More than 2.9 million people passed through the entrances of Glacier National Park in 2023, marking the park’s sixth busiest year in its history.
Recreational visits were up nearly 1% from 2022, according to statistics released by park officials Wednesday. Monthly records were set for May and September, when warmer-than-normal conditions inspired more people to visit earlier or later than usual.
In May 2023 there were over 200,000 visitors to the park and in September there were nearly 554,000 visitors. That’s up from more than 181,000 and 544,000 visitors, respectively, in 2022.
