I wasn't in Old Faithful (but I've seen what you're talking about on the cam), just Mammoth, Little America, Canyon, and down through Hayden as far as Steamboat Point, and I have to say, the crowds in those areas are substantially less than in July and August, and much better behaved. My theory is they're by and large locals and regulars now, enjoying the beautiful fall weather.

Photo of the exception, bus-load of Japanese tourist snapping the view from Upper Terrace Drive last Saturday. But they're well-contained within their buses and such travelers generally don't approach wildlife, fall through thermal crust, or tailgate when you're already doing the speed limit against your preference to drive at 10 mph through wildlife corridors.
