I no longer have any interest in going to a place that is run by the liberal government. It’s just an example of how they want to preserve a piece of land and allow corporate interest and outside money. Too get away these days go out on the water or blaze your own path. Make your own meals grow vegetables if you can or form a local garden with neighbors. It’s time we all pull together and let the government remember it’s here to do what we say.
Got turned away at the entrance after coming through Cody. It was a huge bummer. The drive in and out however was beautiful as was our “plan B” drive into Jackson Hole. Staying at the historic Alpenhof. The views coming into town is too much for words. I could never get tire of seeing this landscape!
I came out of Yellowstone towards Jackson Hole eight years ago. When we were going by the Grand Tetons, we saw a guy fly fishing in the river. He had two 145lb Rottweilers with him. They were his protection from bears, mountain lions, wolves or moose. It is the real deal out there! Absolutely gorgeous, too! The center of town with the antler arches is great, and reminded me of the Clint Eastwood movie, where he was a bare knuckle brawler, was filmed. I wish I had spent some time in that town, but we had a schedule to keep, and couldn't stay.
This is the BEST news reporting I have ever seen! I know its not what you do…but PJ, you should seriously consider traveling the country’s hot spots and telling the truth when you see what you see. I’d be a patron for sure.
We were there last Fall when they were investigating that girlfriend and her boyfriend lost bodies... certain parks were closed due to that and other reasons. Alot of wildfires happened there as well, and fallen rocks. It wasn't the same. Everything keeps changing so quickly.
I was there for the first time in May. Although a few areas were closed, I loved it so much that I really want to go back in beginning Sept or so. I hope it opens back by then.
I’m a semi driver, I drove through the rainstorm last night, it was pretty intense and you couldn’t see 30 feet in front of you, as I was rolling through east ID. It was also pushing the river close to the edge of I84 in LaGrande, OR too.
Glad I was able to help close the bar with you a day after opening and the day before evacuation! Thanks for being an awesome part of my first trip to Yellowstone, Todd!! 😁🙏❤️🙏☺️
I know this isn't something you see much, but I wanted to share a few experiences I've had this year in the hopes that it helps someone in need. Love you all.
@@narsakucanada154 why on God’s toxic earth-and by the mummified body of Jesus H. Christ-did you reply to my comment with your religious, mumbo jumbo non sequitur?!?!
What a day! I got into the park at 6:30 AM. Many of the roads were out, huge rushing water. We were asked to leave at 4:00. This weather has been wild!
That reminds me of 1987 when the big fire went through. I was all about 10 years old and getting removed at 4 am due to the fires. Exiting the park all roadside to the fires. Felt that heat!
Screw the tourists. What we should be caring about is the local populations in Montana and Wyoming. A lot of people are losing homes and the area, except south toward Jackson, is not exactly an economic hotbed. Please send what you can to the American Red Cross as they respond to this disaster.
I was there at the exact same spot where you are standing when we visited last year. Yellowstone is such an amazing unique place. I hope you get out safe soon. Thanks for the helpful update.
My wife and I were leaving this Friday for Yellowstone but cancelled when we saw the news. Hope everyone out there is okay. The Today Show said there had been no deaths related to the flooding and I hope that is correct. Hope we can plan another trip there in the next year or two. We have been planning and looking forward to this trip for a long time... can't wait to see it some day.

For anyone who has vacation plans come July and August it will be better. Sorry but after the big snow storm we had Memorial day weekend this isn't surprise to the locals. Spring runoff but much bigger this year unfortunately.
You described the area so well and it’s been so long since I’ve traveled I had the urge to hop in the car and drive that way. Which I wouldn’t. I’m clear on the danger. But gosh I’d love to see that area again.
This news literally breaks my heart. I know nature does what it does but I do feel for the locals. It’s my dream to move to that area but to see all that destruction… I just feel for the locals. Thank you for delivering this information.
My dad lives in lower mammoth, says they are doing alright but gardiner is stranded and a water main got f'ed so they are recomending not drinking tap water if its from that system.
we're driving from New England next week to Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Glacier. Looks like we'll have to tweak our plans. Thanks for the helpful info!
I have found everything is bigger and better in America including, its weather system effects! I visited Yellowstone National Park (from England) at this time of year in 2019 so I really hope everyone in the area stays safe and any destructive forces from the flood are kept to a minimum🦬🦌🐺🦅
I've thought of going to the States for holiday, but have never had the time or money. My list of destinations though, should I ever be able, includes Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, The Grand Tetons, The park which has Half Dome and El Capitan, and to see the Redwoods. I don't know what else there is to see, but I'm sure I'll find something before I go. I'd also like to see a moose. There are also a lot of birds I'd like to see such as the American Robin (much bigger and more brightly coloured than ours), an Oriole, a blue jay, a Steller's Jay, an American cardinal, A flock of whooping cranes, a great blue heron, a bald eagle, a golden eagle, a condor, and some humming birds. Also painted bunting and indigo bunting are supposed to be pretty, as are the tanagers. So many birds and so much wildlife to see. Yes. I want to get there someday. If they'll have me.
@@Chompchompyerded just beware that the US is a decently large country. So, plan for plenty of time to see everything on your list and for travel. I’m only saying that because there are people who think they can see the major parts of the US in only a week or two, this is due that they don’t realize how large the US is, compared to European countries, excluding Russia.
@@Chompchompyerded Of course you are welcome! The park with Half Dome and El Capitan is Yosemite, in California. You should also look out for the Eastern Bluebird. Hope you make it over here some day.
@@scottshepard3662 It really is a breathtaking, wild and beautiful place! The States has truly stolen my heart and Yellowstone is a very special part of it🌏🌲🦅🐺🦌🦬🌲🌏
Thanks for the update. Watching from the Philippines as we enter typhoon season once again. Experienced a super typhoon in December and many places are still trying to recover.
I have never been to Montana in the spring, until now. I did not know this was abnormal until yesterday. I just assumed this was Montana in spring. East of Butte, it has rained almost every day for 2 weeks here. I came up from Lake Mead, so I will take it and be happy!
My sister, her husband and I went a few months ago. We saw old Faithful and the beauty of the park. We weren't able to see any animals until we were leaving the park. Then we saw a few elk. We were surprised there were no animals visible. We were wondering where they could have gone. We went to the other geyser and it was very cloudy. Didn't get to see much there. Sorry this happened to the park. It is one of Gods artworks! I'm sure this isn't a first time event. However, it's probably a first in our generation. Blessings.
The best times for viewing wildlife are early morning and late afternoon/evening. Perhaps you were driving around more in the middle of the day? Also, not all the areas of the park are equally populated with animals. Hayden Valley is a good spot. They usually prefer good grazing areas or forested areas, depending on the species--definitely not where there are too many people or a concentration of geysers and other geological features. They need water, so in non-flood times may be around rivers and ponds/small lakes. I hope you get to go again; if you do, suggest you go online ahead of your trip to research the best areas for animals.
Wholly crap! It's from the snow we got on Memorial day weekend. But I'm just a Wyoming resident for 42 years. Spring run off from the big snow storm. I think you lit to many matches.
I'm here in Gardiner MT right now. We are cutoff from leaving in any direction! People have been sleeping in their cars. And the ONE grocery store has been ravaged. It SUCKS
Not just rain ran off from the heavy wet snows we got on Memorial day weekend. Red Lodge Montana is totally flooded. Over 10 ft. of snow on Beartooth pass.
Wanted to be up the beartooth road right after plowing it, lost all my energy and with five dollar gas it looks like next year now. Ahh, well those mountains aren't going anywhere.
@@bhatkat true the mountains aren't going anywhere. Gas prices are ridiculous. Hope you get to go some time. I've put traveling off this summer because of gas prices. Can't afford it.
Wow. Some while back (1980s) came into Yellowstone via that NE entrance; stayed in Red Lodge (in the middle of a motorcycle rally!) and drove over that beautiful Beartooth Pass. It was July or August, I think. No snow! But visited Yellowstone in the 1970s, July, and it had snowed the week before we arrived. Stayed in a cabin at the Canyon and it was below freezing at night. This is wild country and a wild climate.
@@elainechubb971 did you go to Sturgis? Beartooth pass is so beautiful. My mom and use to ride our motorcycles over to Red Lodge and stay. She lives in Iowa and I never could get her to drive motorcycles over Beartooth. She would only go in the pickup with me driving. It scared her. You might have gone on Chief Joseph highway too. They merge up there.
Wow. Too bad can't divert the water to other parts of the country. Thanks for the update. Stay safe. Is this also due to record snows this past winter and spring as well?
Easy to divert this water to other parts of the country, simply reverse all of the actions by oil industry from the last 150 years. So easy, I'm glad the children today will take care of this for us.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing. This water flows through the Yellowstone River to the Missouri River to the Mississippi River, so it's on the wrong side of the Continental Divide to help the western states. We ordered water for the Grand Canyon, not the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone! Send it back.
Heavy wet snow storm we got on Memorial day weekend. Over 10 ft. of snow on Beartooth pass. Wyoming needed the moisture. Not flooding. We have been in drought for the last couple years. All of Wyoming's water flows out of state.
This has happened in the past, the park readjusts itself, debris cleanup begins and life resumes as before. The beaver are probably enjoying it and there will be all kinds of new stuff to build dams with and new places to do it and the wildlife know where to go and adjust to the temporary difference if it impacts them at all.
@@Diana1000Smiles Diana, I don't think this situation is a result of any of those things in the recent past. Yosemite is enormous and has been pretty well environmentally managed. Things like this happen or worse, in the wild, people or not. It's humans who react as if it isn't normal.
Because of this nature, Yellowstone is my favorite. I just hate to see the surrounding community have deal with this but I’m sure they know that this is territory for where you live. Im for one that would love to live in that area but would prepare for that. I still would never speak for one that got that their house flooded. This flooding is not something that’s annual so who can blame for not being ready for Noah’s flood lol
Great reportage. I just found your channel today and, having been to YNP, and having been with the Idaho-Montana Red Cross, I am very interested in conditions and emergency responses. Good job, keep up the good work.
IIf you have a bucket list, I would strongly advise you to add Yellowstone! Been there twice, such an incredible place with so much to see around every bend in the road.
Live in Wyoming. Yellowstone is getting loved to death. Bumper to bumper traffic. It's beautiful. Some tourist has been gored by a bison already this summer.
If you have reservation or planning a trip this is not the time to be calling in to see when the roads will be open. The north entrance road is gone in many places causing a disaster situation for the locals. Backing up their phone lines while they are stuggling with an emergency wont help. Give them time because the flooding is stil taking out bridges and building.
@@fjb4932 You're kidding? I keep asking Humans of Earth to come see Montana. It's really big and still wild in parts the robber barons haven't destroyed. Come See?
Hi Park Junkie, New Zealand Park Ranger here. We have had the same sort of crazy weather here too. Lucky haven't had to close any of our parks but came pretty close a few times in the last couple of days...especially with very heavy sea swells. Yellowstone is an amazing place from what I have seen and very much on the bucket list. You keep dry now now and stay safe and keep up the good work.
New sub here great channel hope some of your videos will be longer with more scenery ! So beautiful as I cant travel now so will see the world through your videos ........
This is crazy, we were just there two weeks ago. Had record snow fall on Memorial Day and lot of rain. Yellowstone lake was covered in ice. Seeing your video and it doesn't look like any ice on Yellowstone.
It has warmed up quite a bit and was raining (much more lightly) the week after Memorial Day. We were there all that week - it was quite a difference on the lake particularly between Tuesday and Saturday!
Yep we got a late snow storm Memorial day weekend in most mountain ranges in Northern and Central Wyoming. Not unusual to snow any month of the year in Wyoming on mountains. Wyoming is a high elevation state.
I know its not an important fact with everything happening, but the closure looks like going to be for the best part of the season and hundreds, possibly more workers will not have a summer job...and employers no revenues..! Bad for everyone involved..!
The north entrance is likely closed for at least this season. We'll get a pretty good idea of the status of the rest of the park in a day or two. I'm hoping most of the other entrances and the grand loop road will be open in a week or two. I think they'll open up as much as they can. The interesting thing from this report is how the logistics for the whole park come from the north, and that will be a big mess.
@@pfcrow well I don't see that happening that fast with 3 sides of the park in major run off. There's still a large snow pack in the mountains. Over 10ft of snow on Beartooth pass. Red Lodge Montana is totally flooded. Gallatin river is flooding. There's lots of roads to be rebuilt. And not just roads. Park sewage system and electric systems are out too.
Thank you sir for that thorough comprehensive report back to back with serious heartfelt concern. Be safe buddy. Proceed with caution. Best of luck.🤨👉🏻

It's literally the greenest I have seen it in this state since 1997. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.
Hey Opie I hear you. Great moisture for Wyoming after years of drought.
You described the area so well and it’s been so long since I’ve traveled I had the urge to hop in the car and drive that way. Which I wouldn’t. I’m clear on the danger. But gosh I’d love to see that area again.
This news literally breaks my heart. I know nature does what it does but I do feel for the locals. It’s my dream to move to that area but to see all that destruction… I just feel for the locals.
Thank you for delivering this information.
I'm not convinced "literally" is literally the correct word ...
@@fjb4932 By pointing that out your figuratively being a... :)
My dad lives in lower mammoth, says they are doing alright but gardiner is stranded and a water main got f'ed so they are recomending not drinking tap water if its from that system.
@@fjb4932 lol yeah I’m no philosopher
Lets of water over a huge lava pool. Water plus lava equals steam and that means explosion. Hope not.
So sad, I love Yellowstone and may it have better days ahead with improved weather!
Thanks for the excellent report! YNP is one of my favorite places.
Wow! Thanks for the info. Stay safe man! Get home safe!
The road going north from Gardiner is pretty washed out too in spots.
we're driving from New England next week to Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Glacier. Looks like we'll have to tweak our plans. Thanks for the helpful info!
Thank you 🙏Blessings 🌟 take care
Thanks for sharing ! How saf!
You sound like a Pro Journalist!
It seems the bison are happy about the news and the vendors must be freaking
But the animals have to deal with any polluted waters from septic issues
Thank you for this report! Stay safe.
Amazing! Such an informative, comprehensive report. Kudos.
I have found everything is bigger and better in America including, its weather system effects! I visited Yellowstone National Park (from England) at this time of year in 2019 so I really hope everyone in the area stays safe and any destructive forces from the flood are kept to a minimum🦬🦌🐺🦅
Yellowstone is a gift to all of us.....Mother Nature in all of her glory.
I've thought of going to the States for holiday, but have never had the time or money. My list of destinations though, should I ever be able, includes Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, The Grand Tetons, The park which has Half Dome and El Capitan, and to see the Redwoods. I don't know what else there is to see, but I'm sure I'll find something before I go. I'd also like to see a moose. There are also a lot of birds I'd like to see such as the American Robin (much bigger and more brightly coloured than ours), an Oriole, a blue jay, a Steller's Jay, an American cardinal, A flock of whooping cranes, a great blue heron, a bald eagle, a golden eagle, a condor, and some humming birds. Also painted bunting and indigo bunting are supposed to be pretty, as are the tanagers. So many birds and so much wildlife to see. Yes. I want to get there someday. If they'll have me.
@@Chompchompyerded just beware that the US is a decently large country. So, plan for plenty of time to see everything on your list and for travel.
I’m only saying that because there are people who think they can see the major parts of the US in only a week or two, this is due that they don’t realize how large the US is, compared to European countries, excluding Russia.
@@Chompchompyerded Of course you are welcome! The park with Half Dome and El Capitan is Yosemite, in California. You should also look out for the Eastern Bluebird. Hope you make it over here some day.
@@scottshepard3662 It really is a breathtaking, wild and beautiful place! The States has truly stolen my heart and Yellowstone is a very special part of it🌏🌲🦅🐺🦌🦬🌲🌏
Well that's better than my first concern reading the title. Good luck out there and stay safe y'all.
Yes indeed- I had a moment there when this popped up in my YT suggestions unexpectedly 🙀
Thanks for the update. Watching from the Philippines as we enter typhoon season once again. Experienced a super typhoon in December and many places are still trying to recover.
~ that's terrible , prayers for the people of the Philippines 🇵🇭🙏
❤ 🌹
Great service you are providing! Thanks!
I’m scheduled to go to Yellowstone July 10. What a bummer 😞!
Glacier is beautiful.
I have never been to Montana in the spring, until now. I did not know this was abnormal until yesterday. I just assumed this was Montana in spring. East of Butte, it has rained almost every day for 2 weeks here. I came up from Lake Mead, so I will take it and be happy!
My sister, her husband and I went a few months ago. We saw old Faithful and the beauty of the park. We weren't able to see any animals until we were leaving the park. Then we saw a few elk. We were surprised there were no animals visible. We were wondering where they could have gone. We went to the other geyser and it was very cloudy. Didn't get to see much there. Sorry this happened to the park. It is one of Gods artworks! I'm sure this isn't a first time event. However, it's probably a first in our generation. Blessings.
The best times for viewing wildlife are early morning and late afternoon/evening. Perhaps you were driving around more in the middle of the day? Also, not all the areas of the park are equally populated with animals. Hayden Valley is a good spot. They usually prefer good grazing areas or forested areas, depending on the species--definitely not where there are too many people or a concentration of geysers and other geological features. They need water, so in non-flood times may be around rivers and ponds/small lakes. I hope you get to go again; if you do, suggest you go online ahead of your trip to research the best areas for animals.
Well this little storm did you a solid on views and outreach! Cool channel! Subscribed!
It’s actually because Norris lake is showing temperature increases and sulfur emulsion at Norris junction. I’m In WYO Natl guard .
I slept at a Holiday Inn ...
Wholly crap! It's from the snow we got on Memorial day weekend. But I'm just a Wyoming resident for 42 years. Spring run off from the big snow storm. I think you lit to many matches.
the buffalo reacting happily at 2:40 realizing they finally have the park to themselves :) wheeeee! stay save everyone
I'm here in Gardiner MT right now. We are cutoff from leaving in any direction! People have been sleeping in their cars. And the ONE grocery store has been ravaged. It SUCKS
Intending for safety for you and others. Use your imagination ( not fears) for best possible outcome
🙏
wow that is something with the road wash out. Thanks for the update. Hope they can get all out safe.
Thank you.. subscribed from Detroit. My Grandson is leaving Mt. RUSHMORE, heading your way !!
Not just rain ran off from the heavy wet snows we got on Memorial day weekend. Red Lodge Montana is totally flooded. Over 10 ft. of snow on Beartooth pass.
Wanted to be up the beartooth road right after plowing it, lost all my energy and with five dollar gas it looks like next year now. Ahh, well those mountains aren't going anywhere.
@@bhatkat well next year gas will be ten dollars a gallon if it is not rationed . Build back better my ass
@@bhatkat true the mountains aren't going anywhere. Gas prices are ridiculous. Hope you get to go some time. I've put traveling off this summer because of gas prices. Can't afford it.
Wow. Some while back (1980s) came into Yellowstone via that NE entrance; stayed in Red Lodge (in the middle of a motorcycle rally!) and drove over that beautiful Beartooth Pass. It was July or August, I think. No snow! But visited Yellowstone in the 1970s, July, and it had snowed the week before we arrived. Stayed in a cabin at the Canyon and it was below freezing at night. This is wild country and a wild climate.
@@elainechubb971 did you go to Sturgis? Beartooth pass is so beautiful. My mom and use to ride our motorcycles over to Red Lodge and stay. She lives in Iowa and I never could get her to drive motorcycles over Beartooth. She would only go in the pickup with me driving. It scared her. You might have gone on Chief Joseph highway too. They merge up there.
Wow. Too bad can't divert the water to other parts of the country. Thanks for the update. Stay safe. Is this also due to record snows this past winter and spring as well?
Easy to divert this water to other parts of the country, simply reverse all of the actions by oil industry from the last 150 years. So easy, I'm glad the children today will take care of this for us.
$40 billion would go a long way toward a pipeline.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing. This water flows through the Yellowstone River to the Missouri River to the Mississippi River, so it's on the wrong side of the Continental Divide to help the western states. We ordered water for the Grand Canyon, not the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone! Send it back.
Heavy wet snow storm we got on Memorial day weekend. Over 10 ft. of snow on Beartooth pass. Wyoming needed the moisture. Not flooding. We have been in drought for the last couple years. All of Wyoming's water flows out of state.
Lake Mead could def use it.
Thanks for update, well done.
Thank you so very much. We were just headed there from Mlps. Mn.
Wow! Just unbelievable! I hope that things get sorted out and the park opens up soon!
they will be opening up a giant mud hole
This has happened in the past, the park readjusts itself, debris cleanup begins and life resumes as before. The beaver are probably enjoying it and there will be all kinds of new stuff to build dams with and new places to do it and the wildlife know where to go and adjust to the temporary difference if it impacts them at all.
Some Americans never do understand the consequences of overpopulation and disrespecting our Environment.
@@Diana1000Smiles Diana, I don't think this situation is a result of any of those things in the recent past. Yosemite is enormous and has been pretty well environmentally managed. Things like this happen or worse, in the wild, people or not. It's humans who react as if it isn't normal.
Not on this scale, the north entrance is completly stranded because the roads in and out being swept away
Because of this nature, Yellowstone is my favorite. I just hate to see the surrounding community have deal with this but I’m sure they know that this is territory for where you live. Im for one that would love to live in that area but would prepare for that. I still would never speak for one that got that their house flooded.
This flooding is not something that’s annual so who can blame for not being ready for Noah’s flood lol
@@Silverstar129 it's happened before, it will happen again. Yellowstone is always in flux, and nature isn't kind.
great reporting ! 👍and scenic shots.
Great reporting, thank you.
Stay safe friend.
Glad we are getting the water other states could use some too like lake Mead in Vegas
Thank you for the update that's exactly what I wanted to know about
Great reportage. I just found your channel today and, having been to YNP, and having been with the Idaho-Montana Red Cross, I am very interested in conditions and emergency responses. Good job, keep up the good work.
IIf you have a bucket list, I would strongly advise you to add Yellowstone! Been there twice, such an incredible place with so much to see around every bend in the road.
It was on my list to hopefully visit this year, last time I was there it was to help put out fires in 88.
While you're out here, check out Glacier National Park, too. You can watch the glaciers melt.
Live in Wyoming. Yellowstone is getting loved to death. Bumper to bumper traffic. It's beautiful. Some tourist has been gored by a bison already this summer.
@@DB-yj3qc really? What branch did you work for?
Wow.....and we just made plans to go Jun 22nd.....bumer :(
Never been on this channel before and I had to double check to see if I was on a news channel. Great reporting!
Glad I visited when I had a chance to Thank you for the heads-up about the park
The bison are happy. The people are leaving.
If you have reservation or planning a trip this is not the time to be calling in to see when the roads will be open. The north entrance road is gone in many places causing a disaster situation for the locals. Backing up their phone lines while they are stuggling with an emergency wont help. Give them time because the flooding is stil taking out bridges and building.
Will they act the same way when all of the dead trees from wildfires of the past were such an eye sore?
@@symbologee who do you mean by "they"
@@Silverstar129 UN?
@@symbologee "United Nations"? Its late ya gonna have spell it out for me like i'm 8 now
Wow! Thanks for this update
I was so lucky went to Yellowstone National Park on weekend of June 4th 5th 6th and pass by Montana too
Thank you for passing by Montana.
If Only we could get the rest to keep going, passing by ...
Aw, that's sweet. 💙 I'm happy for you, too.
@@fjb4932 You're kidding? I keep asking Humans of Earth to come see Montana. It's really big and still wild in parts the robber barons haven't destroyed. Come See?
@@fjb4932 same here! Visit and leave please. Bozeman has been ruined by Californians
Hi Park Junkie, New Zealand Park Ranger here. We have had the same sort of crazy weather here too. Lucky haven't had to close any of our parks but came pretty close a few times in the last couple of days...especially with very heavy sea swells.
Yellowstone is an amazing place from what I have seen and very much on the bucket list.
You keep dry now now and stay safe and keep up the good work.
Are the Duttons ok ?
Beth is kicking a** and taking names. She's Rip's problem now.
New sub here great channel hope some of your videos will be longer with more scenery ! So beautiful as I cant travel now so will see the world through your videos ........
Not the super volcano going critical next chance I will visit again... a spectacular and awe-inspiring place.
This is crazy, we were just there two weeks ago. Had record snow fall on Memorial Day and lot of rain. Yellowstone lake was covered in ice. Seeing your video and it doesn't look like any ice on Yellowstone.
It melted with the rain … adding to cause of the flooding
It has warmed up quite a bit and was raining (much more lightly) the week after Memorial Day. We were there all that week - it was quite a difference on the lake particularly between Tuesday and Saturday!
I love extreme weather in yellow stone. Besides this one
Yep we got a late snow storm Memorial day weekend in most mountain ranges in Northern and Central Wyoming. Not unusual to snow any month of the year in Wyoming on mountains. Wyoming is a high elevation state.
I know its not an important fact with everything happening, but the closure looks like going to be for the best part of the season and hundreds, possibly more workers will not have a summer job...and employers no revenues..!
Bad for everyone involved..!
Except the fauna and flora.☺
Especially bad for the entire Human race, too. Climate changes will cause more radical patterns and, that's being proven faster than expected. ♡
The north entrance is likely closed for at least this season. We'll get a pretty good idea of the status of the rest of the park in a day or two. I'm hoping most of the other entrances and the grand loop road will be open in a week or two. I think they'll open up as much as they can. The interesting thing from this report is how the logistics for the whole park come from the north, and that will be a big mess.
@@pfcrow well I don't see that happening that fast with 3 sides of the park in major run off. There's still a large snow pack in the mountains. Over 10ft of snow on Beartooth pass. Red Lodge Montana is totally flooded. Gallatin river is flooding. There's lots of roads to be rebuilt. And not just roads. Park sewage system and electric systems are out too.
Yep, it is all about the money. Mother nature will cure herself as she always does.
Great video…Very informative…Thanks… Plus awesome helmet hair😉!!!
Thank you sir for that thorough comprehensive report back to back with serious heartfelt concern. Be safe buddy. Proceed with caution. Best of luck.🤨👉🏻
