This week in Yellowstone National Park, from July 23rd to July 29th, 2026, I dive into the Hayden vs Lamar debate, let you know why viewing the park as two main driving loops is somewhat flawed, and share with you the smelliest geyser basins. 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.”
