A few Utahns are sharing their experiences after Yellowstone National Park was closed due to major flooding.
“It was downpouring,” Sharday Kuik said about her experience in Yellowstone National Park this past weekend. “It was a lot of rain.”
Kuik made it home to Utah but admits she didn’t see a lot of the damage on the side of the park they had been camping in.“I drove 90 miles along the Yellowstone River and I probably drove 50 miles of the Clarks Fork River, and the flooding is on both sides. It was two days of watching massive flooding,” said Mike Hallett, who drives from Salt Lake City to Billings, Montana a few times per week. “I was looking at farms — they were just completely flooded out.
"There will be no inbound visitor traffic at any of the five entrances into the park, including visitors with lodging and camping reservations, until conditions improve and park infrastructure is evaluated." pic.twitter.com/QBgk85IraL
