Glacier National Park allowed hikers and bikers to go as far as the Loop on the Going-to-the-Sun Road over the weekend. It was brought back down to Avalanche on Monday when crews started plowing again.

Plows have made it to Grizzly Point, which is beyond the Loop, but the road is closed to public entry due to avalanche danger, park officials said.

The road is closed to vehicles at the Lake McDonald Lodge.

On the east side, the Sun Road has no hiking restrictions beyond the gate at Rising Sun, though it is closed to biking because of ice.

On the east side, plows were still working in the Many Glacier area. The Two Medicine Road is open to hikers and bikers, but closed at the park boundary to vehicles. Many Glacier Road is open to hikers and bikers, but not to vehicles, too.

The Camas Road is open to hiking and biking, but not vehicles.
