As the spring thaw arrives, Yellowstone National Park will open certain roads to visitors for the summer season. According to a press release from Yellowstone, the West Entrance at West Yellowstone to Old Faithful, Mammoth Hot Springs to Old Faithful and Norris Junction to Canyon Village will open, weather-permitting, at 8 a.m. on Friday, April 19.
The opening will happen just in time for National Park Week, when visitors’ entrance fees will be waived on April 20.
More roads will open as the region enters spring. Several roads remain open year-round: the North Entrance in Gardiner, and the Northeast Entrance in Cooke City/Silver Gate. The release advises visitors to assess conditions when planning a trip to Yellowstone and be mindful of safety around wildlife.
