Glacier National Park offers more details concerning opening of Going-to-the-Sun Road

News and Adventure from Glacier National Park

As mentioned over the weekend, Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park officially opened on Saturday morning. In a press release, the park offered a few more details that visitors should be aware of. They include the following:

* Services at Logan Pass include restroom facilities, but potable water is currently not yet available. Visitors should plan to bring their own drinking water.

* Visitor information services will be provided at the Logan Pass Visitor Center from 9 am to 7 pm daily starting June 22. The Glacier National Park Conservancy bookstore will be operating inside of the Logan Pass Visitor Center.

* While driving along the road, particularly through the Rim Rock area (approximately one mile west of Logan Pass) visitors should be aware of potential rockfall and should not slow down or stop in this section. Rocks and other debris continue to fall throughout the summer, requiring daily clean up. With the level of snow at Logan Pass, visitors should use extreme caution and refrain from crossing snowfields or standing under snow overhangs.

* The Highline Trail and a portion of Grinnell Glacier Trail remain closed due to hazardous snow conditions and emerging vegetation. Hidden Lake Trail will be closed June 15 to August 7 from the overlook to Hidden Lake due to bear activity near the lake outlet while fish are spawning.

* For up-to-date information on trail conditions and clearing activities, visit the park’s trail status webpage.
