Yellowstone National Park just released that vehicle entries into the park were 50% higher over Memorial Day weekend 2021 than the same time period in 2019. That means there are a lot of people visiting Yellowstone right now. A few weeks ago I had written about having patience if and when you encounter a bison jam. But if you’re visiting now, you will need to expect traffic tie-ups throughout the park and heavy congestion at popular parking areas such as the geyser basins. Visitation outside the parks is also high. Montana State Parks reported back in March that most of their reserved campsites were booked for the summer. But there are places to go to get away from the crowds. The photo above depicts a popular recreational area that is within the Greater Yellowstone area. I won’t post the location here but if you’re interested in finding it, a little research will divulge it’s location.
