• Abertura

  Roads reopen to cars

  15 Abr – 30 Mai · normalmenteTemporada de trilhas

  The road system is ploughed open in phases from the third week of April, with the high passes last in late May. Late April gives you geyser basins with snow on them and almost no traffic. Fonte ↗

• Natureza

  Spring wildlife on the northern range

  15 Abr – 15 Jun · normalmenteTemporada de vida selvagem

  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.

  Beartooth Highway open

  22 Mai – 12 Out · normalmenteTemporada de trilhasFechamentos

  The road over the 3,300-metre pass to the northeast gate opens around the end of May and closes in mid-October, earlier if it snows. It is the best drive in the region and the first thing shut. Fonte ↗

• Feriado

  Memorial Day weekend

  23–25 MaiFeriado nacionalLotadoReserve cedo

  Memorial Day, the last Monday of May, opens the summer travel season: over the long weekend campsites and lodging book out, roads are slow, and parking at the most popular spots fills early in the day. Fonte ↗

• Natureza

  Meadow wildflowers

  15 Jun – 31 Jul · normalmenteFlores silvestres e floradas

  Lupine, balsamroot and paintbrush through the Hayden and Lamar valleys from mid-June, later the higher the meadow. It runs about six weeks and ends when the grass browns off. Fonte ↗

  Summer peak

  1 Jul – 20 AgoFérias escolaresLotadoReserve cedo

  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. Fonte ↗

• Risco

  Wildfire smoke

  15 Jul – 20 Set · normalmenteTemporada de fumaça

  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. Fonte ↗

• Natureza

  Bison rut

  20 Jul – 25 Ago · normalmenteÉpoca do cioRisco

  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. Fonte ↗

  Elk rut at Mammoth

  5 Set – 15 Out · normalmenteÉpoca do cioRisco

  Bulls bugle on the lawns at Mammoth through September and rangers cone off the ones that will not move. The crowds have gone by then and the light is better than it is all summer.

  Winter wolves in the Lamar

  20 Dez – 10 Mar · normalmenteTemporada de vida selvagem
