Logan Pass Road Open ia
Through Traffic Sunday

The highway over Logan Pass
will be open for traffic by
Friday, June LIST, it was announc.
ed by the park service today.
The big plows reached the
summit from the east side sew.
cral days ago. but the heavy
accumulation of snow during
the winter prevented the opening
of the road the entire distance
to the top of the divide. The
rest rooms were completely GOV.
cred with snow. and much of
this had to be removed. and the
grounds cleared for parking be.
fore traffic could be opened. 1t
was first thought that the road
to the summit could be opened
by Memorial Day. but this would
have intcrfered with the work
of the heavy machinery being
used in the removal of the snow,
and it was decided to delay the
opening until Friday.
The Logan Pass road is being
opened much earlier this year
than last. and the work has been
vigorously pushed from both the
east and west sides. with traffic
being permitted up the east
side as fast as the big plows
could remove the snow. Wea.
Their has been a big factor in
making it possible to open at this
date.
All indications point to a
record attendance in the park
this year. and out.of.state traf.
fic is increasing steadily at this
early date. The formal opening
of the park will occur on June
Is. as in former years.
The comfort station located
on top will not be open. but
facilities are available at Sun
Point on the cast side and a,
Avalanche on the west side.
