This week in Yellowstone National Park, from October 1st to October 7th, 2026, I’ll talk about why October is a rad time to be in the park, discuss how September snow in the park is a thing of the past, and give some tips to see bears in the evening hours. I will also give you the complete weather forecast, a really cool trail to hike, the snowpack update, the wildlife report, and everything else you need to have an incredible time. “This Week in Yellowstone.”
