Officials admit getting an exact count of visitors to Rocky Mountain National Park is not an exact science. Still, they are confident that last year’s park attendance was the third-best ever.
The annual visitation for the park in 2011 was approximately 3,335,800 people, 1.3 percent less than the record set in 2000.
Annual visitation in 2000 was the highest at 3,380,044, followed by 1999 with 3,366,253, according to Rocky Mountain National Park spokeswoman Kyle Patterson.
July is the most visited month in the park, followed by August, September and June. October and May also can see many visitors but are very weather-dependent.
