Yellowstone CLOSED, All Gates - Flooding, Mudslides

**Janet H** · 06-13-2022, 01:59 PM

The park has been temporarily closed at all gates due to flooding and rock slides. No inbound visitor traffic will be allowed into the park until conditions stabilize and the park can assess damage to roads and bridges and other facilities. This includes visitors with lodging and camping reservations.

Sad day at our house here. Yellowstone was our big cross-country trip this summer. The videos show tons of road damage. I am thinking the park may close for the season at a minimum.

We JUST left Yellowstone Sunday afternoon. As we toured the park on Friday and Saturday, we noticed that most of the rivers and streams were filled to the brink. As we left Grant Village campground on Sunday it was lightly raining. By the time we got the the South Entrance, it was raining steadily. The rain abated slightly as we approached Jackson WY, but increased to the point of having to slow to 40 MPH by the time we entered Idaho Falls, due the persistent heavy rain.

We made it out JIT!
