Yellowstone National Park will shut down for the end of the summer season tomorrow morning at 8 am. Only the road from Gardiner, MT to Cooke City, MT through Yellowstone will be open as the park prepares for the approaching winter season. Yellowstone saw record attendance in 2020 with September being the busiest September on record. And those numbers are with no tour buses in the park this year which meant a lot more cars than normal. I went in twice in September, before sunrise, and almost immediately left due to the amount of traffic. This image was taken in the winter in Lamar Valley more years ago than I care to admit.
