Thanks To All Our Readers

Year-end usually leads to reflection, and we'd be more than remiss if we didn't take a moment to thank all of you who read the Traveler.

Without your surfing by on a regular basis to see what news there is across the National Park System we'd have little motivation to keep plugging away. Our growth in readers continues to amaze us -- we're well over 1 million a year -- and the time you take to comment on stories and provide your perspectives is a valuable part of what the Traveler is all about.

We will continue to strive in 2012 to provide you with interesting news and features from across the National Park System.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.

And thank YOU, Kurt and Bob and the others working behind the scenes, for making this possible.

I agree with Lee. Kurt, Bob, and all at NPT have been doing an
outstanding job in providing a daily forum on all things "national
park." Big congratulations for growing the e-publication this year. I
enjoyed reporting on the treasures of Bandelier National Monument for
the Spring edition travel planner (right before Bandelier's new Visitor
Center was, sadly, engulfed in fires and flashfloods this summer). I'm
very glad to be associated with such a talented bunch.

Is that 1 million hits, or 1 million views by different
addresses?


Submitted by Kurt Repanshek on January 1, 2012 - 12:38pm.

More than 1.2 million visits, nearly 950,000 uniques.

I think it is amazing and good that there is that much interest in the national parks as evidenced by almost 1 million unique hits on one web site. I was expecting you to say that there were about 300,000 uniques and therefore a lot of hard core people were visiting. Instead, it appears that a whole bunch of people are checking this site in preparation for a visit to one or more of the units.

Happy New Year to all of you at NPT!
