Spring Biking in Yellowstone

by Harley mcALLISTER

Our cousins in Montana just informed us about a cool event every spring that we did not know about.  Each year the park closes its roads to snowmobiles and other winter travel on March 15th.  From that time until the third Thursday in April, some of the roads are kept open for non motorized traffic, typically bicycling.

We don't recommend bicycling with kids during the regular season because there are no bike lanes and little to no shoulders on those busy roads, and that makes it a hazardous undertaking for kids.  But when the roads are closed to vehicles it would be a fantastic way to see the park at a time of year when the wildlife would be more visible.

So, if you are near the park and can make a quick trip over, check out this website for more details so you can enjoy the wonderful Spring weather we are having in Yellowstone!
