How Crowded Is Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site in November?

November runs about 0.3× Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site's average month, which makes it a very quiet month here — roughly 2% of the park's yearly visitors come in November.

In a typical November the park sees about 580 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1979 to 2025.

That makes November the 10th-busiest of the park's twelve months, sitting between the July peak (2.2×) and the February low (0.2×).

On our Best Time to Visit score November rates 40/100 ("Poor"), versus the top-rated April at 55/100 — best overall balance of crowds, weather and daylight.

Typical November weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 40°F and an overnight low around 16°F, with about 0.5" of precipitation.

That average of about 28°F is cold, with winter conditions likely on higher ground.

Because June, July and August together draw about 49% of annual visitors, choosing November instead steps outside that summer crush — the single biggest lever on how crowded the park feels.

You'll have about 9.1 hours of daylight in November to explore — between the 8.4-hour midwinter low and the 15.6-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2025 drew 23,520 recreation visits, down 14.4% from 27,479 in 2024.

Across the past decade overall visitation has risen about 11.2%, so a November visit is likely to feel busier than it did a few years ago.
