MT 49, East side of Glacier NP ?????
We will be coming from the north to head into Glacier NP, I'm curious to know if MT 49 is okay to pull through, or by-passing into Browning like the map? Thanks MT Route

I found that length sign on Streetview - at least for south bound traffic on US89.

This motorcycle site describes 49 as 'fairly technical'. Partly that's due to the curves, but more to the road surface, which is gravel in spots due to winter wear.
It's also called Looking Glass Hill Road.

says it was part of US2 before a major bridge was put of Two Medicine Creek (1941). There is a brand new bridge with a wider deck.

GM Streetview crosses the old bridge with the new construction just to the south:
