That was a pretty amazing picture that you posted. I'm sure there were plenty of other places in the park just as bad. That is a ton of water.

It re-opened on Memorial Day weekend, IIRC. We went in two weeks prior.
Yes, there was extensive damage throughout the rest of the park. It was the worst flooding the park has experience in its 108 year history according to their website.
Here is a snippet on the section we visited...
"Flooding from the Carbon River partially or completely destroyed two miles of road between the park entrance and Ipsut Creek Campground. In places, only culverts and road signs remain to remind visitors that new river channels used to be roadways. The historic Ipsut Creek Cabin was undermined when a channel of the river flowed directly beneath it. The windstorm in December toppled dozens of trees across the damaged roadway."
