Gallatin NF/Park County, MT Impose Restrictions

While no fire restrictions have been imposed in Yellowstone National Park, visitors to Gallatin National Forest to the north and west of the park and in Park County, Montana now do face restrictions.  Like in Jackson Hole, the use of campfires will only be allowed at developed or designated recreation sites and campgrounds and within a metal fire ring.  Smoking is allowed only within an enclosed vehicle or building or at a developed site or parking area, and fireworks are strictly prohibited.  At this time, stoves fueled by liquid gas or propane may still be used throughout the forest. County official assure that community displays in Gardiner and Livingston will still be permitted to be staged on July Fourth.
