Temporary road closure possible for GTSR due to weather

Great Smoky Mountains National Park announces selection of park concessioner to operate LeConte Lodge 

Glacier National Park in West Glacier, Montana, is gearing up for a possible temporary closure of the alpine sections of Going-to-the-Sun Road due to anticipated severe weather. The park authorities are taking necessary precautions to ensure the safety of visitors and staff in case the forecasted weather system results in dangerous road conditions.

The potential closure will affect the stretch of Going-to-the-Sun Road between Avalanche and Rising Sun. This decision comes as part of an ongoing effort by the National Park Service to prioritize safety in the face of inclement weather. The exact duration of the closure will be determined by the severity of the weather system and its impact on the road conditions.

Visitors are advised to keep an eye on the Glacier National Park’s official website for updates on the situation. The park is committed to keeping the public informed about any changes to the operational status of Going-to-the-Sun Road and other park facilities.
