Glacier Park Plows Reach Logan Pass

Officials still unclear when road will be open to the top

By Beacon Staff

Plows on Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road reached Logan Pass on Wednesday afternoon, however it’s unclear when the road will be open to vehicle traffic.

Plows from the east side of the park are still battling west and on Thursday were working near the East Tunnel. Once plow crews clear the tunnel they’ll begin to plow the “Big Drift,” which is about a half-mile from Logan Pass. Spokesperson Jennifer Lutman said it’s unclear how deep the drift is but plow crews believe it is bigger than previous years.

Even though the west side of the Sun Road has been cleared, crews still need to clear debris and install guardrails. Lutman said the road will likely open to Logan Pass sometime after June 20.
