It’s now the fall season in Yellowstone National Park; for many, it’s one of the most beautiful times of the year, but there are some road closures to note if you’re visiting.

A section of washed-out road between Tower Junction and the Northeast Entrance in Yellowstone National Park has been repaired and is opening at 7 tonight for the busy Fourth of July weekend.

All roads in Yellowstone National Park are now open, as crews cleared out the Dunraven Pass and opened the Tower Junction/Canyon Village section of road at 8 a.m. today.

The Yellowstone National Park road between Mammoth Hot Springs and Tower Junction is now open, as road crews remove several car-sized boulders from the roadway; the move opens access to the Park from Cooke City.

Adding to the travel woes in Yellowstone National Park: More potential landslides are forcing National Park Service officials to keep the Mammoth Hot Springs-Tower Junction road closed indefinitely while safety checks get underway. And: more snow!

The Sylvan Pass will remained closed indefinitely as Yellowstone National Park road crews work to clear four significant snow slides and more than 20 feet of snow; meanwhile, officials are also finding the heavy snowpack caused more damage in Park buildings as well.

Unless something unexpected happens on the weather front -- and there is snow in the forecast for Saturday -- the Dunraven Pass will open for auto traffic Friday, being the last section of Yellowstone National Park road to open for the Summer 2010 season.

Yellowstone National Park's East Entrance will open for the season Friday, May 7, as America's Oldest National Park begins the process of opening for the 2010 summer season.
