Wintry Conditions Close Section Of Going-To-Sun Road At Glacier National Park

Share

A preview of winter blew into Glacier National Park on Tuesday and shut down a portion of the Going-to-the-Sun Road due to hazardous driving conditions.

Park officials said visitors can drive the Going-to-the-Sun Road approximately 28 miles from the West Entrance to Big Bend and 13.5 miles from the St. Mary Entrance to Jackson Glacier Overlook on the east side of the park before reaching the closure.

The higher elevations of Glacier National Park were being hit by conditions including wind, snow, ice, and limited visibility. Winter weather conditions were anticipated to continue through Wednesday at the higher elevations.

The Going-to-the-Sun Road was to remain closed between Big Bend and Jackson Glacier Overlook until conditions improve, the park said.
