Does anyone have any current comments on the 'Going to the Sun Road', Glacier National Park, Montana? Thinking about checking it out in mid June.
Thanks DArcy.

I started monitering the Pass a few days ago, in anticipation of doing a mid week sneak solo day run, there and back from Calgary. I tried to do a colour shoot there last fall, but the snow came before the leaves changed.
It was nice but very slow moving stop and go the whole way. Within a day of there is Bear Tooth pass which is much much better longer and way more fun. If your going to be in the area Bear tooth is much more recommended by me than Going to the sun.

I confess I have had a terror induced warm spot in my heart for Beartooth ever since I rode it at 11:00 p.m. in the snow, during the 1999 IBR, only to find out they closed the road right after I left Cook City. I wondered at the time why I didn't meet anybody the whole way.
...retrace your steps...
Good chance it won't be open all the way through in Mid June but go anyway, just allow plenty of time to retrace your steps.
Paul:
If you're in there in July or August, do it real early in the morning. It's a great experience.
Here's a summit shot from a few years ago; right after I restored the old RS (note the minimalist touring kit):
...I just figured out the Apex...PFranze
Paul:
If you're headed to Minnesota, you could combine Glacier with a run through the Beartooth, the BigHorns, and the Black Hills, on your way. But you've probably already figured that out. I did a photo essay on this trip in another forum, which I can send you, if you like.
P.S. Sorry about your Sharks, but maybe they can repeat the Philly miracle.
