WEST GLACIER, Mont. (AP) — Visitors were lined up 100 vehicles deep at Glacier National Park's west entrance Tuesday morning to take advantage of the first opportunity in more than a week of fires to drive across the park.

‘‘It was just good to get back to business,'' said park spokeswoman Amy Vanderbilt.

The west side of the popular Going-to-the-Sun Road over Logan Pass has been closed since July 23 because of forest fires that also closed the park's west entrance and led to the evacuation of the West Glacier area. While the fires continue to burn, park officials determined it was safe to reopen the road for daytime travel.

In addition to the vehicles lined up at the west side of the Going-to-the-Sun Road, Vanderbilt said another 20 vehicles were waiting at the top of Logan Pass, having driven up from the east entrance.

Vanderbilt said the road would be open only from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. for now and that visitors were asked not to stop between the west entrance and Logan Pass. But that could change.

‘‘We're taking life day by day and we anticipate this schedule will continue for a period of days,'' Vanderbilt said.

Favorable weather, with moderate temperatures and high humidity, continued to help firefighters in and around Glacier National Park Tuesday.

Fire information officer Andy Williams said fire officials had downsized the Robert Fire, which once threatened park headquarters and West Glacier, from 24,400 acres to about 24,000 acres Tuesday.

He said firefighters were consolidating their lines around the fire and trying to prevent it from burning north into some prime huckleberry country.

‘‘Grizzly bears eat that stuff,'' Williams said. ‘‘Bears might decide they want to come down and eat something else (if the huckleberries burn).''

The weather also helped firefighters with the 25,200-acre Wedge Canyon fire, which was burning about five miles from the Canadian border and had so far burned about 4,000 acres in Glacier. The fire was about 47 percent contained, officials said.

To date, the fire has destroyed seven homes and damaged one. It has also burned 29 outbuildings.

The Trapper Creek Complex of fires, also in Glacier National Park, was estimated at between 20,000 acres and 20,500 acres Tuesday and was about 40 percent contained, officials said. An earlier estimate that the fire complex was 45 percent contained was revised downward later in the day.

Most of the campgrounds on the west side of Glacier are open, Vanderbilt said, including Apgar, Avalanche Creek and Sprague Creek. The Apgar Village Lodge, Apgar Village Inn and historic Lake McDonald Lodge also are open.

Park fees were waived on Monday because of travel restrictions, but were being collected as usual on Tuesday, officials said.

The east side of the park, and the Going-to-the-Sun Road east of Logan Pass is open 24 hours.

The elite team from Alaska called in two weeks ago to manage the fires in and around Glacier was returning home Tuesday. Officials were turning management of the fire over to another interagency team. The Alaska team stopped the Robert fire short of West Glacier and park headquarters with a series of risky ‘‘burnouts.''

In the Bob Marshall Wilderness 47 miles southeast of Kalispell, officials were monitoring another fire that grew to about 13,500 acres over the weekend.

The fire burned the historic Holbrook Cabin and was threatening buildings at Big Prairie, where fire crews were putting protection for the buildings in place. Spotted Bear District Ranger Deb Mucklow said the fire would be ‘‘watched and monitored and managed.''

‘‘We'll try to steer it, but this is in the heart of wilderness,'' she said.

The Treasure County Complex of fires, south of Hysham in eastern Montana, was controlled Tuesday. The final acreage on the three fires making up the complex was just under 10,000 acres.

The 7,275-acre Black Frog Complex of fires, about five miles south of Lost Trail Pass, was mostly burning in Idaho. It was 90 percent contained Tuesday. By midweek, there will only be about 100 of nearly 600 firefighters left on the blaze to take care of mop-up, according to spokesman Jack De Golia.
