Special Weather Statement issued June 9 at 10:15AM MDT by NWS Missoula MT
Widespread snow will impact the Glacier Park region above 5,000 feet tonight through Wednesday as a cold system moves through the area. Confidence is high for accumulating snow, with most areas seeing at least 2 to 4 inches of snow above 5,000 feet. Isolated snow amounts up to 12 inches will impact higher mountain peaks above 6,000 feet. Those heading into the backcountry and higher elevations should prepare for winter-like conditions. An elevated risk will exist for hypothermia.
About
Sprague Creek Campground sits on the northeast shore of Lake McDonald, approximately 9.5 miles from Glacier National Park's West Entrance along Going-to-the-Sun Road. The heavily forested campground provides shade during warm summer days, with some sites offering direct views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The campground is designed for small-footprint camping. All vehicles and vehicle combinations must be under 21 feet in length and 8 feet in width. No towed units of any size are permitted, and generators are prohibited at all times. Each of the 25 sites includes a fire ring (no grate) and picnic table. Flush toilets and potable water are available on site, though there are no showers or hookups. The historic Lake McDonald Lodge is about a mile away, offering a camp store, restaurant, gift shop, boat tours, and ranger evening programs. The park's free shuttle system stops at this campground, providing access to other destinations along Going-to-the-Sun Road.
