Yellowstone Just Shattered A Park Attendance Record
With waits lasting for hours just to enter the park, and packed parking lots at all the popular attractions, it's not surprising that Yellowstone just announced one of their busiest months in history.
According to a press release from the National Park Service, there was a 20 percent increase in attendance at -Yellowstone National Park from June 2019, and more than a 60 percent increase from June 2020, when the park opening was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The YNP visitation statistics released on Thursday (7/15) showed the park hosted 938,845 recreation visits last month (June 2021), which makes it the most visited June in the park's recorded history.
