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.

29/50 29 miles of Going-to-the-Sun Road are open for travel.

Full Going-to-the-Sun Road Status

Visitors can drive 15.5 miles from the West Entrance to Avalanche, and 13.5 miles from the St. Mary Entrance to Jackson Glacier Overlook.

Closures

The section of the road between Avalanche and Jackson Glacier Overlook is closed due to the following reasons. The seasonal closure on the upper portion of the Going-to-the-Sun Road is in effect. Hikers and bikers may still access the road as far as the hiker/biker closure sign. Be prepared for icy conditions, falling rocks, and maintenance vehicles working in the closed area.
