Yellowstone roads closed!
Got notice this morning that we should not show up for camping this Wednesday 6/15. Rain on snow event caused roads to blow out.

NPS instituted timed entry at one point on a non-through route(slough creek) to control/limit traffic so that some could visit while major construction was underway. It was in place for about a month and was a complete non-issue. It seems the NPS on the ground modified the implementation as they found they weren't completely overwhelmed w traffic.
So, I can just drive in when I want in the summer? they put an end to that when Covid started. and they kept it in place because they charge a couple of dollars for each timed entry.
I know you hate paying (yeah you've already paid your taxes :R), but if you really gave AF you could easily research what was actually happening yourself before you make stuff up to suit your world view and then post it.
Well last I read was the NP service is keeping the timed entry for the busy parks, and yes they do charge and “let” you enter at the times they have left. They said they were going to keep this indefinitely. I Never said Yellowstone only. But as busy as YS is, I’m sure that NP will be next on the list, it’s only a matter of time before they realize how much money they are missing out on.
