How was the crowd this year? Last time I was at Oxbow bend there was a few folks who wandered down to the water which got into the foreground shots of us who where there for more than an hour waiting for good light.

This was taken last year. Decently crowded in the morning before sunrise, with people not really giving much care to the others that were also there. Unfortunate

I had to cut the right side off on mine due to people having to go in and out of the water to get their selfies.

I was there since 4am…smh.

I lived there for two years and you just must have had bad timing. You went on a federal holiday?

It was mid July. Just the season for a lot of people I think.

Oh. Yes. That is very busy. Edit: I think it is four million or so visitors a year. Almost all during summer.

This is "normal" for that place throughout most of the seasons it's easily accessible. There's a reason this photo reappears on this sub every couple days (no judgment, it's a great photo but also an incredibly commonly photographed place).

Busy as always. Yellowstone being closed made it a little crazier than normal. Rained a ton in June, but it summer lasted til October this year.
