Snow Near Logan Pass

It takes months for National Park Service (NPS) to clear snow before Going to the Sun Road can be opened to public car traffic, opening usually around late June, depending on weather; famous road is about 55 miles east to west; up near Logan Pass, both sides of road flanked by as much as 25 feet of snow walls; Logan Pass is where this famous road crosses over the Continental Divide, altitude just shy of 6700 feet; as of last weekend, there was still section of road on east side where snow drifts had road completely covered, snow bulldozers still have to clear that
