These are sites people in book with. Each opens in a new tab, on the site's own pages.
Public holidays at Abu Dhabi move this destination's year too little to make it a different answer, so the Yellowstone page is the one of record. This one is kept for the distance and the flight it implies.
Month by month from Abu Dhabi
No fare history on AUH–BZN yet, so this ranking is climate and crowds only. The price column fills in as the scanner collects.

Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.
Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in AE as well as at Yellowstone, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.
How busy it gets
Getting there
Fly into Bozeman (BZN), then drive. The flights under Where to book are to Bozeman.

The drive from each airport is the road's, from openrouteservice.org by HeiGIT: typical, not a schedule.

The year in Yellowstone
Yellowstone can experience unpredictable weather, especially in early spring and late fall, so visitors should be prepared for various conditions.
| Busiest |
mid Jun to late Aug — Warm weather and full park access attract the most visitors.
|
|---|---|
| Quieter, still good |
mid May to mid Jun — Springtime blossoms and moderate weather provide a pleasant experience.
early Sep to mid Oct — Foliage changes and cooler temperatures lead to fewer crowds.
|
| Watch out for | wildfire season; extreme heat |
