Something that surprised us most when visiting national parks this summer was seeing the difference between crowds the weekend before a holiday versus the actual holiday weekend. With most people getting extra days off during holiday weekends, naturally parks are busier and more crowded as people take advantage of these days off.
But what we found was that going the weekend before there were significantly less people, which makes sense. We decided to test that theory last weekend at Yellowstone and visited the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and we're presently surprised with the amount of people there.
With Labor Day being this weekend, we are expecting it to be busier and love seeing people enjoy our parks. However, we always like reminding people when visiting to be respectful and careful when exploring. We are grateful to have these incredible places at our disposal but it's up to everyone to keep them pristine and wild.
Please remember to do your part if you're planning on exploring any outdoor area this coming holiday weekend π«ΆπΌ
