Excerpt from Self-Issued Wilderness Permits as an Use Measurement System

Wilderness use is one of the most difficult types of recreational use to measure. The typical wilderness has many access points, usually distant from Ranger Stations and difficult to check. Compared to developed sites, use is light and variable (wilderness recreation is, by definition, low density). This makes it prohibitively expensive to observe all entry points-some would have no use at all on certain days. Use is so widely dispersed that it is nearly impossible to make a direct head count, as could be done in developed auto-access campgrounds. Therefore, a variety of indirect ways of measuring wilderness use have been devised: sample observations, electronic counters, automatic cameras, estimates based on data from trail registers or mandatory permits, or guessing, based on informal, unsystematic observations.'
