going to the sun road

A 14 year-old girl from Utah was killed on Monday after falling rocks struck her family’s vehicle while traveling on Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road.

The driver of a car traveling along the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park swerved to avoid a vehicle stopped in the roadway.

On Monday, significant avalanche activity at Triple Arches on the Going-to-the-Sun Road trapped thirteen cyclists on the far side of avalanche debris and left them unable to return down the mountain for a number of hours.

Access will only be permitted to shuttles and tour services. No private vehicles will be permitted.

As Glacier National Park gears up for the busy summer tourism season, crews have been busy removing snow from the famed Going to the Sun Road.

Glacier joined the National Park system on this date in 1910. Glacier borders Alberta and British Columbia and is comprised of over 1 million acres.
