This week in Yellowstone National Park, from October 22nd to October 28th, 2026, I’ll tell you why this week is awesome for seeing the moon, let you know what is closing, share some information about…
Pretty much everything in the park is closed or will be closing this week.
The Canyon Eatery, the Canyon Gift Shop, Canyon Lounge, Canyon Washburn Lookout, the Old Faithful Snow Lodge Obsidian Dining Room will also close on the 25th.
is going to be closing.
And then the things that are closing on the 31st are the Canyon Gas and Store, the Canyon Wrecker and Tow Service, Canyon Visitor Education Desk, West Yellowstone MPS Desk, Old Faithful Snow Lodge Geyser Grill, Old Faithful Snow Lodge Gift Shop, Old Faithful Visitor Education Center, and the Old Faithful Park Store.
Roads close on November 1st for the interior.
So Everything is going to be closed at the end of the day on the 31st in the park in that whole area.
Anything I didn't mention that's in the interior is already closed.
The only thing that will be open after the 31st will be stuff in the Mammoth region.
So I'll talk about that more next week and the week after.
Just wanted to give you a heads up there.
Real quick, if you are coming to the park this week or next week, know that most everything's going to be closed.
Finding food may be hard.
Be prepared.
Bring all your food.
Pick it up in West Yellowstone or out in Cook City, Silvergate, or Gardner, Cody, or when you're headed up from Jackson, and then you'll be okay.
But don't expect much to be open in the park.
And then it will be even less open between the 28th and the 31st.
And then past the 31st, again, the only road that's going to be open will be from Gardner through Mammoth out to Cook City.
