Thank you to the GTNP Foundation for the work you do to improve GTNP. It's good that rich people buck up and donate to the Park. It's too bad the Jenny Lake Renovation did not include a much larger parking lot or shuttle busses to the area to solve the problem of no places to park after about 10:00 am everday during full season. The NPS keeps letting people in the gates knowing damn good and well there is no where for people to park, so people park along the Park Road.
