I know this area very well. When I lived in Cooke City, Gardner is where we “went to town”. It’s sad to see it all washed out, especially the beloved Boiling River. The Beartooths, in addition to spring melt, got 6 feet of snow and then 5 inches of rain.Yellowstone park closed.

Hope folks stay safe.
