InformationTwo Medicine North Shore Trailhead Reroute
In 2026, Two Medicine's North Shore Trailhead is not accessible due to construction in the Two Medicine Campground. A reroute has been established to access the North Shore Trail but does require a ford (unbridged water crossing). Directional signage is in place marking the reroute. Hikers may also access Twin Falls, Upper Two Medicine Lake, No Name Lake, and Dawson Pass without a ford, by using the South Shore Trail. Note: this adds approximately 1 mile of distance, one-way.
InformationGoing-to-the-Sun Road is Open for 2026 Season
The Going-to-the-Sun Road is fully open for the 2026 summer season. The road may now be accessed by motorized vehicles over Logan Pass from both the West Glacier and St. Mary Entrances.
