In 2024, a vehicle reservation is required for three areas of the park: the west side of Going-to-the-Sun Road, the North Fork and Many Glacier. Each location has unique details and requires a separate reservation.
Every vehicle entering the Going-to-the-Sun Road beyond the Apgar Village area from May 24 through September 8, 2024, between the hours of 6 a.m. and 3 p.m., will need to have a vehicle reservation. The vehicle reservation is good for one day.
New in 2024, visitors will be able to access Apgar Village amenities, including the Apgar Visitor Center, without a vehicle reservation. Lodging, camping (including front country developed campgrounds and backcountry camping permits), transportation, and commercial activity reservations originating in Apgar will no longer provide access beyond the Apgar filter check point.
Reservations will not be required at the St. Mary Entrance for Going-to-the-Sun Road.
Every vehicle entering the park in the North Fork area through the Polebridge entrance station from May 24 to September 8, 2024, between the hours of 6 a.m. and 3 p.m., will need a vehicle reservation. The North Fork vehicle reservation is good for one day.
Every vehicle entering the Many Glacier Valley from July 1 through September 8, 2024, between the hours of 6 a.m. and 3 p.m., will need a vehicle reservation. The Many Glacier vehicle reservation is good for one day.
Again, the Going-to-the-Sun Road, North Fork and Many Glacier vehicle reservations are three separate reservations.
Vehicle reservations will be available through two types of booking windows. A portion of reservations will be available approximately four months, or 120-days, in advance, on a rolling basis. These advance reservations will be available through recreation.gov at 8 a.m. Mountain Time starting January 25, 2024. The remaining reservations will be available on at 7 p.m. Mountain Time for next-day entry starting on May 23, 2024.
Vehicle reservations must be purchased online at recreation.gov in advance or by contacting the call center at 877.444.6777 (toll-free), 606.515.6777 (international) or 877.833.6777 (TDD). Although the park does not charge for reservations, recreation.gov charges a $2 nonrefundable service fee.
You will only need one vehicle reservation no matter how many people are traveling in your vehicle.
You cannot give or sell your vehicle reservation to someone else. The purchaser of the reservation must be in the vehicle entering the park.
Print or save a digital copy (e.g., screenshot) of your Vehicle Reservation or valid service reservation. Cell service is unreliable (and in some areas unavailable) in the park.
In addition to a vehicle reservation, each vehicle entering the park is required to have an entrance pass for any entry point into the park. These passes could include any one of the following: a $35 vehicle pass, good for seven days; a valid Interagency Annual/Lifetime Pass; or a Glacier National Park Annual Pass (including Military, Access, Senior, and Every Kid Outdoors passes).
