80-Foot Snow Drifts? Plows vs. Glacier Park

Can you imagine having to plow through snow drifts as tall as an 8-story building? That’s what crews are up against on Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park. The Big Drift can stack up to 100 feet of snow thanks to wild winds, and it can take a month just to clear one mile! They’re hoping to open the road earlier this year, but there’s still avalanche debris, boulders, and busted guardrails to fix. Road trip, anyone? #GlacierNationalPark #SnowDrifts #GoingToTheSunRoad #Montana #TravelNews #Transportation
