If you're headed to Glacier National Park, this could impact your plans.

Our plans are for the east side but we may want to stray.

Hopefully it will be cleaned up in the next week or so.

So far the preps are taking their toll.

I hope it's not a bad sign.

Since you're staying on the east side you can still make it up to Logan's Pass. Hopefully, no more landslides! There's always highway 2 to which will get to you to the west side. However, the east side is the prettier side of the park.

Whoa!

As you drive Hwy 2, be sure to stop at the Goat Lick overlook. We found 9pm the best time to see them and it was plenty light enough still.

The road re-opened yesterday, but they have flash flood warnings again today. Hopefully, it won't cause any problems.
