- Weather-permitting, the Beartooth Highway (US-212), located east of the park’s Northeast Entrance between Red Lodge, Montana, and Cooke City, Montana, is projected to open in its entirety Saturday, June 1.
- Currently, the highway is partially open for 19 miles from Red Lodge, Montana, to Vista Point.
- Crews are working hard to plow through wet, heavy snow that is approximately 6 feet deep on the highway.
- The highway was originally scheduled to open May 24 but has remained closed due to a significant storm that brought winter weather conditions, significant snowfall and hazardous driving conditions.
- Once the highway opens, temporary travel restrictions or closures can occur at any time without notice. Have flexible travel plans and watch for quickly changing weather conditions.
- Check for road status and updates on the Montana and Wyoming departments of transportation websites.
