Bison Range to undergo chip sealing operations

MOIESE - Be prepared for chip sealing of the paved roads at the National Bison Range during the week of June 1. The paved roads accessing the Visitor Center and the Day Use Area will be affected as well as the parking area at the Visitor Center. The Visitor Center and Red Sleep Mountain Drive will remain open throughout but visitors will need to follow the detour signs. The Day Use Area may also have restrictions during this time.

We will repair cracks, fill in swales, and fix holes to make the road smoother. We will also install speed bumps in the Day Use Area to encourage visitors to follow the 15 mph speed limit that is in effect through that area, due to the high use by families and children.
