As winter gets closer, Yellowstone National Park starts closing some roads to keep everyone safe during snowy months. Starting in mid-October, roads in the park close little by little, and by early November, most roads are shut down for cars. This helps protect the park when snow and ice make driving dangerous. If you’re planning a visit in the fall, it’s important to check the Yellowstone road closure schedule so you’re not surprised by a closed road.
But don’t worry! When the roads close for cars, it’s because they are getting ready for winter activities like snowmobiling and snowcoach tours. Later in the winter, you’ll be able to explore Yellowstone on these special tours and see places like Old Faithful covered in snow.
If you find yourself visiting in October or November when the park roads are closed, you can head over to Island Park. It’s right outside Yellowstone and has fewer people, but still lots of fun things to do like hiking, fishing, and ATV riding. Island Park stays open when the park roads are closed, so it’s a great spot to enjoy the outdoors without worrying about closures.
Be sure to check the road updates, pack for different types of weather, and plan some activities in Island Park for a fun fall trip!
