For the first time in 34 years, Yellowstone National Park has been closed due to "unprecedented" flooding from heavy rains that washed out roads and caused rockslides.
CNA reported:
CODY, Wyoming: Record flooding and rockslides unleashed by an unprecedented burst of heavy rains prompted the rare closure on Monday (Jun 13) of all five entrances to Yellowstone National Park at the start of the summer tourist season, the park superintendent said.
The entire park, spanning parts of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, will remain closed to visitors, including those with lodging and camping reservations, at least through Wednesday, as officials inspect damage to roads, bridges and other facilities.
