Logan Pass: The Calm Before the Storm

Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road opened fully to vehicle traffic on June 16, 2025, followed by a few days of fair weather. Forecasters predict up to a foot of snow in the higher reaches of the park over the summer solstice weekend, leading to a temporary closure of the road’s alpine stretch.
