Glacier National Park in Montana Posts Winter Arrangements: Visitor Centers Closed for the Season, Primitive Camping Year-Round at Apgar and St. Mary, Many Glacier Road Closes the Third Weekend in November
Glacier National Park in northwestern Montana has moved into its winter operating pattern, according to the National Park Service operating hours page. The park is open year-round, but conditions and accessible areas vary greatly by season, and most businesses and services operate only during the summer season from late May through September.
The visitor centers closed in late September and early October. Restrooms at the Apgar Visitor Center, two miles north of the West Entrance, remain open year-round. Planning information is available on the park website and on the Travelers Information Station at 1610 AM, and by phone at 406-888-7800.
On roads, Going-to-the-Sun Road usually remains fully open until the third Monday in October, conditions permitting, after which the west-side closure gate moves to Avalanche Creek or Lake McDonald Lodge as weather dictates, with the east-side gate also set by weather. The Many Glacier Road closes the third weekend in November, weather permitting. The Two Medicine Road closes for the season once inclement weather and snow accumulation require it.
Primitive camping is available year-round at Apgar and St. Mary campgrounds. Apgar Campground has a vault toilet and no running water, and availability is first-come, first-served. Plowing winter snows from park roads can take two and a half to three months.
The Park Service notes that services are very limited in winter, with most businesses and services in and near the park closed from early October through late May, and winter visitors should plan ahead, be self-sufficient, and check same-day road and weather conditions.
