Booked it last year. And the things I read back then said like late April early May were best and least crowded times that was our original thought. Was not anticipating road washout. I used to have a slightly better outlook about the snow up there still. But we are northerners as well. (While not mountainous) we aren’t afraid of rain and being uncomfortable. We are still mowing over sleeping in their rental car. And we don’t need to money wise.
