Itinerary description

This could be one of the most overrated travel routes in North America, not that it doesn't have beautiful scenery but the crowds are overwhelming and driving can be downright unsafe. Moreover government charges $35.00 to drive through this publicly owned park, they actually had the nerve to ask for a park donation after purchasing a pass and items from the gift shop. There are many other travel alternatives to this bumper to bumper ride through an overpriced park.
