Last few hundred yards for me to get to Logan Pass, where the Going to the Sun Road crosses over the Continental Divide; visitor center left of pic; altitude is just shy of 6700 feet; this world famous road is only open to motor traffic about three months of every year (basically July, August and September); it is 55 miles long, straight across Glacier NP, running west to east; this road generally does not open to car traffic until maybe late June of each year, but is available to hikers, bikers and skiers beginning about May; MT residents take advantage of this time each year to have Glacier NP all to themselves, without the massive crowds that will be coming later, as soon as the road opensFriday, June 14, 2013
