On the news last night there was a report of changes in Yellowstone National Park.  It was late and so I didn’t really pay much attention yet, my curiousity being peeked I decided to look up news for Yellowstone this morning. I found that indeed there are some tid bits of information that will be of value to the visitor of Yellowstone in the coming weeks and months. 

Yellowstone unlike many of the national parks is accessible in the winter snowmobile and snow sled.  Many of the roads that and sights that are closed to automobiles due to ice and snow are open to the public here and that means that accomodations and restaurants are open in the winter as well.

When the spring hits there is a short period of time when the roads are closed for plowing and over the snow vehicles are no longer permissible in the park. Lodging inside the park will close for a few month however other lodging around the entrances outside the park are open and available all year.

For your information the following facilities will close at on March 11:  warming huts at Madison, Canyon, Fishing Bridge, Old Faithful and West Thumb; fuel stations at Old Faithful, Fishing Bridge and Canyon; and the Old Faithful Visitor Center.
