Glacier National Park Ealy Spring Conditions
Stumbled onto this article in the Kalispell, Mont. paper today. GNP saw above average snow this winter, on both the east and west sides. So for those planning rides over The Sun Road this year, the best guess is 3rd or 4th week of June...probably 4th week. These folks try hard to open that road ASAP since it means so much to the state's economy.

Here's a recent shot of the road between Browning and East Glacier. Brutal conditions.The only motorcycles the authorities were allowing through at this time were Ultra Limiteds ridden by seasoned geezers.

I am itching to get out and thought about doing a Missoula/Sandpoint/Nelson loop this weekend, but their calling for snow here tomorrow..... rats. Oh well, suppose to be Sunny & cool today, maybe a local ride. That’s a hell of a video.
For those that haven’t, here’s The Sun Road a few years ago ...... you truley can’t imagine it. She is bucket list material the entire route.
On the West Side looking East towards the Saddle (Logan Pass). The lower “cut” is the road, the one that comes back out of the saddle up and to the left is a hiking trail...... on a long weekend it is so busy you need brake lights and turn signals for passing on your backpack...... Always a place to park a bike at the top, even on the busiest weekend.

Wow, Beautiful Pics !! Was just kicking around the idea of a Montana/Wyoming/Idaho trip next year, and came across this. Any info would be appreciated (time to go/routes) . Never been to this area. Figure a July/August time-frame would be best. Been to Colorado 3 times, Tenn/NC twice and Utah parks once. This seems to be the next bucket list ride !
