I visited in 2021 and it felt drastically touristy. The scenery is truly gorgeous but it was like nature Disneyland with all the Jeeps driving around and packed parking lots around hikes. I enjoyed it but definitely don’t find myself wanting to go back. There’s plenty of other equally beautiful spots in the southwest that feel less like a tourist trap
