Glacier Officials Announce Closure Date for Logan Pass

According to the latest news release on October 15, 2008.

Glacier National Park officials announce the winter closure of the 16-mile alpine section of Going-to-the-Sun Road (Sun Road) between Avalanche Creek and Logan Pass on Monday, October 20 at 8 a.m.

Park policy establishes a firm closing of the road between The Loop and Logan Pass. Given current Sun Road reconstruction, this closure will extend from Avalanche Creek to Jackson Glacier Overlook.

Typically the park has waited until conditions are bad and the crews have to work in nasty weather. Perhaps the new person in charge really has his troops well being in mind. Can't imagine there is any common sense floating around in those realms. Perhaps the political folks who usually apply pressure are too busy trying to save their own lives being as it is an election year and a lot of them are on the chopping block.

Whatever the reason it is good to see someone make a good choice.

That's my two cents worth for today......Have a great day..
