Lots of govt red tape involved with this and funding is really bad for the national parks in this administration. So...the prediction from the people who live and work there is that it is going to be all of this winter and a very strong likelihood that the summer tourist season will be badly impacted. The people who are booked to stay at Longmire this winter are being taken in buses down a road outside the park (Skate Creek Road) and then brought back in a back way into Longmire. It's essentially a service road for the Park Service personnel but they've agreed to let it be used very minimally by these buses.
