Going-to-the-Sun Road Driving & Biking Guide

Description

Millions travel along Going-to-the-Sun Road every year, and for good reason— there’s so much to see and explore along this scenic 50 mile stretch of road! The road winds its way from the lush forests of the west side of Glacier National Park to Logan Pass on the Continental Divide. Entering Glacier’s iconic high-country, sections of the road are literally hewn from the cliffs of the mountain— this stunning feat of engineering allows for impressive vantages of the surrounding mountain peaks and the deep glacier-carved valley below. From the Pass, the road works its way down to the plains of the east side of the Park. Along the way are forests, waterfalls, stunning vistas, and alpine meadows.

Whether you’re in a car, on a bus, or riding a bike, taking along this map is like bringing along an expert tour guide— you’ll find the right spots to park (plus tips on how to get a coveted parking spot at Logan Pass), have the perfect lighting for landscape photos, find short hikes to stretch your legs, and enjoy an immersive trip that will stay with you forever. This easy to read, hand-drawn map coupled with detailed descriptions let you know where to stop and what to look for along the way.

A dedicated biking section includes: regulations, tips, and safety information for biking the GTTS Road in the springtime before the road fully opens to vehicular travel.

This map guide is lightweight, waterproof, and easy to use! Distances between stops help you know how far it is to the next destination or point of interest.
