It appears some travelers have a wild tale to tell!
Munson said Beartooth Pass received 3-5 inches of snow Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, and the situation worsened with high winds creating drifts and near zero visibility.
Munson said six to eight vehicles, including their occupants, were stuck on Beartooth Pass due to the June snowstorm. Once the motorists were rescued, Yellowstone road crews began clearing the Wyoming side of Beartooth Pass.
