Having worked for the nps there, I would say it's super overrated. It's in the top 5 of most visited, super overcrowded, and there are much cooler parks out there. It's still incredible, but it's definitely a known thing.

I was lucky and went to all the great parks in the late 90's before everything was so popular. We went to Toroweep, and were the only people there. I think there were less than 5 cars at Zion. We did Angel's Landing and were the only people on the trail in late April. Bryce Canyon too, one camper ahead of us, and no one else. I'm glad I got to see all these places before they got crowded, because I wouldn't go now.
