Going to the Sun Road Opens for the 2024 Season
« on: June 24, 2024, 05:28:54 pm »
Great news!
Going to the Sun Road in Glacier N.P. opened this past Saturday, June 22.
The bicycling restrictions have changed significantly.

The PREVIOUS restrictions were:
Apgar to Sprague Creek - Closed both directions from 11:00a to 4:00p.
Logan Creek to Logan Pass, Eastbound only - Closed from 11:00a to 4:00p.

The CURRENT restrictions are:
Apgar to Logan Pass - Closed both directions from 3:00p to 6:00p
This is due to the implementation of reservation entry for cars which ends at 3:00p each day.

It should make it easier for Eastbound cyclists,
although getting an early start from Sprague or Avalanche is still suggested.
For westbound cyclists, it will be a bit more difficult
getting to west side campgrounds and the Lake McDonald Lodge services in the afternoon.

It's some of the best cycling in the world.
Again, start at sunrise to enjoy it to the max.

>> There may still be icy/wet conditions at higher altitudes. Use caution.

Hi John,
We are in western North Dakota and will be heading towards Glacier.I heard about the restrictions but what about approaching from the East? Also I heard potable water is a problem in the park.
