Driving on the gravel part of Many Glacier Road. It's been like this for a couple years. Apparently the geology of this area is such that they can't figure out what kind of material to use to create a road that will stick. It's about 5 miles or so I think. Sherburne Lake on left and you can actually see Salamander Glacier in the distance left.

Unfortunately, the dust is always terrible here.

The road is in poor condition due to historic and ongoing soil movement at specific locations along Sherburne Reservoir. There are six “slide” areas along the road within the park boundary. Slides occur when water saturates the soils underneath the road bed, resulting in the earth slipping towards the reservoir, causing depressions or “slumps” in the road. Some slumps can extend dozens of feet below the ground, and hundreds of feet in length.

The movement along the roadway dates back to the construction of the Sherburne Dam between 1914 and 1921. The Many Glacier Road was constructed in 1927-28 and three slides immediately formed. Over the years, attempts to fix the slump areas have resulted in significant pavement placed on the road, adding to its weight and exacerbating the problem.
