WEST GLACIER - The iconic Going-to-the-Sun Road is finally open and visitors are pouring into the park Wednesday marks one of the latest openings in park history. The park opened on the 13th in 2011 due to snow levels and in 2020 due to covid. The late opening this year was due to late winter weather and extended avalanche danger. “The weather helped us out this last week. Our road crews were able to make some much-needed progress on getting the road open. It was a big relief getting the road open this year," said Glacier Nation Park spokeswoman Gina Kerzman. Many tourists visited the park earlier in the season with hopes that the road would be open but Wednesday was the first day and visitors were thrilled to find out they could access the entire road.
