Yellowstone braces for more crowds after 2 years of records
(AP) — Yellowstone National Park's superintendent has predicted the number of park visitors will keep growing after two straight years of record attendance but said park personnel are prepared for the challenge.
Wenk expressed concern about dangerous and illegal activity by some visitors — including a bison calf put in a vehicle by people who thought it was cold, tourists who left footprints at the Grand Prismatic Spring and a man who strayed off a boardwalk and died after falling into a hot spring.
The park has many warning signs for visitors, but Wenk said he "was disturbed our messages weren't getting out."
