After record rainfall in the area created hazardous conditions — including flooding, mudslides, rockfalls, and road and bridge failures, officials closed of the Yellow Stone National Park entrances in Montana and Wyoming to inbound traffic on June 14.

Portions of the road were either damaged or washed away completely by the rising flood waters.

"We will not know timing of the park's reopening until flood waters subside and we're able to assess the damage throughout the park," the park's superintendent Cam Sholly explained. "It is likely that the northern loop will be closed for a substantial amount of time."

Cory Mottice, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Billings, Montana, told the AP of the flooding: "It's a lot of rain, but the flooding wouldn't have been anything like this if we didn't have so much snow."

He added, "This is flooding that we've just never seen in our lifetimes before."
