Plans being made to reopen Yellowstone National Park
Plans being made to reopen Yellowstone National Park
The Livingston Enterprise reports:
"Yellowstone National Park Superintendent Cam Sholly said during a conference call Tuesday a plan is being formed to reopen the park, but what that plan will look like and when it will be rolled out are still up in the air.
Sholly, who took questions from business and civic leaders from Yellowstone’s Montana gateway communities, said the park being open is good economically for the surrounding communities, but the COVID-19 situation makes it difficult to predict what might happen if the park is reopened.
The reopening won’t happen all at once, Sholly said, but will be a gradual easing of restrictions. He mentioned gradually opening campgrounds and visitors centers, with hotels closed and stores operating with reduced hours as examples of ways the park might start to open when the time comes."
