This week in Yellowstone National Park, from August 13th to August 19th, 2026, I talk about the southern end of the park; finally, I discuss the awesomeness of the picnic areas of the park, and share a short blurb about why we still talk about the 1988 fires. I will also give you the complete weather forecast, a cool trail to hike, the snowpack update, the wildlife report, and everything else you need to have an incredible time, “This Week in Yellowstone.”
