The 2nd National Park in the U.S. Eventually Lost That Title

Michigan’s Mackinac Island was the country’s 2nd ever national park, created in 1875, just three years after Yellowstone National Park.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK – Yellowstone National Park crews are plowing the beautiful and famous Beartooth Highway as the busy summer travel season approaches.

US-212, also called “The Highway to the Sky,” winds its way from Red Lodge, Montana to Cooke City, and the northeast entrance of the park. 

This video was taken on May 19. The goal is to get the high-elevation road opened by Memorial Day weekend, but there are no guarantees, as new snowfall is possible up there even in late spring. Make sure you check before you travel!

The National Park Service partners with the Montana and Wyoming transportation departments to clear the roads.
