Roads open in the Yellowtail Habitat Area

The roads in the Yellowtail Wildlife Habitat Management Area are open and cleared of hazardous trees thanks to the work of United States Forest Service, National Park Service and Wyoming Game and Fish crews, Bighorn Canyon management announced Friday. 

Habitat managers will continue to monitor the situation, and visitors should expect periodic closures throughout the summer and into the fall for continued hazardous tree removal as time allows.  

Visitors are reminded to remain cautious when recreating in the Yellowtail Habitat area.  Standing trees in the perimeter of the fire are weak and could become potential fall hazards during wind and other weather events.
