Connecting West Glacier and St. Mary, the 50-mile-long Going-to-the-Sun Road travels along rolling foothills and past glacial-carved terrain before cresting the Continental Divide at 6,646-foot at Logan Pass. An engineering marvel and National Historic Landmark, this scenic roadway offers views of waterfalls, alpine peaks, and opportunities to spot mountain goats, bears and bighorn sheep.
While it’s the park’s most popular attraction, it’s also one of the most scenic drives in the nation. Private vehicles can access the road, and guided options are available through Red Bus Tours and Sun Tours. Spring is the ideal time to bike the Going-to-the-Sun Road before it’s open to vehicle traffic.

Beginning July 1, parking at Logan Pass will be limited to three hours—enough time to visit the Visitor Center, attend an interpretive program or hike to Hidden Lake Overlook. Visitors planning longer hikes—including the Highline Trail to Granite Park Chalet or to the Loop Trailhead—must use the park shuttle and will need a pre-reserved shuttle ticket. Overnight parking is not permitted, except for backcountry permit holders and registered Granite Park Chalet guests
