When to Visit Yellowstone
The best time to visit Yellowstone is from March to May and from September to November.These seasons feature both mild weather and fewer crowds.Summer is the most popular time to visit: the kids are out of school and the weather is warm enough to sleep outside.However，this park is no stranger to the cold.Temperatures have been known to drop into the 30s even in summer，and during the winter，they range anywhere from negative three to 25 degrees Fahrenheit.Don't let that stop you.There's nothing quite like seeing plumes (飘升之物) of steam rise from beneath a thick blanket of snow.
