Receding floodwaters flow past a section of North Entrance Road washed away at Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner, Mont., Thursday, June 16. Yellowstone officials are hopeful that next week they can reopen the southern half of the park, which includes Old Faithful geyser. Park officials say the northern half of the park, however, is likely to remain closed all summer, a devastating blow to the local economies that rely on tourism.
