Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores wilderness visitor experiences through case studies of three contrasting National Forest wildernesses in the South: the Caney Creek, Cohutta, and Upland Island wildernesses. It adds to our understanding of wilderness visitor experiences, supplementing earlier visitor studies that focused primarily on wildernesses in the western U.S. The data collection methods included on-site interviews, and mail questionnaires were sent to visitors of each wilderness. The book examines the visitors' experiences across three dimensions: characteristics, preferences, and activities. There is the expected variation in wilderness experiences, with Upland Island visitors being more likely to go alone or in pairs, whereas Cohutta visitors had a much greater tendency to go as part of a family group. This study's findings will aid land managers in making informed decisions about protecting wilderness areas.
