounds and hotels out of the valley. Get the cars out if it's going to be a tram site.

The idiot park service promoted more tourism there...at great cost to taxpayers. What did they expect?
