Excerpt from Visitor Characteristics, Attitudes, and Use Patterns in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex, 1970-82

Data for only eight variables were reported, and only use by large parties changed substantially, declin ing over the 2 years. Data from mandatory permits showed use more than doubling from 1966 to 1979, While parties became smaller and stays shorter.

Total use declined but use of the wilderness grew moderately and groups became smaller. Question naire surveys were also conducted in 1978 and 1981. There were no changes in the distribution of male and female visitors, occupations, or education, and only a slight tendency for 1981 visitors to have less previous experience in the area than 197 8 visitors.
