It was quite neat to see how all of the noise from the city just faded away as you went deeper into the park. At that point we had not realized how much noise there was until it disappeared.

We toured around in a narrated double decker tour bus. The top deck was open air and it allowed us to see tons. It also let us get totally soaked one day when it just poured down with rain. The tour bus had a limited number of throw away rain slickers so we all tried to share one. The result was we all got wet!!.
