It is recommended that all visitors call ahead at least an hour before their expected arrival time for road and weather updates. For unscheduled closures, please check our Facebook page. Our current hours are: Front Gate: 7am – 8pm | Visitor Center: 7am – 7pm. The gate for Red Sleep closes at 6pm (all visitors already on the road will have until 8pm to leave the Bison Range), so please plan to arrive by no later than 5:45pm to have enough time to purchase a pass and enter the gate before it closes. Security staff will not wait for vehicles.
Red Sleep Drive is expected to close for winter on Monday, November 2nd 2026 unless we get an unexpected snowfall before the end of October. Prairie Drive will remain open all year, weather permitting. Please remember to call ahead for road/weather updates or check out our Facebook page for announcements.
