Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a study on how perceptions of wilderness carrying capacity differ among visitors to two distinct wilderness areas - the heavily visited Desolation Wilderness and the lightly used Spanish Peaks Primitive Area. Both areas draw visitors from diverse backgrounds who share similar socioeconomic profiles and recreational activities, yet their contrasting use levels have fostered unique perspectives on crowding and management strategies. The author analyzes visitor attitudes and preferences, highlighting the shared ideals of solitude and minimal social interaction. Despite these common values, visitors to the more heavily used Desolation Wilderness exhibit greater tolerance for higher use levels, adapting their expectations and behaviors to accommodate the increased presence of others. This perceptive examination of visitor perceptions challenges the assumption that wilderness carrying capacity can be objectively defined and emphasizes the need for flexible management approaches that adapt to the diverse needs and experiences sought by wilderness visitors. The study underscores the importance of understanding the dynamic relationship between use levels, perceptions of crowding, and the resulting management strategies employed in wilderness areas.
