News and Adventure from Glacier National Park

Unfortunately the park is no longer providing any updates on the Reynolds Creek Fire. The only information is coming from the Inciweb website, which was last updated last night. Here are a few items, including a map of the area impacted by the fire (click on photo for more details):

* There are currently 454 personnel fighting the fire at this time.

* The official size of the fire remains at approximately 4,000 acres, with 10% containment.

* The Going-to-the-Sun Road remains closed between the St. Mary entrance on the east side and Big Bend on the west side.

* The St. Mary Campground, the Rising Sun Motor Inn, and the Rising Sun Campground have been evacuated. The St. Mary Visitor Center is also closed to the public.

Although the fire continues to burn in the St. Mary Valley, the rest of the park is still open, with tons of outstanding hiking opportunities available. Remember, the park is more than one million acres in size. The Two Medicine, Many Glacier, Belly River, Bowman Lake and Lake McDonald areas all provide hikes that offer epic Glacier National Park scenery.
