We've already told you about the delays related to snow on the Beartooth Pass, but there are more snow-related delays in Yellowstone National Park over the next two weeks, including a tardy opening of the Dunraven Pass and a temporary closure of the Craig Pass.

The heavy snowpack in Yellowstone National Park continues to impact operations, as the spring opening of the Norris campground has been pushed back a week because of high snow and water levels.

More bear news from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, this time from the Park itself: an overly aggressive black bear was euthanized yesterday by the National Park Service, who ruled out live capture and relocation as options to deal with a bear that had not gone after humans -- only their food. 

That was quick: after being discovered Tuesday afternoon, the Slough Creek Fire was totally contained by the evening, limited in size to a single acre.
