Visitation to Yellowstone National Park for the month of May and for the first five months of 2014 overall is up almost six percent compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n

Visitation to the world\u2019s first national park begins to pick up in May as weather improves and interior roads and visitor facilities begin to open to the public.<\/p>\n

There were 310,039 recreational visitors to Yellowstone in May and a total of 415,185 for the first five months of 2014. That compares to 293,250 recreational visitors for May 2013 and 392,222 recreational visitors for January through May 2013, according to a statement released by the park’s public affairs office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Visitation at each of the park\u2019s five entrances for the month of May and for the first five months of 2014 is up compared to 2013 levels.<\/p>\n

Visitation statistics are calculated by taking the actual number of wheeled vehicles entering the park gates, and using a person-per-vehicle multiplier to calculate the number of monthly recreational visitors.<\/p>\n

July is typically the park\u2019s peak visitation month, followed in order by August, June, September, and May.<\/p>\n
