Yellowstone National Park News Release

2002-2003 YELLOWSTONE PARK WINTER SEASON UPDATE
MAMMOTH TO NORRIS ROAD CLOSED

Jan 13, 2003 ~ PR 03-05

Yellowstone National Park Superintendent Suzanne Lewis announced today that the road from Mammoth Hot Springs to Norris Geyser Basin will close to snowmobile and snowcoach use until further notice because of deteriorating road conditions. One exception will be that rubber-tracked snowcoaches only will be allowed on this section of roadway.

Even with recent snow accumulations, there is still very little snow on many park roads. Recent warm weather has caused roads to continue to deteriorate. All operators are asked to use extra caution and lower speeds in areas where less snow has accumulated for their safe travel.

The road from the park's North Entrance at Gardiner, Montana, to the Northeast Entrance at Cooke City, Montana, is open all year to automobile traffic.

All visitors should be aware that due to weather and road conditions, other park roads could close at any time for safety purposes.

Visitors are encouraged to call park headquarters at: 307-344-7381 for the latest road and weather conditions.
