This report summarizes data collected during the 2013 regulatory season to monitor six of the seven Denali Park Road Vehicle Management Plan (VMP) tier one indicators: 1) number of vehicles stopped to view wildlife at one time (wildlife stops); 2) number of vehicles at rest stops; 3) number of vehicles visible in viewscapes; 4) maintenance of hourly ten-minute gaps in traffic at sheep crossing locations (sheep gaps); 5) number of vehicles per hour between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. (night-time traffic); and 6) amount of time a hiker waits for a bus. The primary objective of this report is to compare the conditions of VMP indicators during the 2013 regulatory season to the standards. The monitoring results will be used to develop strategies for managing vehicle traffic on the park road in a manner that meets the goals and standards established by the VMP.
