Sun Road to open today

All 50 miles of Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road is expected to open to motor vehicle travel today, Tuesday, June 19, allowing access to Logan Pass.

A winter advisory went into effect through noon Tuesday for elevations above 6,500 feet, with possible snow accumulations of 1-3 inches at Logan Pass.  

Park plowing crews encountered a minimum of 35 inches of new snow since Memorial Day weekend, which created challenging conditions.

It is anticipated that the Logan Pass Visitor Center and rest rooms will be open, but potable water at Logan Pass will not be available until later in the week. New rest room facilities below the visitor center were constructed last year and will be available for use.

The visitor center will be open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., including a bookstore managed by park partner Glacier Association.
