BILLINGS - If you're heading to Yellowstone National Park this weekend, keep in mind you may have to stop.

Park Rangers are setting-up safety and sobriety checkpoints on Highway 191 starting Friday and running through Sunday. Law enforcement will be looking for impaired drivers and other safety violations.

Yellowstone Park Rangers say in 2007 there were almost 600 vehicle accidents in the park, two resulting in fatalities.
