We stopped at the Visitor Center and watched their 18 minute orientation film, got my National Park stamp, picked up their brochure and park guide map. We drove the 10-mile scenic drive and did some hiking, and got caught in the rain. The rain quit for a bit and then came down hard so we decided to head back home.
