I have mentioned the crowded parking lot at the Montezuma Castle National Monument.
There is a nice paved access road down into the narrow canyon where the ruins are and the parking lot is also paved and well laid out but there were so many visitors that all the spaces were filled and there was a resulting traffic jam--not exactly expected out here in the empty desert!
And the cars were from everywhere! We saw license plates from Arizona and California, of course--and also from Texas, New Mexico, New York and Florida--even Canada.
We found a parking place though with not such a very long wait and also found a welcome empty picnic table in the shade of some big cottonwood trees for our lunch--yogurt, bananas, oranges and some good bread. Drinking water was available free at the park.
