RED LODGE, MT- Yellowstone National Park announced on Wednesday in a Facebook post that weather-permitting, the Beartooth Highway will open Friday May 26th at 8 AM.
Beartooth Highway (US-212), is located east of the park’s Northeast Entrance between Red Lodge, Montana, and Cooke City, Montana.
People are advised to watch for quickly changing weather, including winter conditions with heavy snow and hazardous driving conditions.
Temporary road closures can happen at any time on the highway due to snow and its high elevation.
