Yellowstone’s Winter Season Winding Down

Roads in the interior of Yellowstone National Park have begun to close to oversnow travel, marking the end of the winter season. All interior roads will close on March 15th and will then start re-opening on April 15 for the 2022 summer season. The park can always be accessed year from Gardiner, Montana, up to Mammoth Hot Springs, and then out through Lamar Valley to Cooke City, Montana. I haven’t posted a bison photo lately and decided to share this one from a few winters ago. I had hoped the bison would walk in front of this section of snow as I felt it would be a great background. Most of the time, the animals don’t do what I hope, but on this day, the bison was cooperative.
