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.
The Glacier National Park Conservancy’s projects for 2024 include monitoring alpine and wetland rare plants, improving bear management capacity, continuing vital species studies and fostering partnerships with local tribes.
