Sun Road reopened

Going-to-the-Sun Road has reopened after park officials made the proactive decision to close it at 5 p.m. on Sept. 6,, due to heavy rain and possible rockfall that made the road susceptible to flooding and mudslides.

Park rangers accessed the roadway and after evaluating today's weather forecast, opened the road around 2 p.m. Sept. 8. The road had been closed from Avalanche to Jackson Glacier Overlook.

West Glacier saw just under 2 inches of rain, but it's been so dry that most streams didn't even get off-color.
