RV parks in the Canyon). We estimate that of those tourists at least 10% of them will be from out of <br />state or Country. <br />The evidence we use for these estimates is from a survey of cyclists visiting the Yakima River <br />Canyon Scenic Byway we conducted in 2014. <br />Because of that survey, we know that there were slightly more male cyclists than females, 51 to 60 <br />years old living in King County with an income ranging between $100,000'and $149,999. <br />Nearly 100% of cyclists said that they travel away from home for cycling destinations that have <br />beautiful scenery that has safe, bicycle friendly roads. Most cyclists travel between 100 and 200 <br />miles to a cycling destination. Some mentioned that they travel to other States or out of the <br />Country as well. When traveling away from home most said that they stay between 1 and 2 nights <br />at either a hotel/motel, many also indicated that they stay at campgrounds. <br />When looking for cycling opportunities or events cyclists use a'wide variety of resources: internet, <br />magazines, word of mouth, and social media. Some of the most common sources include Cascade <br />Bicycle Club, Outdoors NW magazine, and Cycling NW. <br />We also base our projections on use statistics that we receive from the Bureau of Land <br />Management about their recreation sites in the Yakima River Canyon Scenic Byway. Recently <br />released use survey numbers show a steady and significant use pattern in the Canyon (see chart <br />below). <br />a� <br />150,000 <br />N <br />M <br />100,000 <br />50,000 <br />0 <br />Z 0 <br />Yakima River Canyon Scenic Byway <br />BLM Site Use Oct 2015 -Sept 2016 <br />Big Pines <br />■ Camping 36,400 <br />■ Day Use 33,600 <br />Total Use: 350,093 <br />."Mr- _' ,�4 <br />Lmuma Ringer <br />Creek Loop Road <br />21,000 0 <br />39,000 12,000 <br />Roza <br />Umtanum <br />12,189 <br />110,304 <br />3,400 <br />82,200 <br />County -wide Lodging Tax Application P a g e 112 <br />
