Spring 2021 INSIDE GLACIER NEWS FOR FRIENDS OF GLACIER
Examining Visitor Use Trends in
Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park has seen a 40% growth in visitation since 2012. This
unprecedented increase in popularity has implications for protecting natural
and cultural resources, as well as for providing a quality visitor experience.
Thanks in part to your generous donations, social scientists from the University of Montana’s College of Forestry
have been helping park managers understand visitor use patterns and trends in Glacier National Park over the
past decade. The data was recently compiled into a Story Map to help show where, when and how many people
are hiking on the trails throughout the park. This allows managers to know if there are any shifts in hiker patterns
on trails, and to help them make science-based decisions on protecting the trails for a range of opportunities:
from very popular areas with many people and amenities, to areas where visitors can experience more solitude.
Managing for this range of opportunities also ensures a quality visitor experience and protection of resources. To
learn more about this project, we caught up with UM’s College of Forestry PhD candidate, Jaclyn Rushing.
