[I have been fortunate to ride and drive up and down this road, although not in the winter; a truly great experience and an impressive piece of road construction, especially as an engineering geologist]

A view from along the Going To The Sun Rd in #GlacierNationalPark I think this was not too far from the summit where Logan Pass is.
This was a somewhat large pull off. And while there was traffic the wind was what you mostly heard and felt.

Color photo from Glacier National Park looking out over a field of green with purple flowers. On the right is part of the Going To The Sun Road.  In the background are a couple mountains going off into the distance with a bright but cloudy sky.  Great skies for photography this day.
