Yellowstone Park visitation decreases in October
Visitation for first ten months of 2016 surpasses 2015 record
by Yellowstone National Park
November 10, 2016

Visitation numbers for October decreased in Yellowstone National Park. The overall decrease for October 2016 totaled nearly 4 percent below October 2015. However, the first 10 months of 2016 are up 3.6 percent compared to the previous year. When comparing visitation for the first 10 months of 2016 with the same period in 2014, the park experienced a 21 percent increase (729,174 more visits) in 2016.

Three of the park’s five entrances (North, South, and East Entrances) showed a decrease in recreational visits for the month of October compared to October 2015. The decrease at the East Entrance was likely a result of several temporary closures due to weather between October 3 and October 20.

For the sixth month in a row, the most striking increase in vehicle traffic was with buses. A total of 942 buses were in the park this October compared to 826 buses in October 2015 – a 14 percent increase from 2015.
