  • Each spring, a Yellowstone National Park crew of 20-25 workers take to the snowy roads of Yellowstone starting the first full week of March to tackle one of the most complex, costly and expansive jobs in the park.
    Road crews, including some seasonal workers hired just to help with plowing, work for up to three months removing snow and ice from more than 320 miles of road in Yellowstone. The operation burns as much as 1,300 gallons of diesel fuel each day and typically costs $1 million or more. This video from Neal Herbert of the National Park Service offers a behind-the-scenes look at spring snow plowing in Yellowstone.

    Retired - I drove long haul over many passes and appreciated how snow removal crews worked tirelessly to keep the roads passable, not the easiest job out there. You are all part of the team to keep America moving! Thxx
