Roemer said the weather has a lot to do with how many people visit during these shoulder seasons, pointing to lower visitation in the spring of 2022 due to colder, wetter conditions.
All the while visitation to the park continues hovering at around 3 million per year. Through November of this year, the park saw 2,918,770 visitors, according to the National Park Service, which is already ahead of the 2022 visitor total of 2,908,458.
Glacier National Park’s 2024 reservation system will look different compared to previous years, with vehicle reservations no longer required for the Two Medicine and St. Mary entrances in the park.
You'll need a reservation to drive into Arches, Glacier, or Rocky Mountain national parks next summer, according to plans released within minutes of each other Thursday afternoon.
