A meeting designed to address the possibility of plowing Hwy. 212 between Cooke City and the Chief Joseph Highway, allowing winter access to Cody and better Yellowstone National Park access, didn't accomplish much as the facts needed to make an intelligent decision -- like the cost of plowing or the potential economic impact -- weren't presented.

A proposal to plow U.S. Hwy. 212 between Cooke City and Pilot Creek would open Yellowstone National Park to the east -- providing alternative access from Cody and Billings -- but snowmobilers oppose the move.

A year since a swarm of earthquakes hit an area right outside Yellowstone National Park, sensors have detected a series of small (under 1.7 on the Richter scale) micro earthquakes in roughly the same area over the last week. Is this just a burp, foretelling of another swarm, or more?

Cody and Wyoming officials have been fighting for years to maintain snowcoach service and snowmobile access from Yellowstone National Park's East Entrance, but the private market may end up being much more influential than any National Park Service bureaucrat.

Known as the House of Horns, the Antler House or the House of Antlers, this structure was one of many early attempts by National Park Service to draw visitors to Yellowstone National Park. The first in an occasional series of looks back at Lost Yellowstone.

Barring any late-season snows, the Beartooth Highway is expected to open May 28 -- and you're invited to the party.

A significant investment in Cody's Yellowstone Regional Airport both in terms of infrastructure and subsidies should make flying to Yellowstone National Park a little easier -- at least this summer.

As the rest of the world and the Western United States deal with high-profile volcanic and seismic activity, the natural question is whether the Yellowstone supervolcano is ready to blow. So far there's little sign of anything like that on the horizon.

With the deadline for input into a new Winter Use Plan for Yellowstone National Park fast approaching, government entities are staking out their positions, with Wyoming's Park County pushing for unguided Park access.

A group is petitioning the National Park Service to plow the highway between West Yellowstone and Old Faithful year-round, much the same as the road between Gardiner and Cooke City is plowed all winter long.
