If they say the road isn't open, believe them! Last year, we arrived
in Glacier NP in mid-June -- the road was open as far as the lodge.
After that, completely closed because of rock and mud slides and snow
accumulation. We drove in and out on the same road. Since we were
going to the other side, we had to drive around 200 miles to the south
and around -- very inconvenient. If we had realized the road would
not be open in mid-June, we would have changed our route completely.

I experienced the same problem when I visited last year. I really
wanted to drive this famous route. Fortunately, the trip around the
south of the park to the eastern entrance was also spectacular. So if
anyone else is in this situation, bear this in mind. It makes for a
longer day, sure, but it is a good day.

That's a shame as that route is spectacular, with excellent hiking along
it. The amount of time before they will need to change the name of the
park to No Glaciers National Park is probably is not a lot, years, not
decades, so anyone that hasn't been there yet should go as soon as possible.
