COOKE CITY, Mont. — The Beartooth Highway (US-212), located east of Yellowstone National Park’s Northeast Entrance between Red Lodge, Montana, and Cooke City, Montana, opened today, June 9.

According to Yellowstone National Park, over the last several days, crews cleared a substantial amount of snow from the highway and temporary closures due to winter weather can occur at any time.

Nighttime closures, Monday through Thursday from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., from Pilot Index Overlook east to Beartooth Lake Campground will be implemented beginning today.

“This is a hard closure and traffic will not be allowed to pass through during these times,” says the park.

Closures will be in effect through mid-October for ongoing highway construction.
