i've thought that it's related to the common usage of possessives (like Trackrunner's place, or let's go to trackrunner's) which somehow strangely get applied to names we don't usually apply possessives to.
for example, i know a few people who say ... "let's go to Costco's"
regardless, it's odd and should be made fun of immediately upon use

I usually go to Arch National Park in Moabs, but I've been wanting to visit Bryce's Canyon this year too.

I loaded up a bunch of pages in different tabs, and didn't know which topic this one was. I read Arch National Park, and was surprised at the gaffe, but then saw Moabs and Bryce's. Aha, the Zion's discussion! Nice!!!

Perhaps not so egregious is referring to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park as the Smokies. Either way, happy 75th anniversary.
