YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) — Yellowstone National Park officials say the road over Dunraven Pass on the eastern side of the park will remain open about a week longer than originally planned this fall.
Weather permitting, the Grand Loop Road from Tower Fall to Canyon Junction will stay open until 8 a.m. on Oct. 19.
Park managers say they decided to delay the closing because of a favorable weather forecast for the next couple of weeks, and because of ongoing road construction on the western side of the park.
However, the road could be closed at any time if weather conditions change and the pass becomes unsafe.
