The tremendous crowding of NPs have occurred a lot in the last 25 years.
I can remember being in Yosemite in the 1970s and it was quiet, we did not need a permit to climb Half Dome.
I used to go to Yellowstone at least every 2 years or so. There were no reservations needed. We used to swim in the Firehole River. By Sept there was hardly anyone there.
Now I avoid NPs except in the off season.
