Going-to-the-Sun Road has reopened following dangerous road conditions caused by snow and ice. The road closed at approximately 2 p.m. yesterday, between Avalanche Creek and Jackson Glacier Overlook.
Due to hazardous conditions caused by snow, slush, and ice, the Hidden Lake Trail and the Highline Trail from Logan Pass to Granite Park Chalet are closed.
The closures will remain in place until conditions improve. The park will continually evaluate trail conditions to see when the closures can be lifted. Check the park website for updated trail status information.
Visitors are encouraged to prepare for inclement weather if they plan to travel to the park this week. Check the weather forecast and park road status before you visit, dress for varying degrees of weather, carry the ten essentials, and be on alert for potential hazards on roadways and trails.
