Park Closure: Biscuit Basin temporarily closed due to hydrothermal explosion
I live in Jackson so postponing isn't a big deal. One heck of a show though.
Great to hear that it is no big deal to postpone!
It seems Biscuit Basin will be closed for 2024, but other locations in Yellowstone National Park are still open!
Update:ย
Yellowstone National Park has closed Biscuit Basin for the remainder of the 2024 season for visitor safety. Grand Loop Road remains open to vehicles, and other nearby thermal basins, like Black Sand Basin, are open. Additional Yellowstone National Park information about visitor access can be found at https://www.nps.gov/yell/index.htm.^[[1]
