- Weather-permitting, the Beartooth Highway (US-212), located east of the park’s Northeast Entrance between Red Lodge, Montana, and Cooke City, Montana, will open Friday, May 26 at 8 a.m.
- Watch for quickly changing weather, including winter weather conditions with heavy snow and hazardous driving conditions.
- Temporary road closures due to winter weather can occur any time on the highway given its high elevation. Plan to have alternate routes for travel should the highway close.
- Check the Montana and Wyoming departments of transportation websites for road updates and status throughout the summer.
