The same four parks that broke visitation records in 2021 — Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef and Zion — all experienced visitation decreases last year, ranging from -7% at Zion National Park to -19% at Arches National Park. Zion still ended up with its second-busiest year on record with almost 4.7 million visitors.
Hovenweep and Timpanogos Cave national monuments experienced increases, though neither brings in large crowds. The latter drew in just under 156,000 people, representing a 27% jump from 2021. , impacting other travel costs over the summer, which is the busiest time period for all of Utah's parks.–Vicki Varela, managing director of the Utah Office of Tourism

"That's why we try to really customize our marketing strategies and community engagement to the circumstances of each of those parks."Garfield County already started this work for Bryce Canyon.
