The smoky conditions forced the closure of Togwotee Pass late Monday afternoon, turning back many tourists who were headed for Yellowstone National Park and filling up nearly every room in town Monday night. The pass remains closed as of Tuesday night. 
That closure was followed Tuesday night with evacuation orders for the areas around Brooks Lake Lodge, as well as East and West Pinnacle and Breccia neighborhoods. Residents of those areas were advised to immediately leave the area, taking only essential items such as medication, pets or important documents with them.
