Gunsight Pass Trail and other closures

News and Adventure from Glacier National Park

I don’t believe this has been announced on the Glacier National Park website, or any of their social media sites. However, this was posted in the “Show Notifications” tab on the Glacier National Park Wilderness Permits page of Recreation.gov. This news will impact both day hikers and backpackers:

* Gunsight Lake Campground (GUN) and the trail from Gunsight Pass to Jackson Glacier Overlook trailhead will be closed from 9/1/23 – 9/16/23 due to a native trout preservation project at Gunsight Lake.

* The Gunsight Pass Trail from Lake Ellen Wilson Campground to Reynolds Creek Campground will be closed from 9/1/23 until 9/16/23. Backpackers planning to through hike from Lake McDonald to Jackson Glacier Overlook will need to modify their hiking plans during this time period.

* Round Prairie (ROU), Kintla Lake Head (KIN), Upper Kintla Lake (UPK), Boulder Pass (BOU), Hole in the Wall (HOL), Brown Pass (BRO), Bowman Lake Head (BOW), and Akokala Lake (AKO) campgrounds will be closed from 9/1/23 – 11/18/23 due to a bridge replacement project near the Polebridge ranger station.
