Each spring, Yellowstone National Park clears snow and ice from approximately 321 miles of road including the Beartooth Highway outside the park’s Northeast Entrance in preparation for the summer season. 

Springtime in Yellowstone provides excellent opportunities for smaller crowds and wildlife viewing. Viewing opportunities special to this time of year include bison calves, bears, bull elk antlers in velvet, and the arrival of migratory birds.
