How Crowded Is Yellowstone National Park in June?

June runs about 2.3× Yellowstone National Park's average month, which makes it a very busy month here — roughly 19% of the park's yearly visitors come in June.

In a typical June the park sees about 817,000 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1979 to 2025.

That makes June the 3rd-busiest of the park's twelve months, sitting between the July peak (2.7×) and the November low (0.1×).

On our Best Time to Visit score June rates 37/100 ("Poor"), versus the top-rated April at 48/100 — best overall balance of crowds, weather and daylight.

Typical June weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 61°F and an overnight low around 33°F, with about 2.4" of precipitation.

That average of about 47°F is cool, so layers and a shorter daylight window matter.

June falls inside the park's busiest stretch: June, July and August together pull about 61% of the year's visitors, so a visit this month means sharing the park with the peak-season crowd.

You'll have about 15.4 hours of daylight in June to explore — near the year-round maximum.

Park-wide, 2025 drew 4,762,988 recreation visits, about flat from 4,744,353 in 2024.

Across the past decade overall visitation has risen about 7.5%, so a June visit is likely to feel busier than it did a few years ago.
