"Yellowstone National Park will close its West, South, and East entrances to regular vehicle traffic starting Nov. 1. The closures allow preparation for snowmobiles and snowcoaches, which will be permitted starting Dec. 15. Not all roads will close, and travelers can enter through the North entrance in Gardiner, Montana, and the Northeast entrance in Cooke City/Silver Gate, Montana, though they should anticipate icy and snowy conditions. The park becomes a wintry wonderland offering activities like cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and wildlife watching. However, many facilities including stores, restaurants, and campgrounds close, and visitors are advised to check online for specific winter operating dates." - Alison Fox Alison Fox Alison Fox is a Travel + Leisure contributor.

"Yellowstone is one of the U.S. national parks that offers a completely different experience each season. Summer is notable for its sightseeing, hiking, and camping opportunities, but you can expect 'great wildlife viewing as fall sets in,' says Wade. It’s important to note, however, that snow is definitely possible this time of year. Always check the forecast before setting off into the park and make sure you’re driving a car that can handle inclement weather." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Yellowstone is the nation's first national park, known for its geothermal features and diverse ecosystems. It holds significant cultural importance for the Lakota people and surrounding tribes, serving as a place of regeneration for both buffalo and Native people who survived near-extinction."
