Yellowstone's July Attendance Through the Roof...Er, the Big Sky

It's also the first time in Yellowstone's history that the number of visitors for the first seven months of the year has topped the 2-million mark.

Yellowstone officials are struggling to cope with the record traffic -- the story here.
