Statistics have been reported now for Grand Teton National Park’s visitation during December and for 2018 overall, indicating the year was the busiest year on record. According to the National Park Service Visitor Use Statistics Office, recreational visitation to Grand Teton during the last month of the year dipped by just under 6% with 48,800 passing through the gates. Added to the 11 previous months, the total visitation for 2018 was 3,491,150 people which represents a 5.3% increase over the previous year. Adding in those who were entering the park for business or just passing through, a total of 5,109,024 were counted in the park during the year which in turn was a 2.8% increase from 2017. In making the December report, park officials point out that the north entrance counter is not working and statisticians used a 5-year average for the month to factor into the that report.
