Plowing Update - Going To The Sun Road

As of May 8, 2008, The Going To The Sun Road in Glacier National Park is open for vehicle traffic to the McDonald Lake Lodge parking lot. It will be open to the Avalanche Campground as soon as mother nature melts the snow.

The plowing crew is almost up to Haystack Creek, and moving a little slower than usual due to heavy snowpack and a rotary not operating at 100%.

Hikers and bikers can enjoy The Going To The Sun Road Monday through Friday up to The Packers Roost where the road is closed beyond that point. There are no weekend closures.

In the Northfork area, the road from the Polebridge Ranger Station is open to Big Prarie.

They have also opened the road to Many Glacier.

The roads are still rough, be aware of wildlife and equipment, but most of all, be careful.



Don't forget, Glacier Adventure is The Source for Glacier National Park and surrounding area information.



See you on the road....
