We visited at the end of September - probably the best time to visit just before the "Going to the Sun" Road closes. We took the Red Bus tour of the GTTS Road, then drove it the next day. Highly recommend the Red Bus as you get some great commentary from the driver (thanks Matt!). We drove it ourselves the next day to make some more stops, but were unable due to all the traffic on the Road. If you decide to drive the Road, make sure you know what you're getting into. We saw an older couple driving past us, stopped on a hairpin curve, obviously frozen up...felt sorry for them but sympathize also. If you don't get onto the Road, or are willing to hike a lot, you won't get a good look at the Park.
Glacier National park was a wonderful experience. The "Sun Road" is a little tough if you do not like heights and narrow roads. We had wonderful hikes and saw wildlife. There is a shuttle service which does have some long waits. Avalanche Lake hike was a favorite.
What an awesome park! Gorgeous views, great trails-simply amazing!! Our first day was the first day without Going to the Sun Rd reservations, and the park was quite busy. Regardless, we had a wonderful time!
This is a must see National Park. The beauty is incredible. Going to the Sun Road is a must. Will be crowded, but worth it. Logan Pass at the stop is breathtaking.
No words can explain the purity of Glacier National Park.Going to the Sun Road is a must. I was expecting more anxiety after reading several reviews about the steep drop offs.It wasn't that bad.Just go slow.
