When do the roads open up in Yellowstone?
Trying to plan a trip thru Yellowstone for late April. We are traveling form Portland, OR to STL, MO and wanted to travel thru Yellowstone and the Blackhills. We will NOT have our camper but wanted to...

West Entrance road opens April 18th. East Entrance Road opens May 2, and the South Entrance opens May 9th. Road between Canyon and Tower opens May 23rd as does the Beartooth Highway. Even though the roads are listed as open it is with a disclaimer of "weather permitting". Another problem with your plan is even if the road is open, the campgrounds along those roads are likely to be closed. Don't even think about entering a closed road, campground or attraction. The fines are prohibitive and they aren't the least bit forgiving.
