Salvage work began today at the site designated for the park’s new Apgar Transit Center (ATC). The ATC will be built as part of the park’s long-range efforts to provide improved visitor experiences while reducing visitor impacts caused by the forthcoming Going-to-the-Sun (Sun) Road rehabilitation work. The Montana Conservation Corps (MCC) will assist the National Park Service with the tree clearing and salvage.

For more information, please see our press release.


Gary Danczyk, Project Manager for the Apgar Transit Center, explains to members of the MCC the significance of their work in what really is the first physical steps in this construction project.
