Almost any well known "tourist town", famous park or recreation area in the USA that is within 2-3 hours driving time from a large metro area is a candidate for over-crowding. Here in Arizona, Sedona is a place to avoid on weekends due to huge number of visitors from nearby Phoenix, especially during the fall or spring with mild temperatures.
It's like what Yogi Berra said, nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded!
I have been in Sedona in both fall and spring with nice temps. I agree it was very busy, but tolerable.
I’m wondering about places that are true madhouses.
Asheville, NC. Every time I've been it's been very crowded with bad traffic. No it isn't LA traffic by any means, but considering you're supposed to be in this scenic mountain area, it's more than enough to keep me away.
Made the mistake of traveling through Gatlinburg, Sevierville, Piegeon Forge and the Smokies between Christmas and New Years. Horrible mistake. Gridlocked roads
I don't get this at all.
I'm in Asheville two or three times a month most months, though it is mostly on weekends. I-26W coming from Hendersonville can be bad. There can be occasional hang-ups around Biltmore. Beyond that, it is fairly smooth sailing.
I lived in Indianapolis for three years and Asheville's traffic is laughable compared to a weekday on 465. Asheville's traffic is nowhere nearly as bad at the whole Gatlinburg to Sevierville debacle, especially at the holidays.
The entire state of Florida? Newsflash, north Florida is kind of cold during winter. I lived by the beaches in the Jacksonville area and it was not crowded at all in the winter. The water was not warm enough, the pools were not warm enough, and it got to be pretty cool. They didn’t charge for parking until it got to be about May in the more popular areas, when you could actually go in the water.
