Throughout the fall and winter seasons, the entrance station at West Glacier is staffed on weekends. Visitors are reminded that valid park entry is required year round.

During weekdays, visitors can stop at park headquarters in West Glacier for information and assistance, or call 406-888-7800 for general park information, including the specific location of hiker/biker closures.

Current road conditions, updated as conditions change, and additional details are available at the park’s website, www.nps.gov/glac, or by calling 406-888-7800.
