There will be a lot more than "any" people there, visitation is up 20% which makes it a busy place. I've not been down for a couple of weeks but people are still seeing grizzlies and black bears, but if you can take only one spray, make it bug spray, not bear spray. Unlike bears, mosquitoes attack without provocation!
In early June there were more pronghorns around Little America, especially, than I've ever seen, and they weren't shy about having their photos taken.
Of course you'll have a great time, just stay far away from the bison, who have so far gored or tossed, without serious injury, five people, I think all of whom backing up to have their photos taken next to the "peaceable" bovines. NOT. I think this is what happens when not only visitation, but bison populations are way up.
Would love to see your trip report here when you get back! Safe travels!
