It absolutely is, and the off-season is the time to go. I just don’t have patience for the summer tourist season. It takes twice as long to get anywhere, I feel self-conscious about taking too much time somewhere, and the awesome views are polluted by people milling about, asking for photos, or kids whining (I get it, I have kids).
The same goes for most popular parks. I’m in Utah, and I avoid Zion and Arches in the peak season, but both parks rock in the off-season. During tourist season, I go to the less popular parks.
Ok, but Yellowstone is rad as hell. I just visit in the off season.
