  Roads reopen to cars

  15 Abr – 30 May · normalmenteTemporada de senderos

  Spring wildlife on the northern range

  15 Abr – 15 Jun · normalmenteTemporada de fauna

  Bison calves in the Lamar Valley from late April, bears out of the den on the lower slopes, and wolves visible against the last snow. The best wildlife weeks of the year, before the crowds.

  Memorial Day weekend

  Summer peak

  1 Jul – 20 AgoVacaciones escolaresMucha genteReserva pronto

  July and August carry more than half the park's annual visits. Old Faithful's car park fills by mid-morning, in-park lodging books a year out, and a bison on the road costs you an hour. Fuente ↗

• Riesgo

  Wildfire smoke

  15 Jul – 20 Sep · normalmenteTemporada de humo

  The park burns most summers and so does everything upwind of it. Smoke can flatten the light and the views for a week without a fire being anywhere in the park. Fuente ↗

  Bison rut

  20 Jul – 25 Ago · normalmenteÉpoca de berreaRiesgo

  Bulls bellow, wallow and fight through the Hayden and Lamar valleys in high summer, and they stand in the road while they do it. It is also the season most people are gored for standing too close.

  Labor Day, the first Monday of September, is the last big getaway of summer: the long weekend books out campsites and lodging and fills parking early, and families thin out quickly once it has passed. Fuente ↗
