Shuttle Service

There are several ways to explore Glacier National Park. While you can drive your own vehicle, consider leaving the driving to the professionals and taking in the scenery via the park's shuttle service or a guided interpretive tour.

Shuttles serve Logan Pass from both sides of Going-to-the-Sun Road. West side routes depart from Apgar Transit Center and Lake McDonald Lodge, with afternoon stops at the Loop. East side routes depart from St. Mary Visitor Center and Rising Sun. Riders can transfer between routes at Logan Pass.

Do I need a reservation for the shuttle?

Yes. Park shuttles in 2026 operate as a reservation-only express service beginning July 1, 2026. If you plan to ride, you must purchase your shuttle ticket in advance on recreation.gov.

Interpretive Bus Tours

Another transportation option is an interpretive bus tour. Two concessioners offer tours: Glacier National Park Lodges and Sun Tours. Glacier National Park Lodges operates the historic Red Bus Tours, where open-air buses driven by "jammers" provide expansive views and insights into the park’s history.

Sun Tours offers Blackfeet interpretive tours along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, sharing how the park’s landscapes connect to the Blackfeet Nation—past and present.
