Winter conditions limit access to Logan Pass

Access to Glacier National Park’s Logan Pass by vehicles is being limited due to recent weather conditions.

Vehicle traffic is only allowed on the Going-to-the-Sun Road on the east side from St. Mary to the Jackson Glacier Overlook due to icy road conditions.

It is anticipated that the road will be open to Logan Pass on the east side once temperatures increase and road conditions change.

The recent storm dumped 14 inches of snow at the Logan Pass Visitor Center Parking Lot. Continued low temperatures have allowed ice to build and remain on the Going-to-the-Sun Road at higher elevations.

The west side of the road is open to Avalanche Creek and the remainder of the road is closed to vehicles for accelerated rehabilitation work on the road. Hiker-biker access on the west side is open and unlimited this weekend. Some of the asphalt on the road above Avalanche Creek area has been removed, so hikers and bikers should use caution as those sections of the road have been milled and there is loose gravel.

As scheduled, the last day to access Logan Pass for the season from the east side is Sunday, Oct. 14, depending on weather.
