Thank you for another great season! This concludes another season of trail grooming in Fremont County. See you next winter! Limited, managed, snowmobile and snowcoach travel on Yellowstone Park's interior roads is also scheduled to end by Monday evening, March 15.
Trails most recently groomed: Two Top Trail Twin Creek Trail Meadow Creek Big Springs Area Rea's Pass Upper Fish Creek Baker Draw Island Park Village to Last Chance Highway 47/Mesa Falls Scenic Byway
"Every effort is made to groom trails as scheduled. However, last minute changes may be made to accommodate weather and snow conditions. It is recognized that there are inherent risks to the sport of snowmobiling and the prudent snowmobiler should be aware of such risks and take necessary precautions." (Fremont Co. Parks and Rec.)
Avalanche hazard is MODERATE in steep, wind-loaded backcountry (off-trail) areas. Remember that many injuries and fatalities have occurred with a MODERATE to CONSIDERABLE hazard level, so--avoid steep terrain. Remember that "pockets" of unstable snow with a higher hazard level than the general hazard forecast for the day still exist. Be sure you have full avalanche rescue gear and proper training if you travel in or near avalanche terrain.
