Lodges in Glacier & Waterton Lakes National Parks
Glacier National Park will close the alpine part of Going-to-the-Sun Road, the 48.7-mile scenic byway that bisects the Montana park, earlier this year than usual to repair damage caused by storms last fall. On Sept. 16, the road will be shut down from Avalanche to Siyeh Bend, cutting off access to 6,646-foot Logan Pass, a popular lookout point, and the Logan Pass Visitors Center.
Hikers and bikers will be able to travel six miles beyond the closure, but the visitor center will shut down Saturday Snows usually force seasonal closures of the road by November.
