• Description:
  In 2005, Fort Clatsop National Memorial celebrates the bicentennial of the winter encampment of the Lewis and Clark expedition at Fort Clatsop. In the summer of 2004 a number of changes in operations were made at Fort Clatsop in anticipation of a large increase in visitation during the Bicentennial. Key changes to systems operations include the implementation of a ticket reservation system; the opening of Netul Landing as the new gateway to Fort Clatsop; the seasonal closing of the two parking lots near the visitor center; the use of shuttle buses to transport visitors from Netul Landing to the fort, and the expansion of regional bus service to accommodate visitors coming from nearby communities. The goal of this current evaluation is to assist the National Park Service (NPS) in assessing how the new systems have performed during the summer of 2004. NPS and its partners will use the findings from the evaluation to help inform decisions regarding operations for next summer.
