Editor's note: This is shaping up to be a bad year for fires across Greater Yellowstone. Already significant blazes are burning across Montana and Wyoming.

The fire danger in Yellowstone National Park has been elevated to very high, and it is listed as high in Grand Teton National Park. Park managers advise visitors and residents to exercise extreme caution.
