Glacier Park weekend road report
Hungry Horse News | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 11 years, 12 months AGO
Both the Two Medicine and the Many Glacier roads are now fully open in Glacier National Park.
The Going-to-the-Sun Road is now open to Avalanche Creek, and there are no hiker-biker restrictions beyond that when plows are not working.
There will be hiker and biker restrictions on the west side of the Sun Road beginning May 6 when road construction starts up again.
Park snowplows on the west side of the Sun Road have reached Goose Point, about four miles from Logan Pass. On the east side, crews were plowing in the St. Mary Falls area.
