First Time we've driven the " Going to the Sun" road, tried once before and it was shut but boy it was an awesome drive. Mountain after Mountain and waterfalls too. Logan Pass has gift shops and information but in spite of being the wrong time of year to see wildlife its one of the best experiences we've had in the U.S.A.

We visited in Sept 2023 after Labor Day. You can drive through the park without a permit at this point. Traffic was on the heavy side and parking can be an issue in certain spots. The views were outstanding and only second to Alaska. We enjoyed many of the hiking trails in different areas of the park. Scenery is simply breathtaking. We took two boat rides while at GNP and both were very nice. On our final day there 9/20 we got to see the first snow hit the peaks. This was a top 5 trip for us. Would love to come back some day.

It's hard to put into words the amount of beauty that is contained within this park. My wife and I were lucky to be able to come here late last July and it was truly one of the best places we've ever visited. We stayed at a fantastic B&B in Columbia Falls and it was an easy drive from there to the park (only about 20 minutes). We spent 2 days in the park as we were on a road trip and we didn't have vehicle reservations for the first morning, so we decided to drive along the southern edge of the park and then up the eastern edge to enter at the St. Mary's area. This was very fun and the whole drive was very scenic, so I definitely recommend that if you miss out on reservations. The advantage was that we were driving back to our hotel when we got to the Going to the Sun Road, so it was a nice way to make sure we still had time to find a place for dinner after the park. St. Mary is a beautiful area and it's so very picturesque. We did a short hike to Virginia Falls and that was very fun, though it's mostly exposed, so make sure you have good sun protection on a hot summer day. We loved being able to see all the gorgeous sites along the Going to the Sun road and it's truly a drive that you have to experience once in your life. We also had the good fortune to find a parking spot near the Avalanche Lake Trail (very, very popular, so make sure you're here early) and this was one of our favorite hikes that we've ever done; the spectacular view of Avalanche Lake is truly worth the 5-6 mile roundtrip hike. We realized later that we could have spent our entire vacation exploring Glacier National Park and it's 100% a place that we will visit again in the future. It's just the best!

Beautiful Hiking experience. Amazing hiking and sometime it gets boring with same view but ultimately when you reach the final point it is like having reached another world with turquoise colored lakes, lush greenery, snow capped mountains. The weather has been very good and best for hiking.

This was one of the places that made me want to come to the USA. I did not have the opportunity to drive through the Going to the Sun road as it was still closed due to the season. We started at the West Entrance, the vista was fantastic, loved the Mountains. Did some walks, came across Deer, did not see any Bears. Toilets are located along the road with rest areas. The next day was the East Entrance. The Visitor centre was closed. This side of the Park was even better. I would highly recommend going here if nearby on vacation. It took me 20 years to get here, shame the Glaciers are nearly gone.

What a fantastic park. You can hike, ride your bike, take a tour and even stay (camp or inn) in the park. Logan pass has snow and you can only walk 1.5 miles on the Hidden Lake trail due to bears. Lots of lakes, mountains and waterfalls to see. Recommend driving on going to the Sun road from East side, no need for reservations and less people.

Beautiful and amazing area. Lots of options available for touring or hiking. Unfortunately, it was very smoky from forest fires outside the park, the mountain viewing was affected. Parking at most stops is very limited. It may be best to take the park shuttles but be prepared for waits. We drove the Going to the Sun Road twice and still missed a few spots because of no parking available. Be aware of the restricted access pass system when planning.

Amazing place. We home based outside of whitefish and drove the west side first, hiked unbelievable trails like avalanche lake and Hi Line trail, but couldn’t get on Going To The Sun Road from the west, so we drove around Glacier, Rt. 89 to Chief Mountain highway to Waterton, Ca. What a great road trip!!! Drove back took and used the east entrance to drive GTTSR. What a beautiful place.

Glacier NP is a breathtaking park. I highly recommend the Grinnell Glacier trail (it is THE BEST). Our family of four adults also enjoyed Avalanche Lake trail, Hidden Lake Trail, and Highline trail--all highlights of GNP. Grinnell Glacier Trail (park at Many Glacier Hotel) is THE premier hike. If you can only do one hike, do Grinnell Glacier. Vehicle pass registration Advice for Going To The Sun Road: To obtain a vehicle pass for Going to the Sun Road and for Many Glacier area, I suggest logging into recreation.gov at 7:01 pm. Do not login in earlier than 7pm because you will most likely need to "refresh" the registration page and encounter a delay. So, if you login in at recreation.gov at 7:01 and submit your request for a vehicle pass for the following day, your chances of successfully obtaining a pass are very high. I got a pass everyday I requested one (usually by 7:05 --7:09 pm the night before) and was told there were 550 -- 1,000 passes remaining. I was granted a pass 3 times and 4th day I did not need one because we got on Going To The Sun Road before 6:00 am. We visited GNP August 22 -- 27, 2024. Also, it is SO worth the 2 hour 45 minute trip from Whitefish to Many Glacier to hike the Grinnell Glacier (from Many Glacier parking lot). But don't forget your vehicle registration pass for Many Glacier area in addition to GTTS Road registration pass, unless you enter GTTS Rd before 6am, then you only need the Many Glacier area pass.

Spent eight days camping at St. Mary’s campground in the park. Hiked all the most popular trails in the park wit numerous wildlife sightings. Two grizzly moms with cubs, bull and cow moose, deer and mountain goats. Tips. Get up at 5, eat breakfast at the trailheads you plan on hiking by 6 if you want a parking spot and cess congestion.
