6 viewsOur last day in GNP was made up primarily of us driving through the park to get to the other side to head to Spokane since we had to fly out the next day. But thankfully, they got the entire Going to the Sun road cleared of snow by then (actually, they finally opened the road 9:30AM Thursday but unfortunately we wanted to get to the east side of the park on Tuesday).
