*Before 1996, NPS estimated visitation through a combination of counts from an infrared pedestrian tracker (located on the trail between the docks and Rainbow Bridge) and ranger estimates. In late 1996, NPS replaced the original infrared pedestrian counter with new model and placed the counter on the courtesy docks. The visitation figures after this modification are considered more accurate than the pre-1996 estimates.
