The final numbers are in and they show that 2021 was the busiest year ever for Yellowstone National Park. I was last in Yellowstone back in 2019.
According to the Bozeman Daily Chronicle:
With the December numbers finally tallied, Yellowstone National Park has a final visitation number for its busiest year on record: 4,860,537.
The final number shows a wide gulf between 2021 and the next busiest year. The total count for 2021 is more than 600,000 visits higher than 2016, which had a little more than 4.25 million visits.
At least nine separate months topped their previous highs in 2021, according to park records — March, April, May, June, July, August, September, November and December. July was the busiest month ever, with more than 1 million visits recorded.
