Recreational use of 13 selected viewpoints along the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park was investigated during the period June 29 - August 30, 2005. Viewpoints were systematically randomly sampled in two hour blocks and all visitors stopping during these periods were observed, while a subset were interviewed. Variables measured include length of stay, group size, residence, activity participation, reason for stopping, and potential use of a proposed shuttle bus. The report summarizes findings for each of these variables.
