Starting Nov. 1, 2026, Yellowstone National Park will close its West, South and East entrances along with nearly all interior roads to regular vehicle traffic. The closures are part of the annual transition to winter operations. The park will begin its snowmobile and snowcoach season on Dec. 15, giving visitors a chance to experience the winter landscape once the road closures are in place.
