Much of northern Yellowstone park to reopen Saturday

Tourists walk along a boardwalk in Upper Geyser Basin on June 22, 2022, in Yellowstone National Park, Wyo. The park is reopening its flood-damaged north loop at noon on Saturday, July 2, 2022, in time for the Fourth of July holiday weekend. Park officials say the roads from Norris Junction to Mammoth Hot Springs, to Tower-Roosevelt, to Canyon Junction and back to Norris Junction will be open. The loop is reopening nearly three weeks after massive flooding forced thousands to flee the park as water, rocks and mud washed out bridges and roads.(AP Photo/Matthew Brown, File)
