Reservations system among options on table for Going-to-the-Sun road management plan at Glacier NP

Other potential actions included in a new Going-to-the-Sun Road Corridor Management Plan include limiting commercially guided hiking tours, adding vehicle parking spots, expanding shuttle service and making some trails one-way.
