 The following is a press release from Yellowstone National Park.

Construction work on the Wraith Falls Trails will temporarily curtail access to this popular falls in Yellowstone National Park.

Wraith Falls is a 100-foot cascade, located a short distance off the Grand Loop Road east of Mammoth Hot Springs. The half -mile long trail was closed earlier this spring for trail restoration. This short closure will allow for the construction of handrails to the viewing platform and enhance visitor safety.

A National Park Service crew will work over the weekend so the trail can be reopened to the public late Monday afternoon.

The Wraith Falls Trail work is funded by a donation from the Yellowstone Park Foundation. The nonprofit Yellowstone Park Foundation has been Yellowstone National Park's official fundraising partner organization since 1996. The Foundation works in cooperation with the park to fund projects and programs that protect, preserve, and enhance the natural and cultural resources and the visitor experience of Yellowstone.
