YELLOWSTONE (KIFI) - East Entrance to Lake Village (Sylvan Pass) and Lake Village to Canyon Village will open Friday, May 7, at 8 a.m. to public motorists.

Conditions in Yellowstone can change quickly, especially during spring and fall, and roads can temporarily close due to poor driving conditions.
