Crowding at the park has been an ongoing issue long before the pandemic. There were 4.67 million visitors to the park in 2019, up 58% from 2.95 million in 2010. 

When the pandemic hit, along with wildfires, Rocky Mountain National Park ramped up its crowd control efforts, resulting in 31% fewer visits from 2019 through November, according to the most recent statistics cited by the Associated Press. 

The park may reconsider timed entry in the future, the Post added. Officials with Rocky Mountain National Park added that officials will consider public opinion if there are ever plans to institute a permanent reservation system.
