Time: Tuesday, 2:30 pm - 3:45 pm
Location: Regency C (2nd Floor)
Presented by:
Mike Quist Kautz, Director of Public Access and Recreation, American Prairie
As iconic National Parks in Montana like Yellowstone and Glacier fill to capacity, where will the overflow visitors go, and how do we plan for changing visitor patterns? Managers must think ahead of this visitor curve by siting infrastructure that can centralize and absorb some of that visitation.
In 2017, American Prairie began exploring for answers. Join us in this interactive session that will share lessons learned and discuss solutions to challenges ahead.
