it looks like even highway 191 is not available for photography. The road is open but I likely will be harrassed if I walk in to take pictures from the open road.
Grrr. This would have been a great spot for milky way shots.I was thinking of an alternative of staying at big sky.
It looks like I will spending time shopping with my daughter instead of taking pictures

While park entrances would be closed, those gates would still be staffed to turn people away, or to allow essential workers or deliveries in. People who live in the communities of Silver Gate and Cooke City, who can only get to their homes during winter months by traveling through the park, will also be allowed through the gates. Those residents already have special stickers allowing them to travel through the park to their homes. But, they would not be allowed to stop and use park facilities, such as hiking trails.
A portion of U.S. Highway 191 passes through the far northwestern corner of Yellowstone National Park. Nash says that road would remain open in the event of a closure, but he says people will not be allowed to use park trails along the highway. He says park rangers will patrol the road and would enforce no-use rules, traffic regulations and other park rules during any shutdown.
The park is scheduled to close interior roads for the winter, on Monday, November 4th this year. Some of those roads would re-open to snow coach and snowmobile use only, once enough winter snow has accumulated.
