JACKSON HOLE, WYO – Remember that heads up about roads in Yellowstone closing for the winter next Monday? Yeah, well, Mother Nature is doing her best to move that timeline up a bit.
Early season storms are making it tough for snowplows to keep roads in Yellowstone open already today. With the forecast calling for more of the same over the weekend, authorities in the nation’s first national park are saying they may have to close the gates earlier than 8am on Monday, November 6.
If you travel plans include a vehicle trip through Yellowstone, call ahead and get the latest conditions.
