Plowing the
Going-to-the-Sun Road
Glacier National Park's Scenic Wonder
As of May 8, 2008, The Going To The Sun
Road in Glacier National Park is open
for vehicle traffic to the McDonald Lake
Lodge parking lot. It will be open to
the Avalanche Campground as soon as
mother nature melts the snow.
The plowing crew is almost up to
Haystack Creek, and moving a little
slower than usual due to heavy snowpack
and a rotary not operating at 100%.
