Recently, when planning a trip to Yellowstone Natl Park, the Grand Loop Rd between Tower Junction and Canyon Village will not be included in any trip due to Google Maps inclusion of a road closure. Even one planning a route directly from Tower Junction to Canyon Village will be directed around the entire rest of the loop excluding the most direct route. Previously (approx. 2 yrs ago), this route was available, as I had planned an extensive trip including this route, and the map included this stretch of road. I am wondering if it has something to do with the "road closure" notice, or labels saying "(Closed winters)", but other roads in the region (i.e., Norris Canyon Rd) are so labeled but allow planning to use these routes. How does one plan a future trip without consideration of present road closures?
