The usual signs of spring are showing up in Glacier country. The bears are starting to emerge from hibernation and the Sun Road plows are coming out of hibernation too. I'm not sure where to find the bears, but I do enjoy following the plows:

Be advised, due to the resurfacing project on Going to the Sun Road, Logan Pass will not be accessible before June 21 at the earliest.
And the big question we are starting to hear is when will the Highline Trail into Granite Park be open? The answer to that is no one knows. Typically it is sometime in the first week of July, but Mother Nature always has final say.
If it helps, here are the Highline Trail opening dates from the last ten years:
July 4, 2018; July 6, 2017; July 6, 2016; July 1, 2015; July 17, 2014; July 13, 2013; July 27, 2012; July 29, 2011; July 9, 2010; July 3, 2009.
We are looking forward to getting on the trail with you.
