Photos: Flooding in Northwest Montana

Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road was closed two miles north of Apgar Monday morning after flood waters washed away a culvert on the west side of the iconic highway. A section of the North Fork Road north of Columbia Falls was also closed as the region braces for another day of significant rainfall.
