This Week in Yellowstone: August 27th to September 2nd, 2026

This week in Yellowstone National Park, from August 27th to September 2nd, 2026, I'll let you know what to actually expect when visiting the park in September, talk a bit about the importance of obsidian in the park, tell you what is closing in the park this week, and try to explain why seeing a grizzly this time of the year is so hard to do. I will also give you the complete weather forecast, a cool trail to hike, the snowpack update, the wildlife report, and everything else you need to have an incredible time, “This Week in Yellowstone.”Backcountry Conditions: https://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/situationreport.htm
