NPS listed around 3 million visitors all of 2019.
Visitation in 2020 was down 70% in June, 50% in July, 40% in August and 30% in September. A surge in October saw 125,544 visitors compared to 78,408 in October 2019.

I'm actually surprised October saw that jump...the weather was gorgeous the first week, but then GTTS road was shut down earlier than normal in 2020 due to Snow the 2nd week of October. I think it was closed around the 9th or so when they were hoping to keep it open another 2 weeks.
Maybe BZN could capture everything in the region well enough...I'm just tired of driving after I started flying! Haha.

Then again, MTJ and HDN still seem like weird plays for Southwest given the low passenger volume. If they wanted to push harder into leisure travel, BZN seems more obvious. So who knows.

Hopefully they will add more nonstop flight from MTJ or HDN to BWI, BNA, PHX or LAS.
