Yellowstone will not only be crowded but by September you might catch some snow - might get lucky and have 70's everyday, but plan for Cold and Damp and be Happy with Sunny and Warm.
We are also planning a trip to Tetons, Yellowstone, and Glacier in the same time frame in 2020.
I know snow is a possibility, but I am surprised Yellowstone is still crowded in September. I know it is very popular park, but I would think the crowds would be down some from the summer peak due to school being back in session.
Best trip we have ever had to the Park was in Late October - Early November - Indian Summer with not so many People.
Crowds are relative to where you are from and what you might prefer - that said - IMHO it is still Very Crowded in September!:S
Snow will almost always come in September - actually think it has snowed every month of the year in Yellowstone - BUT - it will Melt and IMHO just makes it even more Beautiful - Note here is to be Prepared for Any and Everything as you travel - Good Boots - Layers - Floppy Hat - Rain Gear -
CAMERA that you will carry! (Take three pictures every time you think one will do)
Most important thing, might be to be Flexible in your Schedule, as the Weather and Your Interests will change. I use DOT webcams to help with the actual weather and the Yellowstone WebCams to see what is actually going on, IMHO these are the best!
Yellowstone NP WebCamsLast little note - there are things all around the Park to Enjoy - so if you have the time being a little flexible is not all that hard - Being Lucky has a lot to do with being Persistent, and being Smart, so while we still seldom make reservations we still enjoy most of these Beautiful National Parks - we just need to be a little smarter today than yesterday. - :)
Hope this helps,
