CDST to close for season in Grand Teton Park
Closed as of March 2
by Grand Teton National Park
March 3, 2005
Grand Teton National Park Superintendent Mary Gibson Scott announced that due to a lack of adequate snow cover, the portion of the Continental Divide Snowmobile Trail (CDST) that runs from Moran Junction to the park’s east boundary closed for the winter season on Wednesday, March 2.
The section of the CDST that stretches from Moran Junction to Flagg Ranch is scheduled to close at 9:00 p.m. on Sunday evening, March 13. However, if conditions continue to deteriorate on this segment, it may close sooner.
An extremely thin snow pack along the length CDST within the park, combined with recent melting, has caused snow conditions to rapidly deteriorate, leaving large portions of the trail unsafe for snowmobile travel. Some sections of the trail have completely melted out, exposing rocks, mud holes and vegetation. For further information on the CDST, call a recorded message line at 307-739-3614.
