Just remember no vehicle over 21' in length is allowed on it. My pickup alone is to long.

I've seen this posted before also. Frankly, I do not know their regulations.

However, I did drive over Logan Pass/Going to the Sun with my previous vehicle, a 2003 Chevy crew cab dually long box.

Not a problem, and it is surely the same length if not just a little more than the quoted vehicle above.

The only thing mentioned to me when I entered the park was to keep my mirrors in their innermost position, not extended in their tow position.

That's good to know, thanks. I'd wondered if my Silverado (same generation as yous, and also a crew cab dually long bed) would be turned back.

This is what we were told when we were there in July 2000.

We bicycled it a few years ago. The road was just recently cleared of snow, but was not yet open to the public. It was wonderful to bicycle the road with NO traffic. We had it all to ourselves (a handful of other bicyclists, no vehicles).

There is also a width limit of 8 feet wide, and a height restriction of 10 ft. Here is a link. Going to the Sun rd

We will not be to St. Mary's until July 1st, but it's good to know that the road will be open.
