Glacier National Park's Going-to-the-Sun Road opens over Logan Pass to vehicles
Ronald Van Dijk of the Netherlands takes a break on the edge of a snowbank at Logan Pass Saturday morning as the Sun Road opened for the season.
Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road is now open for vehicles up and over Logan Pass for the summer season.
The road opened about 6 a.m. June 22, which is close to the average opening for the highway.
Folks are reminded that they need a reservation to enter the road from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. through the west entrance. But they do not need a reservation to enter the highway from the east side at St. Mary.
Reservations are available at Recreation.gov
As typical for this time of year, folks should be mindful of snow hazards at the higher elevations. The Highline Trail is closed at Logan Pass to Granite Park due to snow and the Hidden Lake Trail beyond the overlook is also closed due to snow.
Logan Pass saw several inches of snow earlier this week. But the chance of snow this weekend is nil, with highs in the 80s. The next chance of rain isn’t until Wednesday.
