Glacier National Park plows less than a mile from Logan Pass

| April 26, 2024 6:25 AM

Glacier National Park Going-to-the-Sun Road snowplow crews are knocking on the door of Logan Pass. This week they reached the point just below Rim Rocks on the west side and plan to start plowing that area on Monday.

Rim Rocks is just under a mile from Logan Pass. Snow depths were between 2 and 10 feet.

On the east side the crew worked from Jackson Glacier Overlook to Siyeh Bend and will be moving beyond Siyeh Bend next week, the Park Service said.

The hiker-biker closure on the east side is at the Grizzly pullout when crews are not working.

The hiker-biker closure on the west side is Road Camp when crews aren’t working.

Crews typically don’t work on the weekends. The closure points can change depending on conditions. Folks can text GNPROADS to 333111 to get the latest updates.

Folks can drive the Sun Road as far as Lake McDonald Lodge on the west side and Rising Sun on the east side. 

The Many Glacier, Camas, and Chief Mountain roads are all open to vehicles.
