At the time, summer visitation was so heavy that daytime visits were by timed entrance. Today there was this notification

No timed entrance this summer. Is it because the administration policies are such that tourists aren't coming as much? I think we already knew that. Or because they've cut back on NPS staff so much that they don't have spare people to mind the entrance?
