Yellowstone National Park’s Northern Loop Reopens!
Yellowstone National Park reopened the northern loop on Saturday, July 2, 2022, after roughly two weeks since historic flooding and damage caused the entire park to shut down while around 10,000 people evacuated the area. The northern loop will be accessible through the southern entrances at West Yellowstone, and at Cody and Jackson, Wyoming.
The northern entrance and northeast entrance roads remain closed.
