A through-drive decision first: current NPS status, the source language behind it, and no guessed opening date when mountain weather changes the answer.

The decision
What this tool is trying to answer
Going-to-the-Sun Road has a huge difference between some lower sections being open and actually being able to drive across the park. This tool is designed around that distinction and reports only what the current NPS source supports.
Look specifically for through travel, not merely an open entrance segment.
Road status can change quickly for weather, construction or seasonal closure.
Vehicle restrictions and reservation rules are separate from the road being physically open.
How to use this result
Make the decision from the status, freshness and evidence together
Start with the current decision, then check the timestamp and source excerpt before changing a route, reservation or departure time. A green-looking condition is only useful when the underlying source is current. If the tool returns VERIFY or LIVE SOURCE UNAVAILABLE, open the official source instead of treating an old reading as an all-clear. Recheck close to departure because roads, alerts, water levels and mountain weather can change after you first plan the trip.
