Yellowstone faces crowds, growing challenges as Park Service celebrates centennial

Attendees at an outdoor concert held near Yellowstone National Park last week as part of the National Park Service’s Centennial Celebration were told to expect traffic jams, parking hassles and long lines for admission.

While the Aug. 25 event brought less congestion than anticipated, that same advisory could also apply to many summer days in Yellowstone itself.
