With its snow-covered mountains and a variety of wildlife,Yellowstone National Park is one
of the scenic treasures of the United States.Located primarily in Wyoming,the park receives
millions of visitors every year.If you plan to travel within the park,keep in mind advice from the
National Park Service.

can cause some roads to be closed temporarily.In the winter almost all roads are closed to motor
vehicles,but snowmobiles and other vehicles with snow chains are allowed.Roads begin to open
in the spring by the latter part of April but will be closed if snowfall continues.
Driving Time
Grand Loop is the main road through Yellowstone National Park;it passes by most of the

major attractions.These include Old Faithful,Yellowstone Lake and the Grand Canyon of the
数
Yellowstone.The maximum speed limit on the Grand Loop is 45 miles per hour,but the speed
limit drops during some of the winding and twisting sections of this narrow road.Allow yourself
at least two days to fully travel the loop due to the size of the park and being sometimes stuck in
heavy traffic.

Buffaloes often block the roads in the park as they move through the fields.If a herd is
travelling across the road you are on,you can either wait for them to pass or find an alternative
route.If you get out of your vehicle,the National Park Service suggests that you stay at least 25
yards from any buffalo (and 100 yards or more away from bears and wolves).Buffaloes are
particularly unpredictable and charge towards people at a speed of up to 30 mph.
You can ride your bicycle on any public roads and routes designed for bikes,but bicycles are
not allowed on the park road
