Glacier National Park launches parking lot website

MISSOULA, Mont. – Glacier National Park has rolled out a new online tool that aims to help visitors find places to park.

The Missoulian reported Saturday that the Montana park’s Recreation Access Display gives live updates on campgrounds, parking lots, car access restrictions and weather.

The website has a chart indicating whether each campground is open, closed or full. It also gives the times when the campgrounds filled the previous day.

It gives the same information for each of the eight parking lots.

Park public affairs assistant Kristine Abbey says the website is currently for optimized for computers, but it does work on mobile phones.
