Length <strong>of</strong> Visit<br />

Day use accounted for more than a fourth <strong>of</strong> total <strong>Park</strong> visitation, according to visitors<br />

taking the survey (Table 21, Figure 18). The median length <strong>of</strong> stay for <strong>Park</strong> visitors was<br />

3 nights, and 70 % <strong>of</strong> visitors responding to the survey reported stays <strong>of</strong> 2 nights or less.<br />

Length <strong>of</strong> stay across both seasons was fairly constant. Stay length for visitors<br />

participating in the spring survey was slightly shorter.<br />
