GTNP Visitation Up

Grand Teton National Park is reporting visitation during the month of November increased slightly contributing to a year-to-date increase as well.  The National Parks Public Use Statistics Office has recorded an overall increase of 3% for the month with 3482 more people passing through the gates during the month than during November 2011.  Most of that increase came in non-recreational traffic as many of the park facilities and attractions were not available during the month.  Year-to-date, Grand Teton National Park has seen a 1.4% increase in visitation in 2012.  So far, monthly statistics for Yellowstone have not yet been posted.
