A car-sized boulder fell on the road between West Yellowstone and Madison Junction temporarily closing Yellowstone National Park's West Entrance. The 4-foot-thick by 7-foot-long boulder has been removed from the road, but park geologists are assessing the hillside from which it fell to determine if other rocks pose a threat. Park officials hoped to have the road reopened sometime Thursday. The park also closed Sylvan Pass to all oversnow travel as a snowstorm raised the avalanche danger. Sylvan Pass will remain closed until park employees conduct avalanche mitigation operations and groom the route.
