Western Montana’s Natural Treasure
Glacier National Park’s beauty is jaw dropping from every angle. With over 1 million acres of towering peaks, pristine meadows, cascading waterfalls, and sparkling lakes and rivers—plus wildlife watching and recreation opportunities—the park provides, quite simply, the vacation of a lifetime.
Glacier National Park has one of the largest intact ecosystems in the lower 48, and it's surprisingly easy to explore by road or trail. The Going-to-the-Sun Road—an engineering marvel and National Historic Landmark—takes visitors through the heart of the park over Logan Pass and is one of the most scenic drives in North America.
And while summer is the park’s busiest season, it’s open—and lovely—year-round. Autumn offers quiet exploration among golden hues and prime wildlife viewing. Winter in the park is perfect for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, and spring offers an opportunity to take a vehicle-free bicycle ride up the Going-to-the-Sun Road.
Please note: Glacier National Park will continue a pilot vehicle reservation system for the 2025 peak season—June 13 through September 28—to enhance visitor experience while managing traffic on the west side of Going-to-the-Sun Road and the North Fork during peak hours. Each location has unique details and requires a separate reservation. Additional details about the vehicle reservation system are available here.
Visitors will encounter extremely limited parking in the Many Glacier Valley due to a construction closure in the Swiftcurrent area. The construction zone is closed to ALL traffic until mid-May 2026; the only available parking is at Many Glacier Hotel.
