(GREAT FALLS) Going-to-the-Sun Road is temporarily closed between Avalanche Creek on the west side of the park and Jackson Glacier Overlook on the east side of the park.
Park officials said in a press release on Saturday afternoon that winter weather in high elevation areas of the road has created hazardous driving conditions, including freezing temperatures, black ice, accumulating snow, and decreased visibility.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory in effect from 9 pm tonight until 3 pm on Sunday for the west side of the park. A winter weather advisory is already in effect for the east side of the park. Up to six inches of snow is likely above 4,500 feet west of the Continental Divide.
