Yellowstone travel update: June visitation dipped as Yellowstone drew 903,025 people (down 3% from June 2025) and Grand Teton also fell to 798,286 (down 5.7% vs. 2021), with July and August still expected to bring peak crowds. Wildlife safety: A Yellowstone bison attack sent a tourist flying about 8 feet into the air, and officials continue to warn visitors to keep distance as human-wildlife encounters rise. Bears Ears/Grand Staircase-Escalante: Trump’s latest move shrinks two Utah national monuments again, a change conservation groups say they’ll fight—something travelers who plan Utah public-lands stops may want to watch. Targhee expansion: Driggs and Teton County, Idaho, filed objections to the Grand Targhee Resort expansion ahead of a July 23 joint meeting. Public health: Wyoming’s measles situation in Teton County is now described as “community spread,” with possible exposures listed around Jackson-area locations. Fire readiness: Wyoming Game and Fish issued fire bans in Carbon County, and the Wyoming Air National Guard activated its 153rd Airlift Wing to support wildland firefighting in the West. Big Boy rail buzz: Union Pacific’s Big Boy No. 4014 continues its 250th-anniversary tour, with Wyoming-area interest boosted by upcoming stops and public viewing opportunities. Local tourism & community: A $9,500 WBCI grant will stock the Sweetwater Breast Boutique in Rock Springs, supporting visitors and patients close to home.
