The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2) awarded a $1.51 million Cooperative Agreement to Wyoming State Parks & Cultural Resources under the Good Neighbor Authority program (CFDA 10.691) on July 11, 2025. The agreement funds cooperative efforts between the Forest Service and the state agency to restore public access and infrastructure along the Morrison Jeep Trail, which includes the Clarks Fork Canyon Road (National Forest System Road 119) and Morrison Road (National Forest System Road 120). These routes were damaged during the 2022 Greater Yellowstone Floods. Work under the agreement will involve road realignments, routine maintenance, and necessary repairs to restore safe passage on these federal lands.

The project extends through June 4, 2030, providing a multi-year timeframe for phased restoration and reconstruction activities. Under the Good Neighbor Authority program, Wyoming State Parks & Cultural Resources is authorized to conduct these land management and recreation access services on federal lands through a negotiated cooperative agreement, enabling the state to increase the pace and scale of post-disaster recovery while enhancing recreational opportunities across jurisdictional boundaries.
