Yellowstone entrances closed due to flooding.

Post by RikWriter »

Flooding and landslides have closed every park entrance.

That one-lane bridge over at Tim Miner Basin got swept away, Mammoth to Gardiner has rockslides, part of the road has collapsed north of the Lamar, Silver Gate and Cooke City are flooded and some of the roads between those two have been washed out entirely. Looking bad.

Wow, that sounds terrible. Glad I don't have a vacation coming up soon.

I will be shocked if the northern loop of the park is open anytime before before the fall.

Too bad we can't just pipe all that water over to Lake Mead!
