The backbone of National Parks are seasonal workers that often live in dorm type settings with shared restrooms and kitchens. Add to that the fact that most live in remote towns with limited access to urgent care. The recent articles in Outside Mag and the Washington Post also have given the NPS a black eye. And lastly, many of these gateway communities are pretty concerned about people bringing the virus in. Yes businesses want the business, but many residents aren’t willing to risk it. Take Yellowstone for example, while the State has low counts, the counties with highest count are the two counties that are the gateway to Yellowstone.

Personally I think most Parks will be open by mid July with limited services. I also expect some will end up closing back down.
