Before O’BRIEN, Circuit Judge, BRORBY, Senior Circuit Judge, and GORSUCH, Circuit Judge.

This is the latest installment in a long series of cases seeking to resolve the fate of snowmobiles in Yellowstone National Park. Our particular case began in district court in Wyoming, when the State of Wyoming and allied snowmobile enthusiasts challenged a 2007 National Park Service rule on the basis that it unduly restricted access to the Park. Before the Wyoming district court could rule, however, another district court in Washington, D.C. invalidated the 2007 regulation, though it did so on the basis that the regulation was too easy, not too tough, on snowmobile access. As the Wyoming district court saw it, the D.C. decision answered one question-what to do about the 2007 rule-but posed another: what rules of the road should govern access to the Park until the Park Service could issue a new regulation in response to the D.C. district court’s decision? Perceiving an unfilled regulatory gap and a resulting uncertainty among the parties and public, the Wyoming district court issued an interim remedial order allowing 720 snowmobiles to enter Yellowstone daily until the Park Service could craft a new rule of its own.
