With construction on GTTS Road, you can't speed through the approximately 50 miles, so might as well take it slow and easy, especially around the tight curves! The wait time varies through construction zones, but we didn't mind as this is all needed to maintain safety on this narrow, winding road. Driving at this pace, makes it easy to make... More

No one should miss all there is to see and do at Glacier National Park (Montana), but Going to the Sun Road should be at the top of the list, if you don't do anything else. The scenary is amazing, especially to the west of Logan's Pass (the Continental Divide). The driving might be a bit white-knuckled, but the park's... More

Hiking and views galore, too numerous to write here. Not to be missed, though! Make sure the pass is open before you go - usually by late June. This past year it opened very late, not until July. Too much snow to move out of the way. More

While there is still road construction going on, it is a superb road to travel in the summer time. I have taken that road a couple of times since my arrival in Lethbridge. As an added attraction, take the Red Tour buses (lets you take more pictures without having to worry about driving at the same time.). More

We could only get to the Avalanche area from the SW entrance, so can't speak for the entire route. Scenery is spectacular!! By going on May 1st, we obviously missed the crowds. The only wildlife we saw was a couple ground squirrels. More

The views were spectacular and fascinating to imagine how the road was built. We took the road up to a beautiful hike. More

I guess Going To The Sun Road is OK. This is only for people who enjoy stunning vistas, humorous and friendly mountain goats, and engineering wonders. WARNING, if you go early in the season you will be forced to sit and wait for 10-15 minutes at a time due to yearly road construction. You will be compelled to leave the... More

First, I love Glacier National Park. It is a jewel in our National Park system. As for the Going-to-the-Sun Road, it is a must drive. The road is quite the engineering marvel, especially knowing when it was built. The road is not a fast drive. Expect traffic and limited ability to pass slow moving vehicles. But who cares when you... More
