Yosemite National Park’s monthly visitation numbers for March grew by over two-thirds this year, according to recent data. The rise in visitors comes as the park approaches a reservation-free and potentially chaotic summer season.

According to a monthly public use report published by the National Park Service, Yosemite recorded 225,817 recreational visitors in March. That’s up about 45% from the 155,758 visitors recorded in March of last year, and the highest number of visitors the park has seen in March since 2016.
