Tongue River Canyon Trail is Now Open

On Thursday, April 23, a large band of rock broke into slabs and fell on the Tongue River Canyon Trail, blocking access and causing significant damage, prompting a temporary closure of the trail. According to the Bighorn National Forest Office, the trail has been reopened, as crews have built a new tread through and around the slide area.

Although the trail is now open, livestock is not recommended at this time due to soft shoulders and a narrow path. Additional improvements to the trail are planned to bring it back to full standard.
