Yellowstone Lottery 2025

Well. 3 years in a row of a bad draw for our group! Soonest access day for us is April 18th. Each year has been a disappointment on results day, but somehow everything seems to work out and we end up with a great trip anyway! Hope everyone else fared better!!

My wife pulled the 6th and I got the 14th this time. Much better than last year's shutout.

Congrats @scatman! I guess she is the lucky one in the marriage haha. The 6th should have some great options.

I got the 5th and my wife didn't get a spot. I'll take it.

I'm planning on taking my boys to Heart Lake in early September this year, so I might actually need it. Last year I got a slot for day 1 and 'wasted' it on a site I could've easily gotten as a walk-up.

I got 1st. Very, very lucky. But I have a question for you.

I was thinking of doing a 3-day, 2-night loop hike in the Gallatin area. My plan was to start from Indian Creek TH, cross Bighorn Pass, and camp at Gallatin River (WB1). The next day, I would connect with Fawn Pass Trail, then follow Fan Creek, and finally take the Sportsman Lake Trail to Sportsman Lake Camp. On the last day, I planned to head toward Electric Peak Pass and exit through Glen Creek TH, where we would have parked the car.


That was the plan, but after checking the recreation.gov website and looking at the backcountry campsites, I noticed warnings—specifically at Sportsman Lake—stating that the Glen Creek and Snow Pass trails will be closed in 2025 (this is the only place where I’ve seen this information). So, how can I exit to the Mammoth-Norris road?

I don't know the details of the closure, but could you use Sepulcher Mountain TH instead of Glen Creek TH?
