Yellowstone National Park to Reopen in Phases

As states plan to ease COVID-19 lockdowns, Yellowstone National Park, which spans three states, is reopening with a phased plan. Initially, only Wyoming entrances will open due to lifted travel restrictions. Superintendent Cameron Sholly urges public cooperation to prevent COVID-19 spread by avoiding crowded areas and maintaining social distance. Park officials plan to manage crowds, but attractions like geysers may still draw many visitors. Facilities such as campgrounds and hotels will remain closed until later phases.
