Glacier National Park, Montana

Blending into its rugged mountain setting, the Going-to-the-Sun Road is 50 miles long and has been impressing motorists with roaring waterfalls, breathtaking vistas of jagged peaks, and icy glaciers since 1932.

Unfortunately, many of the park’s namesake glaciers have disappeared due to climate change. However, you’ll still be able to spot lots of mountain goats and bighorn sheep, especially near Logan Pass.

Best Time To Go: The road’s Alpine portions are typically fully open and cleared of snow between late June or early July through late October. While summer is the best time to visit, the park will be less packed in September and October.

Don’t Miss: Jackson Glacier Overlook, on the east side of the road between Logan Pass and St. Mary Village, is your best chance to see a glacier from the road.

  1. I have a painting that I did across from here called Washer Woman! I painted after our visit to Canyonlands and Arches National Parks five years ago! We took wrong turn as we really wanted to go to the area north of here and see where John Wayne made a lot of his movies too! But Moab was equally beautiful too!
    I can hardly wait to go back out there too! So much beauty that GOD gave us to enjoy everywhere you turn in America! So Go and enjoy it before it is too late with the way things are going in America now! Joannie
