Yellowstone Backcountry Lottery 2026

Yeah... Some of them think they are special.

I struck out, my son stuck out and my daughter also was unsuccessful, but my wife pulled an April 2nd slot, so I like our chances of getting what we want for our family trip at Shoshone Lake in August.

I have a hard time believing that there was a 75% success rate. Since implementing this lottery on recreation.gov, I've whiffed three times, before the lottery I never had an issue getting what I wanted, and we're talking going on 30 years using the old system. It's Bullshit!

This is the trip with your son and his girlfriend, right? April 2 should be good for you, I hope.
