Each of the park\u2019s five entrances showed increased visits for the month of June, with the North and West entrances both recording a more than 20 percent increase over June last year. Bus passengers showed a 19.35 percent increase over last June, accounting for 65,268 of the park visitors in June, with more than half of those buses coming through the West Entrance.<\/p>\n

Visitation statistics are calculated by taking the actual number of wheeled vehicles entering the park gates, and using a person-per-vehicle multiplier to calculate the number of monthly recreational visitors, according to information released by the park’s public affairs office.<\/p>\n

July is typically the park\u2019s peak visitation month, followed in order by August, June, September, and May. July of 2010 was the park\u2019s busiest month on record, with nearly 958,000 visits.<\/p>\n
