Large national park visitor center, as usual with natural history exhibits on the features of the park, local wildlife, and history of human development in the area. Excellent information on hiking trails, maps, permits and reservation. Stop by for a free video, introduction to the park, ranger info for hiking, weather, water, bathrooms, free public WiFi.

Hiking

Like all visitors centers in the American national parks, it is always worth stopping there for a visit to learn a little more. There are always informative expositions and videos that are worthwhile.
