KALISPELL, Mont. – Lingering winter conditions on Logan Pass have prompted Glacier National Park officials to relocate the 75th anniversary celebration of the Going-to-the-Sun Road.

The celebration has been moved to Lake McDonald Lodge but will still be held on June 27, park spokeswoman Amy Vanderbilt said Thursday.

“We are doing that because of the continued snowy weather, the new snow accumulations and the prospect that the Logan Pass area will still be under snow and it will not be ready for traffic yet.”
