This document provides Yellowstone National Park's road opening and closing schedule for 2021 through 2024. The schedule details seasonal closures and openings of specific park roads for administrative travel, public vehicle access, and bicycling. Key details include designated fall and winter road closure dates, planned dates in early spring for initial opening of roads to administrative vehicles and plowing, and projected public vehicle access dates from mid-April through late May each year for segments of roads from Mammoth to various junctions and entrance areas. Planned dates are subject to change based on weather conditions.
