YNP Plans Trail Repairs

Yellowstone National Park is soliciting comments for a proposed project to do routine rehabilitation work on a portion of the Buffalo Plateau Trail.  The project will focus on the section of the trail between the Slough Creek Junction and the north boundary of the park.  This section of trail is almost entirely in the Buffalo Creek drainage.   The main intent of the project will be to re-establish surface tread and erosion control devices on the trail.  If funded, the project will take place during the summer of 2013. The project is being considered for funding by the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Recreational Trails Program, and would be directed by National Park Service staff in partnership with the Montana Conservation Corps.  Written comments should be received no later than July 5th.
