Scenic route
Going-to-the-Sun Road
An engineering marvel carved across the spine of Glacier National Park — past a turquoise lake, over the Continental Divide, and through hanging valleys still patched with snow in July.
Why drive it
Glacier National Park, summit to summit.
Fifty miles of the most dramatic alpine driving in the Lower 48. It’s seasonal (roughly late June–October), size-limited, and often needs a vehicle reservation — plan ahead.
