How Crowded Is Waco Mammoth National Monument in November?

November runs about 0.8× Waco Mammoth National Monument's average month, which makes it a quiet month here — roughly 7% of the park's yearly visitors come in November.

In a typical November the park sees roughly 6,300 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 2015 to 2025.

That makes November the 8th-busiest of the park's twelve months, sitting between the March peak (1.9×) and the January low (0.5×).

On our Best Time to Visit score November rates 66/100 ("Good"), versus the top-rated September at 73/100 — pleasant weather with noticeably thinner crowds (shoulder season).

Typical November weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 68°F and an overnight low around 46°F, with about 2.9" of precipitation.

That average of about 57°F is a comfortable range for hiking and being outdoors all day.

Because June, July and August together draw about 28% 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 10.4 hours of daylight in November to explore — between the 9.9-hour midwinter low and the 14.1-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2025 drew 91,678 recreation visits, down 18.1% from 111,961 in 2024.
