The Bureau of Land Management’s Casper Field Office announced that Muddy Mountain Road will reopen on May 11, 2018.
According to a BLM statement, Muddy Mountain Road closes on an annual basis for public safety and resource protection. The closure normally runs from the end of November through the beginning of June.
“Given the drier conditions and the BLM’s commitment to being a good neighbor in the communities we serve, the road will open earlier than normal,” the BLM Casper Office statement read.
Some areas of the road are still wet and the BLM is urging visitors to use caution when traveling on the mountain to prevent resource damage.
Muddy Mountain Road is the primary access route to the Muddy Mountain Environmental Education Area, which includes two campgrounds and numerous recreation trails.
