Yellowstone National Park's north loop will reopen to all visitors Saturday, nearly three weeks after epic floods swallowed roads and bridges, caused mudslides and prompted officials to shutter all of the park's entrances.
-- accessed through the East, West and South entrances -- last week based on an alternate license plate system that was aimed at slowing down visitor traffic, officials said.on Thursday, the National Park Service announced Yellowstone will be suspending the system starting Saturday.
"The interim system worked very effectively at moderating traffic within the park, however, with the opening of the north loop and 93% of the road system open, will be suspended effective July 2," the release said."Park staff will continue monitoring visitor use data, traffic counts, and the condition of infrastructure over the upcoming months to ensure visitor usage is not overwhelming capacity.
