Freimund W, Mccool SF, Adams JC. 2006. Recreational Use of Selected Viewpoints on Going-to-the-Sun Road, 2005, Glacier National Park. University of Montana, Department of Society and Conservation. Missoula, Montana

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.
