This is not correct. US 2 goes around the south side of the park, across Marias Pass. Marias Pass is about 4000 ft lower than Logan Pass---that's why it was chosen by Union Pacific for the rail route. US 2 is a good road, no bad grades or curves.
Another vote for US 2 route. Good road all the way through.
Oh, and it was Great Northern Railroad, now BNSF, who built their transcontinental route through Marias Pass. Union Pacific is nowhere close to that location.
