I’d guess because the cost of living is insane and there are like 6 businesses, all of which pay close to minimum wage. It’s also insanely over populated in the summer, filled with obnoxious gaper tourists who can’t drive, park, or even just be a courteous human being.

I was a ranger there last summer. Go prepared for large crowds and next to impossible trailhead parking scenarios. You'll need a pass not just to enter the park, but also one for Going to the Sun Road because visitation has gone through the roof and that road was never built with that amount of traffic in mind. Luckily, though, if you don't get a pass and don't want to deal with the trailhead parking issues, you can take the free public shuttle. It's pretty convenient and even though I lived inside the park, I'd use it to get to trailheads on my days off.

Also consider camping or staying on the east side of the park. Much quieter!
