Title	High-use destinations in wilderness :: social and biophysical impacts, visitor responses, and management options
Contributor	Cole, David N. ; <br>Rocky Mountain Research Station (Fort Collins, Colo.)
Description	Six high-use destination areas were studied in the Alpine Lakes, Mount Jefferson, and Three Sisters Wildernesses in Washington and Oregon. Exit interviews were conducted with visitors, and recreation impacts and visitor encounter rates between groups were quantified. Encounter rates were extremely high and impacts were substantial but localized. Visitors were more concerned about high impact levels than high encounter rates. Management implications are explored.
