YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, Wyo. – Roads opened Dec. 15 in Yellowstone National Park for travel by snowcoaches and snowmobiles.

Visitors will be able to travel the park’s interior roads on commercially-guided snowmobiles and snowcoaches from the North, West and South Entrances. Visitors who have proper permits can also take non-commercially guided snowmobile trips. 

The East Entrance Road over Sylvan Pass will open for oversnow travel on Sunday, Dec. 22. 

The road from the park’s North Entrance at Gardiner through Mammoth Hot Springs to Cooke City is plowed and open to wheeled-vehicle travel all year. 

Plan ahead for your winter adventure. In addition to unique winter travel opportunities, Yellowstone also offers a variety of activities such as ranger-led programs, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.  

Weather is extremely unpredictable and road closures or delays can occur with little or no warning. Please come prepared. Carry personal emergency survival equipment and dress appropriately for outside activities in extremely cold weather.   

Lodging and services are limited during winter. The following list highlights what winter visitor services are available:

Old Faithful 

Old Faithful Visitor Education Center, Geyser Grill, Bear Den Gift Shop and Ski Shop, Old Faithful Snow Lodge and Cabins, Obsidian Dining Room
