Glacier is a bit out of the way from the Sweet Grass crossing. Maybe just cross at Carway instead.
With the heavy snows they've already had this year, the first week of May will probably be a little early. Going to the Sun Road will definitely still be closed, but there's still things to see. St. Mary CG in the park is open but no water. Primitive camping at that point in time.
If you're planning on continuing up through Banff and Jasper, you will similarly still find things pretty snowed in at that time.
