WEST GLACIER- Some more services are available for visitors to Glacier National Park with officials reporting that there are now over 90 miles of road open.

The road into Cutbank Creek is open and the campground is scheduled to open on June 17th. Meanwhile, Avalanche Campground and Rising Sun Motor Inn opened on June 10th while Saint Mary boat tours also began operation on June 10.

With an unusually heavy snowpack, "park officials are striving to set reasonable and safe goals for openings and have announced a few delays," according to a press release.

Sperry Chalet will delay opening from July 8th to July 15th, due to significant, lingering snowpack. Two Medicine boat trips will delay opening until conditions warrant. Many Glacier, Two Medicine, and Cutbank Campgrounds will open June 17th at the earliest.

Crews are still plowing the Going-to-the-Sun Road and the initial plowing has been completed to the Big Bend on the west side. Park officials report crews are encountering drifts between 10 and 20 feet.

On the east side, crews are plowing the No Stump Point area, approximately one mile beyond Siyeh Bend. There is no date set for when the upper section of the Sun Road will be cleared for across park travel.

"This is a great time to be in Glacier National Park. We certainly have had a dynamic spring; however, there are plenty of opportunities to recreate and enjoy Glacier National Park," said Park Superintendent Chas Cartwright, "Rivers, creeks and streams are flowing at very high levels right now. Visitors are reminded to stay away from the edges of river banks, and to avoid climbing on logs and rocks adjacent to rivers, streams and creeks as falls into swift moving water can be deadly. "

Park officials anticipate higher water levels in creeks, streams and rivers throughout the park for a longer duration than usual with some reaching flood stage.
