Yellowstone NP roads and entrance closures

[BB_TX]

Anyone heading to YNP any time soon need to check road and entrance closures. As of today all entrances are closed due to flooding and washed out roadways. And looks to be a long term problem.

Known damage (at this time) to some park roads includes:

North Entrance (Gardiner, Montana) to Mammoth Hot Springs: road washed out in multiple places, significant rockslide at Gardner Canyon

Tower Junction to Northeast Entrance: segment of road washed out near Soda Butte Picnic Area, mudslides, downed trees

Tower-Roosevelt to Canyon Junction (Dunraven Pass): mudslide on road

Canyon Junction to Fishing Bridge: Segment of road just south of Canyon Junction potentially compromised and closed for evaluation

The power continues to be out in multiple locations in the park.

Water and wastewater systems at Canyon Village and Mammoth Hot Springs are being impacted by flooding conditions and are being monitored.

That's not going to be fixed by a pothole crew...

Latest word is that the North entrance will not open again this season. Because the remaining entrances can't handle the flow, there will have to be some kind of reservation system implemented for the remainder of the year.

Wow! What a shame.

Unfortunately the water can't be sent to California.
