Spooky, but there were amazing views. We traveled east to west, and in hindsight, I'm glad we did because we were next to the mountain most of the time. Also, the grade is not terribly steep as in some mountain roads. Worth the drive but can be kind of a steering wheel gripper!

Made the track last year and it was awesome. We went the third week of June thankfully the pass opened just 4 days before we got there. Be cautious about visiting prior to July or you may find the pass closed. The views were phenomenal!

No visit to Glacier is complete without taking one of Glacier's famous Reds over Logan Pass on the Going to the Sun Road. In case you don't know, a Red is a beautiful, red, antique convertible bus - about the size of a limo. They were built by White Motor Company and put into service in the mid-thirties. Around 2000,...

The Going-to-the-Sun Road opened on Tuesday and my husband really wanted to go back and take it. I wasn't too sure, since I felt like maybe I had seen it. Holy Kittens of fire, was I wrong. That is where all the good stuff is. Today, we went back and saw the most spectacular views ever. Waterfalls at every turn,... More

An amazing drive and view! We did this twice in our short trip to Glacier. The road is narrow, so I was glad we were in a VW Bug...the drop off is quite impressive. I recommend this drive to people all the time!

Can't put in words. its really one of the excellent scenic drive. another Road to Hana or California #1 highway. All these were not comparable each other. every thing has its own beauty. Nice water falls in the road, you should go until the medicine lake and come back. We actually visited on July 2011.

When you get as far north as Glacier National Park, you simply must traverse the Going to the Sun Highway or you are missing the Gem of the Rockies. If you are scared of the drive and being near the road's edge, you can still experience the road by taking one of the famous Red Busses and letting them do... More

I would recommend this outing on one for your first days at Glacier to get a feel for the layout and to enjoy the ride with a bit of history

If you are near Glacier National Park...you gotta go to the Going to the Sun Road...it is so pretty...allow the entire day to go through it....so you don't feel rushed!...Bring a picnic basket so you don't have to worry about trying to find a place to eat once you get on the road!...then you can pull over anywhere to eat...

This drive lives up to everything you can read about it. There was some road construction along the way so an early start is recommended. The scenery is fabulous!
