Yellowstone opened for the season and then promptly flooded June 13 in catastrophic floods. The floods caused a brief closure and caused roadways and infrastructure to be damaged.
Here are a few of the sights before the weather wreaked havoc.
May 27 is typically when Yellowstone is fully open, with most restaurants/inns/etc opening before memorial day. Visitors begin to flock to the national park as the roads open, and the weather warms.
The national park is important because… has these features (list those poi in pictures) and has been open since year. Is the first??? Park created in year???
Famous park drawing xxx of people per year.
Visitors mostly flock to the park in these months (summer months?) . Locals and savvy travelers beat the bulk of the crowds going before peak season.
Visiting May 29-June 3, roads were still being cleared of snow, but all were open by the end of our trip. Our trip followed north entrance to… route.
There was some sign of labor shortages in Yellowstone. May be due to pandemic or earliness in the season.
End: Roads are still being repaired and half the loop is currently closed. Road conditions can be checked here. Travel plans can be made here.
Tickets can be purchased here. Make reservations ahead of time.
