Park news

Yellowstone National Park got its first snow this year on October 1, and on November 5 all roads closed to cars and trucks except the one through the Northern Range between Gardiner and Cooke City, Montana. Winter facilities such as shops and lodging at Mammoth and Old Faithful Village will reopen the weekend of December 15-16 for people who arrive by oversnow vehicles.

Please join the author at her residence, Lake Park Retirement Center, to shop for holiday gifts, many handmade, in addition to all three of her books at holiday sale prices.
