GARDINER, Mont. — A one-mile stretch of the road at Yellowstone National Park’s North Entrance in Gardiner, Montana, will close Aug. 16-17 as crews remove a piece of heavy equipment currently in Gardner Canyon.
The road is currently open only to foot and bicycle traffic.
This closure will include a quarter mile on either side of the roadway and a section of the Gardner River.
Park officials say that anglers who want to fish the Gardner River may do so from the confluence with the Yellowstone River to the section of the Gardner River located directly east of the North Entrance station.
On Aug.18, access will be available again by bicycle (on paved roadways) and foot through the North Entrance to fish and hike in areas not identified as closed.
The closure may be lifted earlier if the work is completed ahead of schedule.
Visitors are reminded that the North Entrance Road that connects Gardiner, Montana, to Mammoth Hot Springs is closed and not drivable due to several washed-out road segments from the historic flood event in June.
