ST. GEORGE — Despite seeing new trends in visitation, Bryce Canyon National Park is expecting 2022 to close out as its fourth busiest year in history.

“All of the springs since the pandemic, we’re extremely busy,” Syrett said. “Bryce Canyon is the most Alpine, highest elevation of the mighty five national parks. “We limited capacity in the Visitor Center and park shuttles; we had more frequent cleaning and sanitation schedules, as well as changes to food service in the Lodge. Syrett said because of the pandemic, many think since it’s busy during the peak season, they travel during the shoulder season. The tourism season isn’t as cut and dry as it once was before the pandemic; it’s “complicated.” There was some increase in the off-season due to a festival. “Visitation numbers won’t be finalized until next year, but we expect this to be the fourth busiest year in the park’s history behind 2017, 2018 and 2019.” From 2020 to 2021, Densmore said the park’s visitation fell by about 44% due to COVID-19 impacts. Densmore said 2.1 million people visited the park, and the 2022 visitation numbers will be finalized in early 2023. “2022 has seen park operations and visitation looking much more like the years leading up to the pandemic,” park spokesman Peter Densmore told St. [ conditions](https://www.nps.gov/brca/planyourvisit/conditions.htm) page for the latest COVID-19 Community Level and mask requirements.

She says it’s normal for an entire community to grieve after a mass shooting – even those who aren’t directly affected. “I'm the incident commander to the largest mass shooting in U.S. “Growing up, I was taught, to just, like, brush it off, put everything under the rug," she says. Spencer eventually did open up, to a mental health professional and other officers. “And you can't really put the type of stress that puts on someone, especially when you're in a predicament when there's not much you can do other than try to save lives.” “One of my friends, her therapist offered to see people who had survived Route 91 and go through trauma therapy sessions at no cost,” Nyman says.
