More Visitors to Yellowstone

in Yellowstone
EBS Staffby EBS Staff
November 5, 2010

Established in 1872, Yellowstone National Park was America’s first national park and is still one of the nation’s most popular. This year, Yellowstone has continued to set visitation records. Summer daily visits averaged between 25,000 and 30,000 people. September’s 550,504 visitors topped that month’s totals from 2009 by over 60,000. Year to date totals are up by 273,000 visitors from last year.

Tourism boards in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho upped their marketing of Yellowstone in recent years. Additionally, the nationwide recession may have caused vacationers to stay closer to home.
