WEST GLACIER, MONT. - At approximately 2:15 p.m. on Friday, June 18, Glacier National Park managers extended vehicle access on the west side of the Going-to-the-Sun Road (Sun Road) to Big Bend, 29 miles from the west entrance. Vehicle access on the east side of Sun Road remains at Jackson Glacier Overlook, 13.5 miles from the St Mary entrance. Vehicle access is subject to change depending on weather and road conditions.
The public is reminded that based on safety concerns due to road crew personnel working in the Logan Pass areas over the weekend, Glacier superintendent Chas Cartwright has directed that no public access will be allowed beyond vehicle barricades until further notice.
