Gates remain unchanged on Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park.

On the west side, Sun Road is open to vehicles as far as Avalanche, while on the east side motorists can drive to Jackson Glacier Overlook.

Hikers and bicyclists can travel beyond Avalanche as far as road conditions allow. The road beyond Jackson Glacier Overlook, however, is closed to hikers and bikers.

Most other roads in Glacier Park - Camas, Chief Mountain, Two Medicine and Many Glacier - are open for vehicles. The Cut Bank Creek road remains closed.

Roads into Bowman and Kintla lakes are open and the Inside North Fork Road is open as far as Logging Creek.

Two park campgrounds - Apgar and Sprague Creek - are fully open.

Primitive camping is available at Kintla, Bowman and St. Mary campgrounds.

Full summer fees are in effect for Glacier visitors.

A seven-day single-vehicle entrance fee is $25; the fee is $12 for single entrants (hikers, bicyclists or motorcyclists). A Glacier National Park Annual Pass is $35.
