Glacier west side July 2023
Right now the GNP west side is a mess. As you enter the park you will hit a construction zone about 5 or 6 miiles from the entrance on the Going to the Sun Rd. For the next 8 or 10 miles the road surface is ground off leaving a dirt road. The dust from this road is the worst I have ever seen, so thick at times that you cannot see oncoming traffic and it will cover you rig in a thick coating
The surface is occasionally potholed but not wash board.
It will double the time needed to get to Logan Pass
The park is VERY serious about the park entry passes and has set up checkpoints inside the park to look at them. After 3 PM you do not need on.
Road to polebride requires pass and is not too bad, They really do have very good pastry at the bakery. Afyer Polebridge the road is much worse woth a six mile on lane road with lots of oncoming traffic which can barely squeeze by. White knuckled road.
