MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS – Yellowstone National Park hosted 316,662 recreation visits in October 2021, down 12 percent from October 2020 (359,889 visits), which was the busiest October on record.

Recreation visits this October were up 85 percent from October 2019 (171,339 visits). Several short-term, weather-related road closures likely impacted visitation in 2019.
