My favorite time of year to be in Yellowstone is now. To be more specific, I like to be there from mid May to mid June. The main reason, of course, is all the baby animals. But that’s not all. The colors are fantastic then also. Yes, the crowds can be frustrating. I remember going there in the early 1970’s to photograph wildlife and I never saw another serious photographer. Really.
I didn’t go this year and I really miss it.
