We saw the videos and the photos of all the great views. We should have stopped with that. Instead we paid $150.00 for the all day tour via the famous Red Buses. That day the ceiling dropped to 2,000 feet. So we could see nothing above 2,000 feet. It rained. We could not lower the tops of the busses. Then... more

The scenary is excellent with Logan Pass being the best. Wildflowers and mountain goats everywhere. They are doing a lot of construction of course, so be aware that you may have to wait a bit on the west side. Make sure you do this road somehow: by driving, taking the shuttle or Red Jammers. Major suggestion: start as early as... more

Gorgeous park, a must see. Too bad they charge $25 for one day. Gouging the public, no integrity here. Visitors Centre at the top of the pass is nice and a nice alpine meadow hike up the boardwalk to see mountain goats and blooming flowers. Don't wear high heels or flip-flops...but folks never seem to learn. For the adventurous continue... more

We decided to do a trip out west from Minnesota and included Glacier National Park and the going to the sun road. After research I found out that if I drove it from east to west I would be mostly on the mountain side of the road. That suits me perfectly as I don't like driving on the edge of... more

Going to the Sun Highway was amazing. 9 of my friends and I traveled the Highway on our Motorcycles and we had to stop at least 20 times to take pictures. There is so much to see and the wildlife is everywhere. This trip was so wonderful that we have decided to make it a yearly ride. more

Wow!

I have had the priviledge of visiting to Glacier National Park 3 times. The beauty of Going-to-the-sun road which winds through the Park is just beyond words! There are absolutely no bad pictures to take, anywhere! I was fortunate enough to see 3 black bears and 3 grizzlies. That was so humbling. There is just something about this park that... more

Driving on the Going To the Sun Highway was spectacular. It is always fun going up a snowy mountain in the summer to. There was also very nice lake scenery. I highly recommend a visit here. more

We also took the jammer bus and had a similar experience. We took the 8 hr trip from West Glacier to the top of Logan Pass for lunch at Rising Sun (which had a terrific cafe) and then back the same way, which wasn't boring because we could see a different view of the wonders. You have to wait till... more

One of the most scenic drives in America I have ever driven, the Going to the Sun Road will impress even the most difficult to please traveler. An amazing journey, be sure to take plenty of video tape and film. Waterfalls, wildlife, forests and alpine tundra awaits, be sure you take your time. Another piece of advice would be to... more
