Abstract:

On select days in August and September 2019, Town of Vail staff and volunteers, in partnership with the Volpe Center, administered a survey to visitors to four trailheads located in East Vail. The purpose of the survey was to collect information on characteristics related to transportation choices, visitor attitudes, and trip logistics to inform future management decisions for each trailhead and trail. This report summarizes the results from this survey. Key findings include that visitors to Booth (one of the trailheads, and the most popular of the four) are unique when compared to visitors on the other three trails, most notably with regard to knowledge of its wilderness area designation, commitment to hiking the specific trail, and feeling that the trail was crowded, among other characteristics. Concerning possible transportation management changes at these trails, more visitors are supportive of providing shuttle service to the trails than for limiting trail use or instituting parking fees.
