Winter

Winter transforms Glacier National Park into a serene, snow-covered landscape. While most of the park's roads are closed due to snowfall, visitors can still access approximately 12.5 miles of the Going-to-the-Sun Road—11 miles from Apgar to Lake McDonald Lodge on the west side and 1.5-miles from St. Mary on the east.

Despite limited road access, there’s plenty to do. The Going-to-the-Sun Road near Lake McDonald Lodge is ideal for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Guided winter experiences are available through Whitefish Outfitters and Glacier Institute.

Camping is available at Apgar and St. Mary, while lodging options can be found outside the park in Columbia Falls and West Glacier.
