The following story may not be welcome news for businesses in communities surrounding Yellowstone National Park, but for the park itself, it really isn't bad.
The East Idaho News reported:
MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, Wyoming – Yellowstone National Park hosted 534,155 visits in June 2020. This is a 32% decrease from June 2019. Although the numbers were down, visitation substantially increased over the month. In the last ten days of June, traffic counts ranged from 90% – 116% of 2019 numbers.
So far in 2020, the park has hosted 667,290 visits, down 49% from the same period last year. The park was closed due to health and safety reasons related to COVID-19 beginning March 24, 2020. Two Wyoming entrances opened on May 18 and three Montana entrances opened on June 1, 2020. All five entrances were open for the entire month.
