- The opening of the Beartooth Highway (US-212), located east of the park’s Northeast Entrance between Red Lodge, Montana, and Cooke City, Montana, is delayed.
- The highway was scheduled to open on Friday, May 24, but will remain closed through the weekend due to winter weather conditions, significant snowfall and hazardous driving conditions.
- Currently, there is a winter storm warning in effect for the area and a forecast for heavy snowfall of 1-2 feet with winds gusting as high as 35 mph.
- Temporary travel restrictions or closures can occur at any time without notice. Have flexible travel plans and watch for quickly changing weather conditions.
- The highway will open to the public as soon as conditions allow. Check for road status and updates on the Montana and Wyoming departments of transportation websites.
