Get access to Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon for free on these special days.
In 2020, with international travel mostly on pause, Americans flocked to national parks. According to National Park Service data, Yellowstone National Park saw record numbers with a 20 percent increase in visits in September 2020 compared to 2019. As of November, its total 2020 numbers are down just 5 percent compared to 2019. Point Reyes National Seashore in northern California also had a banner summer that's continued into the fall, with 39 percent more visits in November than the same month in 2019. While overall visitor numbers are still down across most parks, the trend of discovering America's natural wonders—and in many cases, our own backyards—seems primed to continue well into 2021.
