Questions, answered

When does the Snowy Range Scenic Byway close for the winter?

Mid-to-late November (2020-2025 range Nov. 10-26) That is what WYDOT publishes, read October 15, 2026. The gate goes in when the snow does, so the date moves from year to year. No 2026-27 dates were posted on the source page when it was read.

When does the Snowy Range Scenic Byway reopen?

Spring, once WYDOT crews clear the snow (no target date on page) Plowing and avalanche work set the day, and the agency announces it when the road is ready.

Where exactly does it close?

Mile markers 36-48, Green Rock trailhead to just above Ryan Park. The rest of WY-130 is handled like any other road in Wyoming.

Where do I check whether the Snowy Range Scenic Byway is open today?
