Glacier National Park announced Friday that Going-to-the-Sun Road has fully opened to cars for the season.
The opening comes ahead of the busy Fourth of July weekend.
Park officials are increasing the number of tickets to drive up the pass now that the road is fully open.
This is the first year Glacier has implemented a ticketed entry system in an effort to control crowds on Going-to-the-Sun Road.
Tickets are required between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. The park says to expect long lines if entering the park after 5 p.m. Tickets will also be required to ride the park’s shuttle service, which will begin on July 1.
Services at the Logan Pass Visitor Center will be limited with water and bathrooms available. Limited entry will be available in the bookstore.
