You will be able to come up through the eastern, western and southern entrances to the Park in the next few weeks. The 2 northern entrances will be shut down. You won't be able to use major parts of the northern loop section of the grand loop. The news today, the 15th is worse. Looking like other entrances might be closed longer than I initially guessed.

I absolutely agree with your comment! Thank you.

[@wakaywa]

My parents worked in Yellowstone for 20 years so, of course, I spent a lot of time in Yellowstone over the years. They lived in Gardner and worked at Mammoth. Hard to believe the road between the two will be closed for an indefinite period of time. This is a nightmare for hospitality. No food supplies coming in for now. No travel between Lake and Canyon, among others. Hotel reservations are total horror. ALOT of reimbursements. So, if I had reservations for last night and couldn’t get there, when I can travel within the park, when I do arrive at the hotel, I wouldn’t have a room. It’s already been reserved by someone else. To get in the park in a couple of years we had to make our reservations two years in advance, there was absolutely nothing available next summer. My heart goes out to all.

I can pretty much say with high confidence the northern access road into Yellowstone NPS will be closed for at least 2 years or longer. They may have to reroute the road further away from the river to avoid another disastrous flood. If so, that would further lengthen environmental review process and delaying reconstruction. Let that be a learning lesson not to build roads and buildings so close to any water area.

A road built along the same path as a river

[@theinternational397]

Yellowstone area weather and environment allows for construction one month per year. Couple that with slow progress of public works, lack of funding and environmental lawsuits that’ll inevitably happen it’ll be at best case scenario decades, not years, but decades before that road is repaired into a condition where 2-way traffic could flow uninterrupted. It takes 10 years to repave 15 miles of road inside Yellowstone. At that rate it’ll take 3 decades for the road to be rebuilt and that’s a best case scenario if they could even secure funding, in other words anyone trying to access the park from Bozeman in the next 30 years minimum is out of luck.

God floods yellowstone, evacuation ensues, then boom. That would be something written down for thousands of years! Lets just hope that isn't the case though. You all take care, and stay safe out there=)

[@jamieingels1190]

For sure. If it's gonna go boom, let's hope it goes when nobody is in the park.

[@joedoe6444]

as 99% of the tourist are idiots with no common scents or manners, i think God would leave them in place for the big event. at least i hope so.

Maybe it’s a sign?

[@lionheartglass]

Maybe lake Powell will get a boost:)

[@russlehman2070]

No. The Yellowstone river runs into the Missouri.

You Should have taken Geography, instead of gender studies, in school.

@@kenchiison4570 I studied to be a social worker in college but then majored in fine art. I've been a professional full time working artist for 27 years. Everyone can't be expert at everything. I can't imagine why you felt the need to be snarky. I'm a family man, small business owner and busy living the American dream;)

[@kenchiison4570]

@@lionheartglass It's just that people never educate themselves. As with the global warming hoax, these experts have predicted 41 major events that have never materialized. Yet people believe the experts. If you are not versed in the subject, it's best to stay out of the way. Didn't want to be sparky and don't feel bad either. There are plenty of other Geography experts on here that think because Yellowstone is on the top of the map, the water automatically flows to the bottom of the map.

So um, they build that highway basically in the river bed…?

[@gg-wk2ww]

Worse than Northern ca highway number 1, years back, took a couple years to fix after all the mudslides
