Suspending ALPS
By Emma Heller
Our latest update from Yellowstone National Park’s superintendent Cam Sholly brings us some great news! It was announced on Thursday, June 30th that the northern portion of Yellowstone will open on Saturday, July 2nd. The Park Service will also suspend the Alternating License Plate System (ALPS) that was used to regulate visitation. The Park Service will continue to monitor visitor use data and if necessary, will reinstate the ALPS. We are delighted that we will be able to explore the northern portion of the Park with you this summer!

A majority of our tours spend the day in the Lower Loop visiting Old Faithful, Lake Yellowstone and Hayden Valley. While we don’t have as many tours that head to the Upper Loop, it also has great sights, especially if you’ve already had the chance to explore the Lower Loop. With the suspension of ALPS, the Park will be back to normal with high-season traffic. Yellowstone Scenic Tour guides take out the stress of driving and parking. Plus, they have insider knowledge on where to find less crowded areas! Our guides will treat you to a fun and educational day in Yellowstone. We look forward to spending the day with you and exploring Yellowstone National Park!
