A devastating flood through Yellowstone has forced officials to shutter the park to tourists, but portions of the park could open soon, officials say.
The park shut all five of its entrance gates to incoming tourists Monday after an “extremely hazardous” flood destroyed the area. Buildings were washed away, roads broke into pieces and thousands of people were evacuated from the park.
After days of repairing damage and preparing to reopen the park, officials said Friday that part of the park could reopen soon, even as more rain and bad weather could bring additional flooding to the area.
