Visitation to Yellowstone National Park in 2019 was the lowest since 2014/NPS, Jacob W. Frank

Is the crush over, or was 2019 simply an anomaly in terms of Yellowstone National Park's popularity?

Park officials announced this week that visitation to the park last year dipped to just a bit more than 4 million, or the lowest since 2014. Drilling down a bit more, the park's 2019 visitation was off 2.3 percent from 2018, and 5.6 percent from 2016, the park's record year when 4.2 million people visited.

Here's a look at visitation in recent years:

2019 – 4,020,287

2018 – 4,114,999

2017 – 4,116,525

2016 – 4,257,177

2015 – 4,097,710

2014 – 3,513,486
