Forest Service Visits 2014 Colorado Plateau

We calculated the intensity of recreation visitation in 2014 based on Forest Service (FS) visits reported in the National Visitor Use Monitoring System at the level of a National Forest (English et. al., 2002). Recreation use on FS lands is tracked at five-year intervals (2010–2014), therefore these data represent a rough estimate of potential 2014 visits. English, D. B. K., S. M. Kocis, S. J.
