Travel this summer has been a big deal to many Idaho families, and one popular destination over the past few years has been Yellowstone National Park.

However, Yellowstone has seen a 45% decrease in visits from July 2021, the most-visited July on record, and a 36% decrease from July 2019, the last pre-Covid year.

The dip in visitors is due in part to historic flooding. On June 13, all entrances to Yellowstone closed with only some entrances since reopening.

As the park recovers from the June flood, it’s critical that visitors traveling to the park in the coming weeks stay informed about what’s open and closed.

So far in 2022, the park is  down 30% in visitors from 2021.
