The establishment of Yellowstone National Park in 1872 was a farsighted decision by Congress to guarantee that every generation of Americans would inherit a healthy and vibrant national park, a wonderland of geysers, wildlife, and inspiring vistas.  Since then, the images that symbolize our first national park—Old Faithful, roaming bison, and Yellowstone Falls—have come to represent America itself.

After 14 years of study, the National Park Service has twice determined that phasing out snowmobile use in favor of snowcoaches is required to protect Yellowstone and its visitors.  This snowcoach solution will continue full, motorized access to the Park, provide needed certainty for gateway communities, and protect Yellowstone for future generations to enjoy. 

In previous comprehensive studies, the National Park Service determined, and later restudied and verified, that eliminating snowmobile use would provide the strongest protection of air quality, visitor and employee health, wildlife, and Yellowstone's natural quiet. The Environmental Protection Agency independently came to the same conclusion.  

Yet, through court battles and politics, the phase-out still has not begun, and snowmobile use continues, threatening public health and Yellowstone's resources, and perpetuating uncertainty for visitors and gateway communities.
