Ranger Scott Gediman told CBS News’ Megan Goldsby that reservations are to prevent overcrowding.
“We saw long lines at entrance stations, sometimes three to four hours long,” he said. “There were traffic jams, people couldn't find parking spaces, crowded hiking trails. So people just weren't getting the experience that we would like them to.”
