National Parks to Stay Partially Open Amid Government Shutdown

The US government shutdown has led to Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks remaining partly open with limited services, reduced staffing, and closures of visitor centers, while some facilities like campgrounds remain accessible. The plan, opposed by former park superintendents, aims to protect sensitive resources but has raised concerns about the impact on visitors and local businesses. Parks will operate with about 36% of staff, and emergency services will be limited.
