The flood gates are open and Grand Teton National Park is awash in visitors setting a new high mark for the month of March.
March saw 74,754 recreation visits, nearly 25,000 more visitors than March 2020 which tallied 51,445. In 2019, March had 65,864 visitors.
With continuing mostly dry weather, April is on track to also rack up big numbers.
âWe are seeing increased visitors using the Teton Park Road this spring,â said Denise Germann, park public affairs officer recently. âIt may be a sign of what is to come this summer. Last weekend was one of the busiest weâve seen in years.â
The park also set a visitation record for the month of January with 66,585 visitors. February, a particularly stormy month, was down with only 53,108 recreational visitors.
