With spring opening scheduled for next Friday, traditional income tax day (4/15), Congress and nature are vying for which one can cause the National Park Service the greater worries. It seems that the feared park closures have been averted, at least for another week, but Mother Nature has dumped a lot more snow on the park roads, and snow movers have been working furiously to ready them for the scheduled April 15th opening.

So anyone planning to visit Yellowstone this month still needs to plan carefully and call the information line for park roads—307-344-2117—to find out what roads will be open and when. Note that facilities such as restaurants, hotels, and campgrounds will be gradually opening in the next several weeks. Call 307-344-7381 for general park information.
