Yellowstone NP Closing Winter Roads To Prepare For 2023 Summer Traveling Season

The snow season is about to end inside the nation’s first national park.

Snowplow crews within Yellowstone National Park have closed almost every road in the north section of the park to snowmobile and snow coach traffic.

The roads that connect the north to the northeast entrance to the park remain open year round to motor vehicle traffic.

The road from Canyon Village to Fishing Bridge Junction will close this coming Sunday night and all remaining groomed roads as well as the other 3 entrances to the park will close on Wednesday, March 15th.

Crews are already working on removing snow off of the roads on the northwest side of the park.

The west entrance as well as roads from Mammoth Hot Springs to Old Faithful and from Norris Junction to Canyon Village are scheduled to open to motor vehicle traffic on April 21st.

The East entrance is scheduled to open on May 5th and the South entrance on May 12th.
