WEST GLACIER- Crews are still trying to clear Going-to-the-Sun road in Glacier National Park after storms brought more than 16 inches of new snow in the end of May.
The park service still plans to open Logan Pass to vehicle access mid-June.
About 29 miles of the road are open right now. Visitors can drive about 15 miles from the park's west entrance to Avalanche, or about 13 miles from the St. Mary entrance to Jackson Glacier Overlook on the east side.
Glacier is expected to get more rain this week, which could cause extra hazards.
Crews are also facing new snow slides as deep as 15 feet on the west side of Logan Pass, and two avalanches hit Triple Arches and the Slopes areas last week.
