Weather is always a factor during road lottery.
In 1992, a Labor Day blizzard closed the Park Road for the season. However, road crews work diligently to keep the road open each day. Reservations for Riley Creek, Savage, and Teklanika Campgrounds can be made up to two days in advance, in person, at the Visitor Center only. Please note that postcard entries will not be accepted.
