The park is large and beautiful. We came on a day right after a heavy snowfall (well, heavy for us Californians) so the entire park was covered in a clean white layer. Maybe it was the day, but I never really felt like we were surrounded by tourists. I suppose in the summer it would be a bit more full of point-and-snaps, but the park is large enough I can't imagine that being a major issue. Come on people, stop being such hipster elitists. The park is great and seems well maintained (again, I can't account for any grass).
