Yellowstone record

Yellowstone National Park hosted a record number of visitors this summer, and it could have its busiest year ever.

Park officials said that nearly 2.3 million people visited Yellowstone in June, July and August. That’s up about 5 percent from the previous summer high set in 1999.
