See "off the beaten track" tourist attractions in the afternoon. Many park visitors go to the most popular sites and absolutely nothing more, so anticipate these to be crowded as increasingly more visitors show up in the park.

It is always an excellent idea to visit the visitor center for more information about the park prior to you begin your adventures.
