MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, WY - Yellowstone National Park is seeking comments for a proposed project to do standard trail realignment on the Shoshone Lake Trail in the southwest portion of the park. The work will occur on a portion of the trail near the south shore of Shoshone Lake.

The main intent of the project is to relocate a section of the trail that is too steep for comfortable travel and cyclic maintenance. Additional work will involve standard erosion control and tread delineation. The proposed project will be directed by the National Park Service in partnership with the Montana Conservation Corps.

Written comments may be emailed to e-mail us or mailed to: Bill Hopkins, Backcountry Trails Office, P.O. Box 168, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, 82190. All comments must be received no later than November 30, 2016.
