Some older numbers available
Bubba, thanks. I did check there. All I found was some older numbers in the High Peaks UMP (Unit Management Plan). The most recent figures are from 1998.
Estimated total High Peaks visitors in 1998 = 140,000. This includes trailheads that don't serve the Eastern Region. An eyeball of the chart does show that the vast majority are in the Eastern Region. They also acknowledge that the number is probably higher, since this is based on registrations.
So far as the split between dayhikers and campers go, they say only that "Day users are the overwhelming majority."
Does anyone know of any more recent figures, or ones that give a better idea of actual overnights?
Thanks!
