CODY, Wyo. — The Washakie Ranger District of the Shoshone National Forest will close both the southern and northern ends of the Loop Road, FSR 300, to motorized travel on Monday, December 2nd., according to a press release from the Forest Service.
The gates at South Pass and the Worthen Meadow junction are scheduled to close for the season on Monday, December 2nd.
