Ice Storm Warning Issued in One State as Travel May Be 'Impossible'

Weather officials in North Dakota are warning residents to pack extra food and water in their vehicles as an ice storm has made it "nearly impossible" to travel.

On Tuesday morning, the National Weather Service (NWS) in Grand Forks, North Dakota, issued a "Winter Weather Message" for several cities announcing an ice storm warning.

"Power outages and tree damage are likely due to the ice. Travel could be nearly impossible. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute," the message said. "Travel is strongly discouraged. If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency. Prepare for possible power outages."

The warning on Tuesday comes shortly after several states faced winter weather advisories and winter storm warnings over the past weekend, with heavy snowfall expected in areas across North Dakota, Kansas, Alaska, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oregon, South Dakota and Washington.

"The ongoing major winter storm will continue and intensify tonight. Blizzard conditions with heavy snow and gusty winds are expected, with damaging icing also likely in some areas. Travel will be dangerous to impossible at times," the National Weather Service Prediction Center said on X, formerly Twitter .

In North Dakota, the Grand Forks NWS posted several messages on social media warning residents of the ice storm.

"A locally damaging ice storm will continue across southeastern ND and northwest Minnesota. Additional ice accumulations of up to a quarter inch will occur over eastern ND, with locally higher amounts of up to a half inch," the Grand Forks NWS said in one post. The post also noted that travel "is or will become difficult to impossible."

In another post, the Grand Forks NWS said that as of 3:15 a.m. local time, the Interstate-29 "from Grand Forks and north is now closed with many area roads completely ice covered."

Newsweek reached out to the National Weather Service press office for updated information.

X user @fargussmedia shared a video showing ice-covered roads in Fargo, North Dakota, and wrote, "HAPPENING NOW: Ice storm in Fargo, North Dakota."

Jonathan Yuhas of KSTP shared two photos of the roads in Minnesota and said, ".25" to .50" of Ice on Roads 170 miles southwest of Twin Cities on Highway 91 southwest of Marshall,MN. Areas along a line from Moorhead/Fargo to Worthington & west to eastern South Dakota/North Dakota including Sioux Falls, Brookings, Fargo & Grand Forks will be Very Icy."

North Dakota — Weather

North Dakota’s location at the extreme northern end of the Midwest creates a wide range of weather with four very distinct seasons. The western half of the state tends to be drier than the east, but the entire state shares similar annual temperatures. Winters are very cold and windy in North Dakota, with temperatures rarely breaking the freezing barrier between December and February. Nights get very cold in winter, with some shocking record lows like -60°F. Between 26 and 38 inches of snow falls each winter around the state, though occasionally it can be freezing rain or sleet.

Springtime in North Dakota is the most mercurial season, with rapid unpredictable swings in temperature and weather on a daily basis. Daytime highs are still chilly right through May, with occasional snow storms and even tornadoes. The Red River Valley frequently gets heavy flooding from snow runoff from Canada during the early spring months.

Summers are reasonably hot, with more humidity in the eastern half than the west. Temperatures average between the upper 70’s (°F) and mid-80’s (°F) depending on the part of the state. Thunderstorms are frequent, sometimes even spawning tornadoes between June and August. The fall months bring pleasant temperatures but lots of wind as the climate shifts back toward winter weather.

Best Time to Visit North Dakota

The summers are certainly the best time of year to visit North Dakota if you want to enjoy any of the outdoor recreation. From late May through October the state is at its finest, with the prairies changing from green to yellow over the months and the temperatures a very pleasant 80°F or so. Summer is the busiest season here, so popular destinations typically get crowded by North Dakota standards. If you want to find a deal on hotels simply plan a trip between the late fall and late spring. There are few tourists brave enough to venture into this state during the harsh winter.

Red Flag Warning Today, Wind and Flurries Tonight and Tomorrow

Trending colder, with a chance of snow, heading into next week.

SATURDAY EVENING - SUNDAY: Throughout Saturday afternoon, wind gusts in the 30-40 mph range made temperatures feel cold and led to a wildfire risk.Sustained winds of 10-20 mph, with wind gusts around 20-35 mph, will continue pushing through our region Saturday night. Combined with lows in the teens, this means a chilly night. Snow flurries will also push through the eastern half of North Dakota overnight, but not much snow is expected, and they’ll dissipate by Sunday morning. Then we’ll see mostly cloudy skies and highs in the upper-20s this St. Patrick’s Day. Add north-northwesterly winds of 10-20 mph and wind gusts up to 30 mph, and wind chills will be in the single digits to teens across our region. In short, this St. Patrick’s Day will be chilly, windy, cloudy and dry.

Heavy snow slams Colorado as severe thunderstorms unleash torrential rain across Midwest

A powerful winter storm walloped Colorado on Thursday with heavy snowfall, closing schools, knocking out power and canceling hundreds of flights as thunderstorms threatened the Midwest and Mississippi Valley with potentially damaging hail and tornadoes.

In what experts say could be the worst winter storm the state has seen in years, officials have warned of whiteout conditions on Colorado's mountain roads and across a large portion of the Denver and Boulder metro areas. Sections of major highways, including I-70, have been shut down and authorities have asked people to stay indoors.

Throughout the day and into Friday, up to 3 feet of snow is expected across the Front Range, Sangre de Cristo and San Juan mountain ranges, according to the National Weather Service . Snow will also pile up locally, including in downtown Denver, where officials have opened multiple shelters and warming centers.

"Our city hasn't seen a storm like this in a few years," wrote Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in a post on X Wednesday , shortly before announcing the closure of county and city government offices through Friday, when the storm will begin to taper off.

More than 79,000 utility customers were out of power, Thursday morning according to a database maintained by USA TODAY . And over 800 flights at Denver International Airport have been canceled, according to FlightAware .

Storms threaten tornadoes and large hail across the Midwest

Meteorologists say potential tornadoes and large hail threaten parts of north-central Texas into the Midwest as storms move east over the area Thursday. The greatest overall threat is across eastern Oklahoma, Arkansas and southern Missouri, according to the weather service .

The weather service also issued severe weather warnings across central Illinois as storms with winds of over 50 mph were recorded in the region. Flights at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport were temporarily grounded because of heavy rain and winds.

These storms dropped hail ranging in size from golf balls to baseballs as they moved east across parts of Missouri and Kansas on Tuesday and Wednesday.

They grew to encompass states from northeastern Texas to central Illinois and western Ohio, according to Accuweather , which said major metro areas at risk for severe weather and possible tornadoes Thursday include St. Louis, Dallas, Memphis, Indianapolis, Dayton in Ohio, and Peoria, Illinois.

The threat of severe thunderstorms will decrease by Friday before heading into the Northeast, according to the weather service. By then northern New England and New York State will face rain, while the higher elevations could see snow.

Baseball-size hail slammed Kansas and Missouri

Hail the size of baseballs fell on parts of Kansas and Missouri on Wednesday, including some major metro areas such as Kansas City, stalling traffic as several powerful storms kicked up possible tornadoes.

Across multiple counties there were at least three unconfirmed reports of tornadoes across both states as well as reports of structure damage. The National Weather Service said survey teams would confirm reports on Thursday. One video circulating online appeared to show a massive tornado moving across Kansas overnight .

While the hail threat lessens Thursday, meteorologists said heavy rain and high winds were still possible from northeastern Texas through central Missouri.

LA landslide destroys 1 home, threatens others

A landslide in an expensive Los Angeles neighborhood destroyed one home that was under construction and threatened the structural integrity of several others, authorities said.

Just before 3 a.m. Wednesday, Los Angeles firefighters responded to a call about a large tree and several wires down in the backyard of a house in Sherman Oaks, less than 15 miles from downtown LA, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department . Upon arrival, they found a hillside had slid toward three homes, damaging several and completely flattening one that was being renovated.

No one was hurt in the incident, but several people evacuated from one house. Two residences have been red tagged, meaning the structures are unsafe to enter, and another has been yellow tagged, according to the Department of Building and Safety. Firefighters used pumps to remove water from a swimming pool in the area to take some additional weight and stress off the hillside.

Pictures of the damage show one house completely flattened, another with its pool and deck pulled away, and a third with a pool hanging over the edge of the hillside.

Officials have not identified the cause of the landslide. This year, Los Angeles has had more than twice the amount of rain than normal, and over 600 mudslides have been reported in the city as of early February.

Another candidate enters race for North Dakota’s US House seat

Alex Balazs for U.S. Congress

BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) - Alex Balazs has entered the race for North Dakota’s U.S. Congressional seat.

NDGOP Executive Director Andrew Nyhus sent Your News Leader an email that Balazs sent to the party last week announcing his bid for the seat.

Balazs has lived in Cando, North Dakota, since 2013 and lived prior to that in Washington, D.C.

“As a 3rd generation American, I was raised to love this country, work hard and to serve, as is evident by the career path that I chose. This bid to win the seat for U.S. Congress is not a career change or moneymaker for me, it is a call to continue serving and leading. I am a Republican, conservative and strict constitutionalist. I support the NDGOP Republican platform,” said Balazs.

North Dakota’s lone Congressional seat has been open since Kelly Armstrong announced his run for governor of North Dakota .

Balazs is one of four Republican candidates (the others being Rick Becker , Julie Fedorchak and Tom Campbell ) and one Democrat ( Trygve Hammer ) running for the position.

The NDGOP convention is next month in Fargo.

Powerful winds gusting up to 100 mph cause travel delays and power outages in Northeast

A satellite image of the Northeast United States on March 11, 2024.

Around 52 million people remain under wind alerts Monday afternoon across the Northeast, from Maryland to Maine.

Mount Washington, New Hampshire, experienced the highest peak wind gusts of the day at 109 mph.

Philadelphia recorded 63 mph wind gusts, while Newark, New Jersey, saw 59 mph and Providence, Rhode Island, reached 53 mph. Boston winds gusted 46 mph.

Power outages have been reported in parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and New Hampshire.

The strong winds should relax this evening, and most wind alerts should expire late tonight or overnight.

On Monday, 62 million people woke up under wind advisories and high wind warnings stretching from Maine to the mountains of western North Carolina.

For areas under wind alerts, Monday's winds were forecast to be sustained at 25 to 35 mph with gusts as high as 50 to 60 mph.

These high wind forecasts included the heavily traveled I-95 corridor and large airport hubs in the Washington-Baltimore region, Philadelphia International Airport, the major tri-state airports (Newark, LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy) and Boston Logan.

Travel delays are likely at the airports until the winds subside, which is not expected to occur until winds go below wind advisory criteria overnight Monday into Tuesday morning.

Downed trees and power outages are also expected to be impacts from Monday's high winds across the eastern states.

In addition to the high winds, light to moderate snow was expected to fall across the interior Northeast and New England through Monday night.

Winter storm warnings were up for the northern Adirondacks of upstate New York and parts of Vermont and northern New Hampshire.

Additional snow totals are expected to be generally 4 to 8 inches, with some isolated totals as high as 10 inches or more in spots.

Monday's wind and snow comes in the wake of a storm system that brought soaking rains to the southeast Friday into Saturday and the mid-Atlantic and Northeast Saturday into Sunday.

Following the weekend rainfall, Cape Hatteras, North Carolina; Norfolk, Virginia; Philadelphia; New York City; Bridgeport, Connecticut; and Providence, Rhode Island, are now having their wettest start to March on record.

And m ore than 80 river gauges from the southeast to coastal New England remained in minor to moderate flood stage as of midmorning Monday.

Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, was the area hardest-hit by flooding over the weekend, when strong onshore winds pushed water into the community, cutting off roads and inundating homes. This area is highly vulnerable to coastal flooding, with this being the second time in 2024 that the area has flooded.

U.S. warns tourists ‘do not travel’ to this Caribbean destination due to kidnappings and gang violence

  • Updated: Mar. 15, 2024, 9:12 p.m. |

U.S. Department of State Haiti Travel Advisory 2024

The U.S. Department of State has issued a Level 4 travel advisory, urging U.S. citizens not to travel to the island country as it is overwhelmed by political unrest, increased gang activity, violent crime, kidnapping and poor health care infrastructure. Canva

  • Katherine Rodriguez | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

The U.S. government has issued another travel advisory ahead of spring break .

The U.S. Department of State released a formal warning not to travel to Haiti and urged American citizens there now to leave immediately due to the rise in gang violence, crime, political unrest, kidnapping and poor health care infrastructure.

The Level 4 travel advisory comes after one of the country’s most notorious gang leaders, Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier, held an armed rebellion and forced Prime Minister Ariel Henry to formally resign on March 12 .

“Kidnapping is widespread, and victims regularly include U.S. citizens,” the warning added.

Many U.S. citizens, who have been kidnapped, were physically harmed and held at ransom, causing families of victims to pay thousands to save them.

Violent crime involving firearms is common, including armed robbery and carjackings. “Travelers are sometimes followed and violently attacked and robbed shortly after leaving the Port-au-Prince International Airport,” according to the travel advisory.

Protests and roadblocks, many of which become violent, occur often and are unpredictable. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services. Assistance falls on local authorities, like the Haitian National Police and ambulance services, but they have limited resources to respond effectively.

Also, the country has an outbreak of cholera , according to the Haitian Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP).

However, for U.S. citizens who decide to travel to Haiti, the U.S. State Department offers the following guidance :

  • Stay away from demonstrations and crowds, and avoid roadblocks.
  • Coordinate for your host meet you once you arrive at the airport or schedule airport transfers and hotels before arriving in the country.
  • Do not give unauthorized individuals, including people without official uniforms or credentials, your personal information in the immigration, customs or other areas inside or near any airports.
  • Drive to the nearest police station immediately, if you notice someone following you when you leave the airport.
  • Travel by vehicle to avoid walking in public when possible.
  • “Travel in groups of at least two people.”
  • Always lock vehicle doors and close your windows while you are driving.
  • Be cautious and alert at all times, “especially when you are driving through markets and other traffic congested areas.”
  • “Do not physically resist any robbery attempt.”
  • Before your scheduled travel, buy travel insurance and medical evacuation insurance.
  • “Review information on Travel to High-Risk Areas .”
  • Sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to get important alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.
  • “Follow the Department of State on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) .”
  • “Review the Country Security Report on Haiti.”
  • “Prepare a contingency plan for emergency situations. Review the Traveler’s Checklist .”

Severe winter weather to hit Colorado statewide Wednesday through Friday

Travel alert.

Statewide - A powerful spring storm that is forecasted to be measured in feet of snow is predicted to hit the Denver metro region and impact the mountains and much of the state. While Colorado Department of Transportation crews will be out in force to plow the roads, motorists are urged to avoid or limit travel during the worst of the storm, which is expected to begin late Wednesday and last through Friday. Even during periods when roads are warm and some snow melts, precipitation rates could be heavy during these periods, compromising visibility for drivers.

Road conditions will be treacherous across much of the state, with up to two feet of snow that could bury the I-70 mountain corridor from Golden to Vail and I-25 from Denver to northern Colorado Springs and US 285 from C-470 to Fairplay. Road closures along these corridors are anticipated for the safety of motorists. Travelers should anticipate delays due to winter maintenance operations, which will be necessary to keep the traveling public safe.

“It’s best to avoid driving on the roads during the height of the snow storm,” said CDOT Executive Director Shoshana Lew. “With snow expected to fall at a fast rate, visibility is likely to be compromised even during periods when snow is melting quickly. Warmer spring weather leading up to the storm also means that melting snow will freeze at night and contribute to slick conditions for travelers. Please use caution throughout this multi-day event.”

Avalanche dangers are expected in high elevations and on many of the mountain passes along roadways, including Loveland Pass, Berthoud Pass and possibly the West Loop Road and the Vail Narrows by I-70, the Grand Mesa and Monarch Pass. Motorists should be prepared for safety closures as CDOT and Colorado Avalanche Information Center crews conduct avalanche mitigation operations. Backcountry users should avoid these areas.

“We urge motorists to stay off the roads, but if you must go out, slow down and give yourself plenty of space between other drivers, said Col. Matthew C Packard, Chief of the Colorado State Patrol. “According to Colorado’s traction and chain law, all vehicles need to be prepared with adequate tires and equipment when traveling. If carrying chains or checking your tire tread seems like a hassle, imagine the inconvenience of being unable to climb up a pass or come to a stop on the other side, causing a crash.”

“Due to the amount of snow forecast through this storm, we have high confidence that avalanche mitigation operations will be needed Thursday through Friday,” said Mike Cooperstein, the Colorado Avalanche Information Center Northern Mountains Regional Manager. “Avoiding travel during peak periods of the storm is very important over the next few days for the safety of motorists. If you encounter avalanche debris across the highway, do not attempt to drive through the debris. Please call for help and stay in your vehicle.”

“The state’s emergency operations center is tracking this storm and will be prepared to offer additional support throughout this event,” said Colorado Department of Public Safety Executive Director Stan Hilkey. “In addition, we are ready to direct resources to support any local needs that arise as conditions become more challenging.”

  • CDOT storm media briefing held on March 13, 2024

Pavement will see a variety of impacts based on elevation, snowfall rates, and the time of day. The greatest mountain impacts are expected along and east of the northern/central Front Range beginning Wednesday afternoon, and also over the southern mountains beginning late Thursday. East of the Divide, the foothills and Palmer Divide will almost certainly bear the brunt, simply based on forecasted heavy snow and colder temperatures. The greatest complexity exists over the plains, where rain changes to snow Wednesday night. Residual heat should support melting and wet pavement during the initial phase early Wednesday night, before impacts develop by Thursday morning.

CDOT will continuously plow the interstates and other major roadways until the storm subsides, and then crews will plow state-maintained secondary roads with lower traffic volumes. This storm is expected to produce heavy wet snow, resulting in heavy snowpack on the roads by early Thursday morning and through the day and evening.

If motorists have to be out, they should plan ahead and check out the road conditions on COtrip.org and download the app. They should be prepared for extreme winter weather conditions and ensure their vehicles are equipped for heavy snow, including having the appropriate tires that will pass Traction Law requirements. Travelers are strongly encouraged to drive for the conditions including reducing speed and allowing for ample space between their car and the one ahead of them. They are also urged to NOT pass plows.

Motorists should be prepared for the chance of closures and pack extra blankets, clothing, food, water and entertainment. CDOT maintenance crews will be working diligently to clear the roadways of snow and ice until the roads are clear.

Statewide Impacts

Denver metro.

The storm will start out as rain Wednesday afternoon and transition to snow by Wednesday night, with heavy wet snow expected through early Friday. Travel conditions will be especially difficult on Thursday, with 8 to 16 inches of snow forecast for the I-25 corridor. There will be snow packed roads with large amounts of snow built up on the ramps and shoulders throughout the region.

Northeastern Colorado

The North I-25 corridor to Wyoming is expected to start being impacted Wednesday evening. Total accumulations and snowfall rates look like roadways will be severely impacted through Thursday night. Northern mountains are looking to get hit hard also. Cameron Pass is expected to get 21 to 34 inches. Expect road closures and/or snow-packed roads.

I-70 Mountain Corridor from Golden to Vail

Motorists should be prepared for heavy snow and other winter driving conditions along the I-70 corridor, US 40 Berthoud Pass, US 40 Rabbit Ears Pass as well as CO 133 McClure Pass and CO 65 Grand Mesa. Safety closures and delays may be necessary for crews to safely conduct winter maintenance operations on these and other mountain passes in Northwest Colorado.

Southeastern Colorado

Heavy snow showers are expected late Wednesday through Thursday evening, especially along the I-25 corridor. Northern El Paso and Teller counties and areas south and west of Pueblo will see the most significant snow impacts. Motorists will encounter difficult road and weather conditions and should be prepared for safety closures needed for adverse conditions.

Southwestern Colorado

Steady snow showers are expected through the week and weekend for southwest and south-central mountains including the Sawatch, San Juan, and Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. Motorists driving in the high country will encounter difficult road and weather conditions. Travelers should also be prepared for safety closures needed for adverse conditions or winter maintenance operations.

Winter Travel Tips for Motorists

  • Avoid or limit driving during the brunt of the storm on Thursday.  
  • Work from home if you can.
  • If you plan to travel, know before you go by checking out the latest weather conditions and visiting   COtrip.org   for road conditions (see info sources below).
  • Make sure your vehicle is winter ready with the appropriate tires for the weather and have a snow emergency kit.
  • Once you are out on the road, take it slow, no sudden stops and leave plenty of following distance.
  • Give plows space! Stay back three to four car lengths from snow plows.

Safety Closures

A safety closure is a precaution taken during inclement weather to reduce the probability of traffic incidents, increased congestion or other safety-related factors. During a safety closure, traffic may be stopped on the interstate, turned around or directed to an exit. Safety closures help decrease delay times, and, above all, keep travelers safe.

Chain & Traction Laws

When weather conditions warrant, CDOT will activate the Traction Law. If weather conditions deteriorate, CDOT will activate Chain Laws for passenger and commercial vehicles. Motorists will be alerted to an active Traction or Chain Law by highway signage,  COtrip.org  and traffic/roadway condition alerts. For more information on the Traction Law and Passenger Vehicle Chain Law requirements, visit  codot.gov/travel/winter- driving/tractionlaw . For more information on the Commercial Vehicle Chain Law requirements, visit  codot.gov/travel/colorado- chain-law . To learn more and view helpful tips for winter driving, visit  winter.codot.gov .

COtrip.org & COtrip Planner App

If motorists must head out during this winter storm, they are urged to visit COtrip.org and download the COtrip Planner app ahead of time. Motorists are now able to sign up for travel alerts through COtrip.org to see if there are any highway closures or impacts along their favorite routes. The COtrip Planner app also offers a “Trip Planner” feature that allows motorists to map out their routes and receive updates about road closures or incidents along the way. Motorists can turn on the “Hands-Free, Eyes Free” feature to receive these alerts via voice notifications and avoid routes with impacts. 

The free  COtrip Planner  mobile app was designed to meet the growing trend of information on mobile and tablet devices for the traveling public. The COtrip Planner app provides statewide, real-time traffic information, and works on mobile devices that operate on the iOS and Android platforms. Visit the  Google Play Store  (Android devices) or the  Apple Store  (iOS devices) to download!

Know Before You Go

Travelers are urged to “know before you go.” Gather information about weather forecasts and anticipated travel impacts and current road conditions prior to hitting the road. CDOT resources include:

  • Road conditions and travel information: COtrip.org
  • Download the COtrip Planner app: bit.ly/COtripapp

Wild horses facing removal in a North Dakota national park just got another strong ally: Congress

B ISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Advocates for some  200 wild horses  roaming North Dakota’s Theodore Roosevelt National Park are hoping a signal of support from Congress will prevent the removal of the beloved animals from the rugged landscape.

A National Park Service decision is expected around April as to the horses’ future in the  park’s colorful, rolling Badlands.  It’s part of an  ongoing process  to craft a park management plan for “livestock” — a term horse advocates reject.

Republican  Sen. John Hoeven  ‘s legislation, tucked in the annual Interior and Environment budget bill that Congress passed and President Joe Biden signed, strongly recommends that the Park Service keep the horses in place. It also signals a potential future action that would deny any funding intended to remove them.

“Now we’ll continue to have a dialogue with them and hopefully get to a good solution,” Hoeven said in an interview with The Associated Press.

A remaining question is how many horses would ensure the long-term preservation of the herd. Advocates want to see a genetically viable herd of at least 150 horses to avoid inbreeding issues. Park Superintendent Angie Richman has said the horses, if they ultimate stay, would still have to be reduced to 35 to 60 animals under a 1978 environmental assessment.

Richman and the National Park Service did not respond to emails for comment on Hoeven’s legislation.

Previously, park officials have said their evaluation of whether the horses should stay is in line with their policies to remove non-native species when they pose a potential risk to resources. The park has proposed removing the horses quickly or gradually or taking no action.

Advocates have feared a predetermined ouster of the horses, whose predecessors were accidentally fenced into the park in the 1950s and were subject to subsequent roundups.

The horses’ origins include Native American tribes, area ranches and domestic stallions introduced to the park from the late 1970s through the 1990s, said Castle McLaughlin, who researched the horses as a graduate student while working for the Park Service in North Dakota in the 1980s.

“They really are sort of living history because they reflect the kinds of horses people in North Dakota, both Native and non-Native, had over the last 150 years,” said McLaughlin, who cheered state leaders’ commitment to preserving the horses and said she is cautiously optimistic but still skeptical the Park Service will “do the right thing here.”

The horses are often seen along the park’s scenic road and hiking trails, thrilling visitors and photographers who happen upon them.

A vast majority of public comments on the decision process has favored keeping the horses.

Chasing Horses Wild Horse Advocates President Chris Kman said she is hopeful the legislation results in the horses staying, but she awaits the park’s decision and wonders what the legislation means for a management plan for the horses.

“I don’t think that any of us will trust, even with an act of Congress, that the park is going to do the right thing and allow a genetically viable herd of horses to stay,” she said. “…Their attitude all along has pretty much been, you know, ‘We can’t keep the horses. We understand the public wants them, but we’re not doing it anyway,’ no matter what the overwhelming response was.”

Last year, Gov. Doug Burgum offered state collaboration for maintaining the horses in the park. Richman has said park officials “are certainly willing to work with the governor and the state to find a good outcome.”

All of the horses are in the park’s South Unit near Medora. Park officials’ ultimate decision will also affect about nine longhorn cattle in the park’s North Unit.
