Roads & Routes
Seasonal Road Information
Summer:
Park Areas, Entrances and Roads open on different dates. Detailed information is listed on the Opening and Closing Road Schedules Page.
The Summer Season runs from approximately mid-April to the beginning of November.
Once an Entrance / Road opens, it is open 24 hours. The only exceptions are caused by road construction and weather-related restrictions.
Winter:
The season runs from approximately mid-December to mid-March.
The road from the North Entrance at Gardiner, Montana, to the Northeast Entrance at Silver Gate and Cooke City, Montana, is open to wheeled-vehicle use year-round. Snow tires and/or chains may be required. Only over-snow vehicles are allowed on other park roads.
Please Note: The section of the Beartooth Highway (Highway 212), between the junction of Highway 296 and Red Lodge, Montana, closes in winter on a schedule determined by amount of snowfall. Travel between Red Lodge and the Northeast Entrance is not possible on Highway 212 until it opens again in the spring.
