October 17, 2013

The gates to the world’s first national park are open again after a 16 day closure.

Visitors are encouraged to return to the region to take advantage of the crisp weather and enjoy the last few weeks of the fall season.

All of the entrances to Yellowstone National Park are open to visitors. All roads in the park are open with the exception of the section linking Tower Junction and Canyon over Dunraven Pass, which has closed for the season. Outside the park’s Northeast Entrance, US-212 remains open through Silver Gate and Cooke City east to the junction with WY-296, the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway. The road over Beartooth Pass has closed for the season.
