The map offers a quick snapshot of current trail and campsite status. Below the map is more detailed information regarding the condition of the trail, further descriptions of trail closures, warnings, and known hazards. Please make sure to review both the backcountry conditions map and the Area Conditions Detail Section of this page
Conditions reports offer specific details about a given trail on a given date. However, Yellowstone's backcountry is vast and some trail status reports may not be updated for several weeks or even months for lesser used trails. For this reason, Backcountry Conditions reports only offer a snapshot of trail conditions and should be used in conjunction with other tools such as weather reports, prior backpacking experience in Yellowstone, and assessment of your own backpacking skill level.
*This map doesn't reflect current campsite availability. Backcountry permits are required to camp in all backcountry campsites.

General Information
Many of the trails above 9000 feet are still snow covered, with some trails above 8000 feet still holding snow. Check out the snowpack map to see where and how much snow you could encounter. Reference the map located on the right side of the linked page for reference (this map depicts snow depth).
Many streams are at peak runoff levels and are too high and dangerous to cross. Streams which are crossable in the morning or on cool days may rise to unsafe levels by afternoon when the temperatures rise. Don’t get caught on the wrong side of a stream. If you must cross – scout out the safest location, the best crossing may not be in the exact location where the trail meets the stream. Above all use caution and be safe around all streams. Yellowstone’s backcountry does not have many bridges, please evaluate planned travel routes for any potentially hazardous stream crossings.
