Rocky Mountain National Park Smashes Annual Visitation Record

As a result of it celebrating its Centennial in 2015, Rocky Mountain National Park has smashed the record for the most visitors in one year.

According to data collected by the National Park Service Visitor Use Statistics website, visitation to the park increased by a whopping 21% in 2015, when compared to the prior year. In total, the park recorded 4,155,916 visitors last year, versus 3,434,754 in 2014, which set the previous record high.

With the National Park Service celebrating its centennial this year, it's very possible that the park could see even more visitors in 2016.

Here's a graphical look at visitation since Rocky Mountain became a national park in 1915:
