YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. - Roads into the interior of Yellowstone National Park have closed for the winter, limiting access to Old Faithful, Canyon, and Fishing Bridge until the snowpack is cleared from the roads in the spring.

The roads will reopen for guided snowmobile and snowcoach travel beginning Dec. 15.

Outside the park, US Highway 212 is closed east of Cooke City, ending travel for the season over the Beartooth Highway to Red Lodge and over the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway to Cody.
