I don't think there's much danger of that place becoming too overcrowded. It's simply too inconvenient for most people. It's not close to anything else...which might save it from the "wilderness brothel" that Grand Canyon has become...

There is quite a bit of air pollution that comes in from the south from Mexico. A few years ago, Mexico was trying to make a deal with the US to pay for cleaning up their coal plants...sort of environmental blackmail  .

Interesting. I hope the U.S. told them to wipe their own #*$!!!!!!
I went to the National Park website and there's a webcam that shows the current air quality/visibility. Check it out:
