Bumpy,
We had a different experience, we went over to the car to talk with the older woman there and were able to buy all our Christmas gifts.
The people/locals/owners of the land the National Monument sits on, will often sit in the parking lot selling their artwork and jewelry. While we were there not only were we able to Buy, and at great prices, great items we actually had a few pieces made while we were driving around the Monument.
Sorry to hear you did not have a good experience, as we have never had anything but Good Memories of the visit, as I think it is just a special place.
JMHO,
