Summary

Historically, traffi c on the Denali Park Road has been limited in order to protect wildlife and improve visitor experience. The Denali Park Road is one example of a park roadway facing increasing visitation and pressure to change or defend the current limits on traffi c. To respond to such pressures, park and protected area managers need a greater understanding of the impacts of traffi c volume and traffi c patterns on the physical, biological, and social environment. This study developed a traffi c simulation model of the Denali Park Road that predicts visitor experience and impacts on Dall’s sheep for hypothesized road usage scenarios. The model incorporated crowding indicators at prescribed scenic areas and at wildlife stops along [...]
