They have a reservation system now so hopefully that helps out with the overcrowding. I’m also hopeful the timed entry reservations help out at Mt.Rainier this year. Some people might not like it…but it definitely will help with so many people packing into parks.
It’s necessary after the huge crowds of people that showed up at rainier last summer to check out the Perseids meteor shower. Tons of people trampled the fields. Straight up disrespectful to the park.
We stayed three nights in Moab for a similar SW road trip a couple years ago and it was incredible. Arches national park can get packed, but one night we beat the crowds by heading up there after dark and hiking around with the full moon. That was really cool.
Ended April with a chilly 52/42 day here. Moderate rain through the early afternoon then sunbreaks and scattered showers later on. Ended up with just shy of 2” precip for the month.
Looks like a +1.6 departure from normal for PDX on the month, about an inch below normal for precip. +1.2 departure for VUO and almost an inch below normal for precip as well.
