Final Report – October 2001<br />

Plans to Return to the <strong>Park</strong><br />

The number <strong>of</strong> visitors participating in the survey who indicated they would return to visit<br />

the <strong>Park</strong> was generally very high and consistent among the fall and spring populations<br />

(Tables 27 and 28, Figures 24 and 25). The “Yes” responses ranged from 79.4% at the<br />

Visitor’s Center to 93.4% at both Blair Valley and Coyote Canyon. This repeat visitation<br />

may have important implications for management <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Park</strong>, as visitors who return to<br />

the <strong>Park</strong> may have specific expectations about the conditions within the park.<br />
