Yellowstone National Park To: All Employees, Partners, News Media From: Strategic Communications, Office of the Superintendent, Yellowstone National Park Updated: 06/14/2022 6:42 p.m. Northern portion of Yellowstone National Park likely to remain closed for a substantial length of time due to severelydamaged, impacted infrastructure Visitors traveling to park in coming weeks must stay informed about current situation, road and weather conditions Updates • Aerial assessments conducted Monday, June 13, by Yellowstone National Park show major damage to multiple sections of road between the North Entrance (Gardiner, Montana), Mammoth Hot Springs, Lamar Valley and Cooke City, Montana, near the Northeast Entrance. • Many sections of road in these areas are completely gone and will require substantial time and effort to reconstruct. • The National Park Service will make every effort to repair these roads as soon as possible; however, it is probable that road sections in northern Yellowstone will not reopen this season due to the time required for repairs. • To prevent visitors from being stranded in the park if conditions worsen, the park in coordination with Yellowstone National Park Lodges made the decision to have all visitors move out of overnight accommodations (lodging and campgrounds) and exit the park. • All entrances to Yellowstone National Park remain temporarily CLOSED while the park waits for flood waters to recede and can conduct evaluations on roads, bridges and wastewater treatment facilities to ensure visitor and employee safety. • There will be no inbound visitor traffic at any of the five entrances into the park, including visitors with lodging and camping reservations, until conditions improve and park infrastructure is evaluated. • The park’s southern loop appears to be less impacted than the northern roads and teams will assess damage to determine when opening of the southern loop is feasible. This closure will extend minimally through next weekend. • Due to the northern loop being unavailable for visitors, the park is analyzing how many visitors can safely visit the southern loop once it’s safe to reopen. This will likely mean implementation of some type of temporary reservation system to prevent gridlock and reduce impacts on park infrastructure. • At this time, there are no known injuries nor deaths to have occurred in the park as a result of the unprecedented flooding. • Effective immediately, Yellowstone’s backcountry is temporarily closed while crews assist campers (five known groups in the northern range) and assess damage to backcountry campsites, trails and bridges. • The National Park Service, surrounding counties and states of Montana and Wyoming are working with the park’s gateway communities to evaluate flooding impacts and provide immediate support to residents and visitors. • Water levels are expected to recede today in the afternoon; however, additional flood events are possible through this weekend. Known damage and issues • Known damage (at this time) to some park roads includes: - North Entrance (Gardiner, Montana) to Mammoth Hot Springs: road washed out in multiple places, significant rockslide at Gardner Canyon - Tower Junction to Northeast Entrance: segment of road washed out near Soda Butte Picnic Area, mudslides, downed trees - Tower-Roosevelt to Canyon Junction (Dunraven Pass): mudslide on road - Canyon Junction to Fishing Bridge: Segment of road just south of Canyon Junction potentially compromised and closed for evaluation • The power continues to be out in multiple locations in the park. • Water and wastewater systems at Canyon Village and Mammoth Hot Springs are being impacted by flooding conditions and are being monitored. Stay Informed • Visitors planning to travel to Yellowstone in the upcoming weeks should stay informed about the current situation and pay close attention to the status of road and weather conditions. • Stay informed about up-to-date road conditions in Yellowstone. To receive Yellowstone road alerts on your mobile phone, text "82190" to 888-777 (an automatic text reply will confirm receipt and provide instructions). Call (307) 344-2117 for a recorded message. • Find news releases about the incident on the park’s website. • Find photos on Flickr of this extremely hazardous situation in Yellowstone National Park. • Yellowstone will continue to communicate about this hazardous situation as more information is available
Yellowstone National Park update, Monday, June 13, 2022, 2:00PM: The National Park Service has temporarily closed all entrance roads into the Park to all recreational use due to public safety risks caused by extremely high water levels, flooding, mud and rock slides, washed out bridges, impassible roads, and extremely hazardous conditions. Power is out at many locations in the park. Effective immediately, no inbound visitor traffic will be allowed into the park until conditions stabilize and the park can assess damage to roads and bridges and other facilities. This includes visitors with lodging and camping reservations. Visitors currently in the park are being evacuated. Rainfall is expected to continue for the next several days. Flood levels measured on the Yellowstone River are beyond record levels.

"Our first priority has been to evacuate the northern section of the park where we have multiple road and bridge failures, mudslides and other issues. The community of Gardiner is currently isolated, and we are working with the county and State of Montana to provide necessary support to residents, who are currently without water and power in some areas. Due to predictions of higher flood levels in areas of the park’s southern loop, in addition to concerns with water and wastewater systems, we will begin to move visitors in the southern loop out of the park later today in coordination with our in-park business partners. We will not know timing of the park’s reopening until flood waters subside and we're able to assess the damage throughout the park. It is likely that the northern loop will be closed for a substantial amount of time. I appreciate the efforts of the Yellowstone team and partners to safely evacuate areas of the park and of our gateway community partners who are helping us through this major event. We appreciate the support offered by the Department of Interior, National Park Service and the Montana and Wyoming governors." All entrances to Yellowstone National Park CLOSED temporarily due to heavy flooding, rockslides, extremely hazardous conditions Yellowstone National Park media release, June 13, 2022Stay informed about road status and weather conditions • Effective immediately, all entrances to Yellowstone National Park are temporarily CLOSED due to substantial flooding, rockslides and mudslides on roadways from recent unprecedented amounts of rainfall and flooding. • Effective immediately, no inbound visitor traffic will be allowed into the park until conditions stabilize and the park can assess damage to roads and bridges and other facilities.
