Roughly 16% of the park's yearly visitors come in September: about 115,000 recreation visits in a typical year, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1979 to 2025.

That makes September the 3rd-busiest of the park's twelve months, sitting between the July peak (2.5×) and the February low (0.2×).

On our Best Time to Visit score September rates 47/100 ("Fair"). Our recommended month is June: the lightest crowds of the park's good-weather months.

The daily average of about 53°F is a comfortable range for hiking and being outdoors all day. These figures are 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals from the nearest station, about 1.8 miles from the park.

Because June, July and August together draw about 52% of annual visitors, choosing September instead steps outside that summer crush — the single biggest lever on how crowded the park feels.

You'll have about 12.2 hours of daylight in September to explore — between the 9.4-hour midwinter low and the 14.6-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2025 drew 718,014 recreation visits, down 0.7% from 722,834 in 2024.

Across the past decade overall visitation has eased about 9.3%, so September may feel a touch quieter than it once did.
