What Mellow said hopefully. Or one vehicle coming out means one vehicle can go in is the worst case definition.Please decipher what this means for us flatlanders.....
Arches certainly does something like this now. I dont think Yellowstone does yet cause the roads in the park connect parts of states. The center roads are like a big round a bout. In this case, I can certainly do my one lap of WA by heading up 410 from Yakima, camping in a USNF campground on 410, then heading around the park using 123 south to 12 west. What this does is basically kill last minute day trips from the Seattle area through certain parts of the park. For people coming from far away areas, you be forced to plan ahead and buy lots of days in case poo poo happens.Thanks for the info. I think Yellowstone NP has been doing something like this for sometime now. I feel sorry for the families (can you say Griswold ) who drive hundreds of miles and just show up only to get turned away. At least if you are an early bird you can still get in and a ride thru after 3pm wouldn't be bad either.
Frosty and I ran into this sort of thing in Arches. We had a reserved campsite but were turned away for 4 hours till enough people left so that another group could enter. Now I think they went to timed entry.What Mellow said hopefully. Or one vehicle coming out means one vehicle can go in is the worst case definition.
Pikes Peak is a City owned Park and yes it is time entry by reservation + a fee to get in.I think it's like Pikes Peak now where you have to pre-schedule entry? I assume PP is still that way.
One has to make a reservation on line for a two hour time slot to enter the park, at least here in Colorado. The reservation cost two bucks and then when you enter the park, must pay the entrance fee, or show NP Pass.Please decipher what this means for us flatlanders.....
