Fort Union National Monument hosted 10,638 recreation visits in 2010 (Table 1). Adjustments for visitor group size and re-entries resulted in 4,359 visitor group trips to the park in 2010 (Table 3). Based on a 2010 Visitor Services Project survey conducted July 1-23, 48% of these visitor group trips were local residents or non-locals on day trips not including an overnight stay within 50 miles of the park.1 Thirty-six percent of the visitor group trips involved an overnight stay in motels, lodges or cabins outside the park, and 7% of visitor group trips included overnight stays in campgrounds outside the park.
