ashley89+FollowGlacier’s Iconic Road Is Open—But There’s a CatchGoing-to-the-Sun Road is finally open for the season, but you’ll need a timed entry reservation if you want to drive in from the west side before 3 p.m. (east side is chill, no res needed). Missed out? Next-day spots drop at 7 p.m. on Recreation.gov. Parking is still a nightmare, so the free shuttle is your friend (if you don’t mind waiting). Heads up: no food or water at Logan Pass, and watch for falling rocks! #GlacierNationalPark #GoingToTheSunRoad #TravelTips #Travel251Share
Kevin Nicholson+Follow80-Foot Snow Drifts? Plows vs. Glacier ParkCan you imagine having to plow through snow drifts as tall as an 8-story building? That’s what crews are up against on Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park. The Big Drift can stack up to 100 feet of snow thanks to wild winds, and it can take a month just to clear one mile! They’re hoping to open the road earlier this year, but there’s still avalanche debris, boulders, and busted guardrails to fix. Road trip, anyone? #GlacierNationalPark #SnowDrifts #GoingToTheSunRoad #Montana #TravelNews #Transportation00Share
