Visitor Use Monitoring for Glacier National Park: As the Going-to-the-Sun Road (GTSR) rehabilitation project nears completion, Glacier National Park (Glacier) must prepare for a transition to a potential adaptive visitor management system. Part of that transition will be to prepare a new backcountry and wilderness stewardship plan for the park and to work with the Flathead National Forest on developing a new Comprehensive Wild and Scenic River Management Plan. This project will assist the park management in preparing for both planning efforts. During FY16 University of Montana faculty and managers of Glacier National Park will develop a system of visitor use monitoring that will complement the monitoring that has occurred within the GTSR corridor since 2005.
