I don't think they will close it to all traffic, but most of the NP's
(Zion, Arches, Yellowstone, Teton, etc.)  are going to limit the amount of
cars and especially motor homes that come through during the summer months.
Infrastructure can't take it and pollution is bad. If you go to the
National Park homepage (???), it is pretty self-explanatory. Yellowstone
and Teton NP's are trying to ban snowmobiling during the winter months,
completely. Too much noise.

I made the mistake of being in Yellowstone during August, once. It is a
parking lot. Was not fun at all.
