Episode 269: No Reservations Required? Glacier & Yellowstone Changes Explained(ish)
About this episode
This week it's just Rebecca and Shannon trying to break down what's actually happening at Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park in 2026.
No vehicle reservation system at Glacier. (And reminder: there has never been one at Yellowstone.) But there are changes to entrance fees — especially for international visitors — including a new $100 nonresident fee at both parks.
We're walking through what's new, what's not, what free entrance days mean this year, and what you need to know before loading up the car and heading west.
Are we experts? Absolutely not.
Will we try to explain it anyway? You bet.
