Not trying to be picky on your June 16th date but here's what the FAQ for the Sun Road said. Just don't want anyone showing up early and be shut out.
**********************************
When will the Going-to-the-Sun Road open?
Portions of the Going-to-the-Sun Road remain open all year and provide access to many locations and activities. The earliest the Going-to-the-Sun Road could be accessible for its entire length is June 21, 2013. The actual date of opening will depend on whether Spring plowing is complete. Please visit our plowing status page to see plowing progress. In 2012, Logan Pass was accessible on June 19.
Plowing the Going-to-the-Sun Road is a monumental challenge each year. Unpredictable spring snow storms or other weather related events can slow down plowing progress. It is not uncommon for plowing crews to need to re-plow sections of park roads when weather events happen. Safety for our plowing crews, contractors, and the public is our utmost concern and priority. These unknown factors make predicting the opening of the Going-to-the-Sun Road impossible. Our plowing status page provides information on where plows are working. As the status of the road changes, we immediately update our road status page.
