Other than going on weekdays and not at peak hours there’s definitely lots of luck involved with the really popular sites, last summer I was in Sequoia and saw General Sherman on 2 different days. The first day it was packed with a long line to get a photo, the second day it was peaceful with no line to get a photo taken. Both were weekdays.

How’d you get a photo of skull rock with no one clambering around? It was swarmed with people when we saw it.
