(CNN) — Yellowstone National Park's north loop will reopen to all visitors Saturday, nearly three weeks after epic floods swallowed roads and bridges, caused mudslides and prompted officials to shutter all of the park's entrances.
"We have attempted to balance major recovery efforts while reopening as much of the park as possible," Yellowstone National Park Superintendent Cam Sholly said in a statement.
The park -- which spans parts of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming -- and nearby towns were inundated by unprecedented rainfall and flooding earlier this month that led to dangerous conditions, officials previously said. The heavy rain, coupled with rapid snowmelt that led to flooding along the Yellowstone River, was a 1 in 500-year event, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said.
