About this file
This document provides the road opening and closing schedule for Yellowstone National Park from 2021 through 2024. It outlines the seasonal closure and reopening dates for various road segments within the park. In the fall, all interior roads close by early to mid-November, while the Beartooth Pass Highway and Dunraven Pass close in early October. In the spring, different road sections reopen starting in early to mid-March following snow plowing, with all remaining roads reopen to over-snow travel by March 15. The schedule also lists the dates various road segments are projected to reopen to administrative and then public vehicle travel between mid-April through late May each year, though all dates are subject to change depending on weather conditions. Relatedly, the federal contract opportunity seeks diesel fuel deliveries for Yellowstone National Park under Solicitation 140P1420Q0092 issued by the Department of the Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region.
