As of Wednesday afternoon, the crew were working between Triple Arches and Rim Rock. The precise timeline for the completion of the snow clearing operation is not stated, but the team is working diligently to ensure that the road is safe and accessible for visitors as soon as possible.
The entire Going-to-the-Sun Road typically does not open until sometime in mid to late June. This is due to the heavy snowfall the park experiences, which requires extensive clearing to ensure the safety of visitors. Despite this, the partial opening of the road for Mother’s Day weekend provides a great opportunity for families to enjoy the beauty of Glacier Park.
