Cycle-only season in Yellowstone National Park starts tomorrow.

Starting tomorrow, April 5, spring biking will open on the 49-mile stretch between the West Entrance and the North Entrance! 🚴‍♀️

Although this road corridor remains closed to public vehicles, it won’t be completely free of traffic. Cyclists will still encounter administrative traffic and construction vehicles, including heavy equipment and plows. All cyclists must ride single file on the right shoulder of the road and follow the same traffic laws as automobiles.
