CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Large areas of Yellowstone, Yosemite and Glacier national parks could remain closed to summer traffic weeks later than usual, while visitor centers and campgrounds at several other national parks might have to close under one group’s scenario for steep federal budget cuts set to take place starting March 1.

The Coalition of National Park Service Retirees warns of specific closures at 11 national park sites. That includes delayed spring snow plowing in Yellowstone, Yosemite, Glacier and Alaska’s Denali National Park. Seasonal road openings also would be delayed in Grand Canyon.
