Yellowstone National Park has reported its highest-ever number of September visitors, a sharp contrast to earlier in the pandemic.
The increase contrasts sharply with May, when visitation rates were 90% lower compared to the same month last year.
Yellowstone was closed due to the coronavirus pandemic from March 24 to May 18, when its two Wyoming entrances reopened. A rapid uptick saw an increase of 2% in visitation rates in July compared to the same month last year. The park hosted 955,645 visitors in July compared to 534,000 people in June. The national park's peak season is typically from May through September. Tourism tends to taper off in September and October. Most lodges, restaurants, stores and other services close for the year in October, followed by all park roads in early November.
