Pretty easy to find. Yellowstone website, Facebook and Instagram has all the information that Todd just covered. He’s just much more fun to get info from though.
Thank you for all your awesome updates! I’m so glad we found you and our family checks every day for your latest video. We will be there July 5-12 and will be looking for you bartending! 👍🏼
Great work and keeping all informed and withstanding the small hail Looks like great comfortable temps This is the best channel Park Junkie for information. Be well
Hey Park Junkie, you're way too cool. I'm going to Yellowstone in early july all the way from Chile(yes, i know, more than 11.000 KM) and i've followed you since the floods to stay informed and what can i say, you're just too cool. Thanks for everything you do!
Thanks fir the info. Not planning a trip in the near future but still like to know what's happening. Yellowstone is still my favorite national park. 👍🙏
Thanks for the continuous updates. I have reservations in late September and early October so I’ve been keeping an eye on closings and reopenings. Your videos have really been helpful.🙏
Thanks for the "man on the scene" report...complete with hail bouncing off of you! Kudos to all the park employees who are working to get things back open.
Music to my ears! We have a trip planned in mid-July to Yellowstone NP for about a week and were worried about access and restrictions. Thanks for your up-to-dated advisements. Great job!
Thanks for the update. I saw where if folks have a vanity plate with letters and numbers on it, they will go by the last number on the plate to determine your day of admission.
Great info, thank you! Now wondering if the license plate entry process will continue when the Northern section opens. Any thoughts on that? Thanks again.
Thank you so much for doing this. We have reservations for Lewis Campground around the third week in July so I will try and find someone to talk with on what I can expect and how to navigate our options. Hopefully the site will be open before then.
Thanks for the update. It would seem there is lots of hard work and resilience going on at Yellowstone. Wondering if the paths to the falls/canyon are open. We are flying in from UK and have lodge reservations at Grant and Canyon. Hoping Canyon Lodge reopens by August! 🤞
I haven't seen this question addressed anywhere: what about entering the park during off-peak hours? I'm especially thinking early morning before the entrance stations are manned. I assume that's one way you could get around the license plate restriction. I'm not planning a Yellowstone trip, more just raising a hypothetical. When I went last year, I entered at about 2 am (having driven straight through from Seattle) and dozed in my car at the Old Faithful parking for a few hours before the sun came up (and had the place basically to myself for a predawn eruption I might add). I know, I know, you technically can't do this, but a) National Parks are open 24/7 (except in extraordinary circumstances like this), and b) I've NEVER seen this rule enforced. I spend a lot of time in parks at night, mainly Mt. Rainier and Olympic, for astronomy.
Stay overnight at the Cody Walmart parking lot, then you can use the East Entrance. Drive to Fishing Bridge parking lot in the morning; plan your day from there. Plenty of good day hiking in Yellowstone!
Hey Todd, firstly thanks for bringing to us all the news from the park and your videos has been our primary source of info since last week. Thanks again Is the Grand Canyon of yellowstone open to visitors? We have trip planned in the week of 6/27
Great information. However I fear great confusion. Hope they post signs in Cody or we might see some Yellowstone road rage that does not involve animals. Hope not but ya know. Best wishes and thanks again.
Right now I’m watching your video about when you went up Medano Creek near Great Sand Dunes National Park. It’s driving me CRAZY because you mispronounced “Medano” throughout the ENTIRE video! My dad grew up in the San Luis Valley in a tiny town called Crestone, very close to the park. He was born in 1926, and much of his family lived in Blanca throughout their lives. We went to the Great Sand Dunes each year when we visited the Valley. Anyway, the correct pronunciation for “Medano” is “Med No” not “Meh Dawn No”…your videos are great and I really enjoy them, but check the correct pronunciation for the areas, okay? And thanks for the current coverage of Yellowstone and the situation there. Safe travels.
Even before this mess, I saw that Norris campground was going to be closed all year. also, is it true that all campgrounds are reservation only. no first come first serve? What can you tell us about those things.
Everyone pays park admission regardless of a reservation Normal admission good for seven days is $35. I don’t know how they will address that with the Odd even days Buy a park pass for $80 as Todd says gets you into all parks for a year
We are staying in Cody, WY and our license plate does not match for that day but we want to go to the Grand Tetons, are we able to take the short route through the park or do we have to take the long way around.
If you have a reservation for a stay at Mammoth, can you get into the park in the next week or two? I know the area is closed, but when you said reservation holders could get in, I am sure some literal-minded people might think they can come if their res is at Mammoth. Thank you for these update videos.
If your lodging or campground is closed, your reservation will be cancelled and you will be subject to the ALPS system. Same goes for days where part of your reservation is canceled. For instance: they expect to reopen Madison Campground on June 29th. If you have a reservation for Madison Campground from June 27th-July 2nd, Xanterra will cancel June 27th and 28th from your reservation and you will be subject to ALPS, but June 29th-July 2nd your reservation will still be valid and you may enter the park regardless of license plate provided you do not opt to cancel those reservation dates.
@@MissTaelus I hope you enjoy your visit. Yellowstone is truly an amazing and magical place. On my only visit we drove in thru the Roosevelt Arch on the road that is washed out between Gardiner and Mammoth. Seeing the aerial footage of that road was heartbreaking.
Got a question. I have an even numbered license plate and I had a room booked at the Roosevelt Lodge in July. I received the email confirmation about my money automatically being refunded in 7 to 10 days. However, does this cancelation also now revoke my entrance to the park on odd numbered days?
As far as I can ascertain, the current rules would restrict your entry on the odd days. That said, the northern loop may be open by your arrival date, & the Roos Lodge may very well be open by then, although there is no way of knowing that at this time. Stay tuned & good luck!
You still have not mentioned anything about park employees. Families and parents of employees may be worried about employees from all US states and foreign countries. Many employees have no phones or Internet access, and many more do not have vehicles and arrived at Yellowstone by bus. Please could you find out how their needs are being met to help assure families that these employees are safe. Thank you. Watch your channel daily.
So, if you're a couple with an even/odd plate, partner up with another couple that has an odd/even plate... Might be cheating, but if you've planned this vacation for a long time... Just make sure you're compatible with the other couple, lol...
This is the information I’ve been desperately trying to find out for the last four days. Another great video sir!!!

Greetings from Las Vegas, you are awesome park junkie! Stay safe and maybe I will see you in July 🥰🥰
Thanks. It’s just so surreal to me. I was just in Yellowstone in mid March
Good job Todd. We appreciate it! You’ll be pouring drinks soon!

Nice new hail hairstyle!
Based on the crowds I’ve seen in my last 3 visits, I’m wondering if they shouldn’t implement this license plate system on a permanent basis.
Got to watch the hail coming in yesterday hiking down from surprise/amphitheater lakes in Grand Teton!
Hey Todd, firstly thanks for bringing to us all the news from the park and your videos has been our primary source of info since last week. Thanks again
Is the Grand Canyon of yellowstone open to visitors? We have trip planned in the week of 6/27
👍
I've enjoyed watching you. Snow and hail, in June.
Texas has nothing on that
Yeah Buddy!
Are the gates going to be open 24 hours still? And if so, if you come in before they're manned, do the restrictions still apply?
Great information. However I fear great confusion. Hope they post signs in Cody or we might see some Yellowstone road rage that does not involve animals. Hope not but ya know. Best wishes and thanks again.
Good vid, nice bike!
We have a 2 night back country reservation in the Lamar Valley. Odds of that happening lol?
Zero. Lamar closed for summer

planning a 5 day overnight trip in september? is it worth that long of a trip now or should I shorten cause of damages?
Thanks for all the info. A plate that ends in a letter, not vanity plate... is it odd or even? Or go backwards to the first number from the left?
Jhnewsandguide has article with your answer
what if you have a trailer? does it go off the trailer plate or vehicle plate?
Even before this mess, I saw that Norris campground was going to be closed all year. also, is it true that all campgrounds are reservation only. no first come first serve? What can you tell us about those things.
IS THERE ANY NEWS ABOUT ROUTE 191 ALONG THE NORTHWEST SIDE ALONG THE GALLATIN RIVER?
Just started following your channel. Is that a KTM?
Yep, 890 Adventure R… 🤙
Looks like the Yellowstone NP tweet about opening northern loop is now deleted. I am guessing there’s still lot of uncertainty.
Watched a vid yesterday says opening up in July except for Lamar valley, true ?
What happens if your going through the park and not stopping on a motorcycle?
I have a reservation at lodging facility. do I still need to pay entrance fees?
Just buy the America the Beautiful Pass, which is the pass to over 430 national park administered locations throughout the country. It’s $80
Everyone pays park admission regardless of a reservation
Normal admission good for seven days is $35. I don’t know how they will address that with the Odd even days
Buy a park pass for $80 as Todd says gets you into all parks for a year
Yellowstone you need to hire this junkie.
thanks .. what about solo motorcycle ?
We are staying in Cody, WY and our license plate does not match for that day but we want to go to the Grand Tetons, are we able to take the short route through the park or do we have to take the long way around.
Likely the long way or rent a car for the day

@@dhblan8591 not sure if we will be going now, due to the damage to the north loop and gas prices, but we had an amazing stay last year.

Sounds exactly what our government would come up with; big business

You wouldn't be canceled all together from going to the park just cuz your lodging got canceled.
Upper loop includes Roosevelt is opening in two weeks
Jhnewsandguide article
@@scrumpschkin9752 But if he doesn't have lodging at a Xanterra site, he loses half his entry days...
Are cdt hiker allowed in the park are do they half to go around?
I know of no restrictions for CDT hikers. Call the park to verify.

My plate ends with a letter 🤷♂️
1:28

So, if you plan on going with a group with more than one vehicle you're up a flooded creek? Ha ha ha
It appears so… 🤷♂️
I would call the park and ask them being that they are letting motorcycle groups traveling in a pack in together. See article jhnewsandguide
What's your deal? If the park is closed what are you doing inside? Do you work here? I do and I'm wondering what are you doing inside the park
He works in the park.
So, if you're a couple with an even/odd plate, partner up with another couple that has an odd/even plate...
Might be cheating, but if you've planned this vacation for a long time... Just make sure you're compatible with the other couple, lol...
I hate motorbikes even on the road. As for a 'nature-park' - this guy must be Very annoying.
