Park wilderness

In response to the Quartz Lake fish barrier in Glacier National Park, I am wondering: Where is the dam on the Going-to-the-Sun Road for non-native cars? The dam for non-native low-flying aircraft? The dam for non-native chainsaws, Pionjars and dynamite used by trail crews? The dam for non-native motorboats used by biologists on backcountry lakes? It has become a joke that Glacier is even “managed” as wilderness.
