Western Montana's Glacier Country

Going-to-the-Sun Road

Taking visitors through the heart of Glacier National Park and cresting the Continental Divide at Logan Pass is the Going-to-the-Sun Road. An engineering marvel and National Historic Landmark, the Going-to-the-Sun Road connects West Glacier and St. Mary and provides travelers with stunning view of mountain peaks, high valley, wildflowers and wildlife. Perhaps the most popular attraction in Glacier National Park, the Going-to-the-Sun Road is one of most scenic drives in the nation.

Glacier National Park is reopening in phases, so expect things to be a little out of the ordinary this year. PLEASE TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY. Plan well, monitor and adjust, stay safe, be respectful, be kind, be patient, and be prepared.

50/50 50 miles of Going-to-the-Sun Road are open for travel.
