YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. — Visitation to Yellowstone National Park during June is down 4.8 percent from a year ago but is still the second busiest June on record in the nation’s first national park.

During the first six months of this year, the park has hosted about 1.3 million visits, down 5.5 percent from the same period in 2016.
