Trail Near Yellowstone Reopens
The emergency area closure for Beattie Gulch area north of Gardiner, Montana has been lifted now. Gardiner Ranger District had implemented the emergency closure to address bear-human safety concerns resulting from multiple grizzly bears feeding on an elk carcass in the area near the Beattie Gulch Trail. As hunting season continues, Gardiner District Ranger Ron Hecker reminds forest users of the importance of checking local conditions, leaving a route itinerary with someone at home, being prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions and be aware of wildlife activity.
