Peak baggers: Cars, capacity, and Cadillac

Jacobi C and Flesh R. 2016. Peak baggers: Cars, capacity, and Cadillac. National Park Service, Acadia National Park

From the abstract: "Cadillac Mountain is the number one visitor destination in Acadia National Park and a key issue in the ongoing Transportation Plan. From sunrise to sunset cars stream up to the summit on the motor road. Congestion and gridlock occur more frequently and rangers now close the road when traffic backs up. How many cars are too many cars? It's not an easy question to answer and it depends on the objective. We measured traffic to and from the summit from 2013 - 2016 and share the results here. The rest is up to you. Participate in the Transportation Planning process."
