YELLOWSTONE NAT’L PARK – A wildfire was discovered in the northwest corner of Yellowstone National Park Tuesday afternoon. The fire, named the Big Horn Fire, was likely ignited by lightning in Tom Miner Basin, MT., near the park’s northwest boundary. Yellowstone forecasted snow and rain will likely significantly slow its growth over the next 10 days. Backcountry campsite WE4 will be closed for the rest of the season due to its proximity to the fire.
