Well, it looks like we won't be going thru Glacier National Park on our way north to Canada at this point. The plowing still continues on the "Going to the Sun" road with tons of snow! Here's the status as of today at 2:20 pm--check out the snow depths!!
Going-to-the-Sun Road Plowing Information
About Plowing the Going-to-the-Sun Road
Plowing the Going-to-the-Sun Road is a monumental challenge each year. Unpredictable spring snow storms or other weather related events can slow down plowing progress. It is not uncommon for plowing crews to need to re-plow sections of park roads when weather events happen. Safety for our plowing crews, contractors, and the public is our utmost concern and priority. These unknown factors make predicting the opening of the Going-to-the-Sun Road impossible.
West Side Plowing Activity
Friday, crews cleared 1.25 lanes from the first chute below Triple Arches to just short of Triple Arches. Snow depth was 35-40 feet. Today, crews plan to remove more snow in Triple Arches.
East Side Plowing Activity
Friday, crews worked in the East Tunnel. Snow depth was 30-50 feet. Today, crews will continue that same work.
Sorry to hear you will not be able to drive through this trip. I'm looking forward to visiting Glacier one of these years.
