The state of Wyoming announced that it does not plan to seek an injunction against a new Park Service rule that limits the number of snowmobiles entering Yellowstone National Park. The Park Service issued a temporary rule on Friday limiting snowmobiles to 318 a day at the park, beginning next month and continuing through the next winter season.

Although the state of Wyoming and tourist towns on Yellowstone's borders believe that snowmobile travel into the park is crucial to winter tourism, the state won't seek a court order to block the new rule before the park's winter season begins December 15.
