Roads in Yellowstone National Park opened to visitors traveling by snowmobile and snowcoach Tuesday, and some guides are incorporating new measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Commercially guided snowmobiles and snowcoaches can haul visitors through Yellowstone until oversnow travel ends in mid-March. Tour companies in and around the park offer guided snowmobile and snowcoach tours. Some are incorporating new restrictions on snowcoach tours in response to the novel coronavirus.
Passengers aboard snowcoach tours hosted by Yellowstone National Park Lodges are required to wear face masks, have their temperature checked before boarding and follow assigned seating guidelines. Plexiglas barriers between rows of seats are being installed to separate passengers.
