5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

The place gets crazy crowded in the afternoon. Best to get there in the morning. Especially the big waterfall had a massive queue in the afternoon but none at all in the morning.

5/5 - Excellent

Very close to Entrance 2.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Crowded and impossible to walk along narrow walkways without being bumped.  Long lines to take ferries across lakes.  Can’t imagine what the summer months are like!  Go in early spring late fall.  The park must be stunning and pristine at that time.

5/5 - Excellent
