Plans

We’re less than a month away from the boating season, but if you’re planning a Yellowstone fishing trip, the time to launch preparations is now.

We’re now down to the final weeks of the 2018 Yellowstone National Park fall season, but there are still some compelling reasons to make an October or November run to the Park.

We have two more Yellowstone fires reported — one already contained, one out — as the Bacon Rind Fire expands to 1,388 acres and causes Park officials to potentially deploy pilot cars due to heavy smoke.

With 940,563 visits last month — the fifth busiest July ever — 2018 Yellowstone visitation is slightly up from 2017, though still trailing 2016’s record numbers.

It’s high season in Yellowstone, but it’s still possible to get out and enjoy the Park without having to share it with a gazillion other tourists and their shrieking kids. How? Go for a Yellowstone day hike.

Yes, the stories about lines and traffic jams created by Yellowstone crowds are indeed true, as the National Park Service tallied 810,884 visits in June 2018, a slight increase over last year (803,652 visits) and below June 2016 (838,316 visits) numbers, which remains the busiest June ever in Yellowstone.

Record crowds descended on Yellowstone National Park in 2018, so planning your trip has never been more important. So map out your trip with the perfect planner: Yellowstone Insider for Families!

After the Beartooth Highway closed this morning at the MT/WY state line due to overnight snow, crews have opened the popular route again.

Can you visit all of Yellowstone National Park on a one-day trip?

For anyone visiting Yellowstone National Park, Bozeman, MT may seem like an unlikely destination.
