Another traffic woe in Yellowstone National Park, this time out of West Yellowstone: attempts to haze bison back into the Park could affect traffic between the West Entrance and Madison Junction, so exercise caution.

Celebrate International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD) in Yellowstone National Park with ranger-led programs, activities at the the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center, and more.

Next week -- Friday, April 15, to be exact -- portions of Yellowstone National Park are set to open to the public as the Summer 2011 season starts. Slated to open: the roads from West Yellowstone and Mammoth Hot Springs to Norris, Canyon, Madison and Old Faithful. But if a government shutdown happens this Friday, there's a chance this opening will be scrapped.

Photographers are invited to share their favorite winter images of the region with the public during the Third Annual Winter Photo Festival to be held early next month in West Yellowstone.
