We’re officially in fire season in Yellowstone National Park, as the 190-acre Snake Fire is burning in heavy timber about three miles east of the South Entrance.

The Yellowstone South Entrance is now open for the 2013 season, allowing visitors to navigate between Grand Teton National Park and Jackson, Wy., to Grant Village, West Thumb Junction and on to Fishing Bridge and across Craig Pass to Old Faithful.

Another milestone day in Yellowstone National Park access: the Yellowstone East Entrance is open, while road crews have made significant progress in clearing the road between the South Entrance and Old Faithful.

We had snow delay the start of the Yellowstone National Park spring season, and now it threatens the fall as well, as the South Entrance, the Beartooth Pass and Craig Pass are closed because of unsafe driving conditions.

Access to Yellowstone National Park this spring has been an adventure, to say the least: snow slides have forced the closure of the Sylvan Pass this week, but things should be helped with the opening of the South Entrance tomorrow.

The South Entrance to Yellowstone National Park, a crucial link between Old Faithful, Grand Teton National Park and the rest of the Park, opens Friday at 8 a.m.
