Going-to-the-Sun

West Glacier - This is the gateway town located just outside the western entrance of Going-to-the-Sun. If you need to grab essentials like coffee, gas, or bear spray, West Glacier is the last full-service town you’ll encounter before embarking on your 2-hour drive through Going-to-the-Sun.

Apgar - At the Apgar Visitor Center, visitors can explore exhibits, plan their trips, use the restroom, and refill water bottles. It’s also the boarding point for the Going-to-the-Sun Shuttle. Apgar village offers a cafe, gift shop, supply store, and more.

Lake McDonald - Here, you will enjoy your first views of Lake McDonald, the largest lake in Glacier National Park.

Apgar Beach on Lake McDonald - This brief stop allows visitors to stroll along the pebbly shores of McDonald Lake, admiring its renowned rainbow rocks.

Sprague Creek Campground - This shaded, lakeside campground offers numerous picnic tables for your enjoyment.

Lake McDonald Lodge - Originally named the Lewis Glacier Hotel, it was constructed in 1914 by prospector John Lewis. This excellent example of parkitecture is built from local stone and cedar.

McDonald Falls - McDonald Falls is one of two short yet beautiful rushing waterfalls along the McDonald Creek Trail. The blue-green water and white foam are especially stunning on clear, sunny days.

Sacred Dancing Cascade - The second of the two cascading McDonald Creek falls. Visitors can stop at each roadside pullover or take the McDonald’s Creek Trail to see both. If you turn around at McDonald’s fall, the total time is only one hour, covering about a mile.

Trail of the Cedars - The Trail of the Cedars is famous for its Western Red Cedar and Hemlock rainforest. The trail is an easy, flat, half-mile loop, though many hikers choose to continue to Avalanche Lake.

Avalanche Lake - To reach this famous lake, hikers start at the Trail of the Cedars Trailhead. The 4.5-mile (or just over 7 kilometers) Avalanche Lake Trail passes through more rainforest, multiple waterfalls, and leads to a crystal-clear glacial lake reflecting Avalanche Peak.

Red Rock Point - These rocks are composed of compacted clay and oxidized iron, giving them their rusty red color. This roadside stop features the clear-blue waters of McDonald Creek cascading over the red Grinnell rocks.

Mount Cannon - This is the overlook for the snow-dusted Mount Cannon. This triple-peaked mountain was formerly known as Mount Goat until 1901 when two adventurous newlyweds became the first to summit it.

Garden Wall - This overlook provides a first view of the McDonald Valley before ascending to the higher altitudes of the Garden Wall.

The Loop Trailhead - The Loop is the steepest hairpin turn on the entire road and a major highlight for hikers. It serves as the trailhead for some of the park’s most famous trails, including The Loop, Granite Park, and the Highline.

Bird Woman Falls - Fed by snowmelt from Mount Oberlin and Mount Cannon, the falls are especially spectacular in late spring and early summer. From the overlook, Bird Woman Falls, at 960 feet, is visible across the valley.

Paradise Meadow - Paradise Meadow overlook is a quick roadside stop that allows visitors to see across the rolling hills and valleys of Glacier. In spring, a vibrant blanket of wildflowers covers the hillside.

Oberlin Bend - Oberlin Bend offers a ten-minute boardwalk trail with great views of Logan Pass, the McDonald Valley, and sometimes, the local mascots, Glacier’s mountain goats.

Logan Pass - At an impressive 6,600 feet above sea level, Logan Pass is the highest elevation on the road. There’s plenty to see and do here, including several famous trails and the Logan Pass Visitor Center.

Highline Trail - One of the most popular trails on the Going-to-the-Sun Road, the Highline Trail in Glacier National Park is a spectacular 11.8-mile path that follows the Continental Divide, offering breathtaking views of alpine meadows, rugged mountain peaks, and diverse wildlife.

Lunch Creek - Hidden in a hairpin turn, Lunch Creek Pullover is where water cascades down Pollock Mountain. Take a short walk to the observation deck to enjoy the sights and sounds.

Piegan Pass - Piegan Pass is a popular hike, but at over nine miles long, it’s definitely a full-day adventure. The trail follows along Siyeh Creek, through a thick spruce-fir forest, and up to the barren, rocky pass between Siyeh and the Cataract Mountains.

Jackson Glacier Overlook - Jackson Glacier Overlook is where you can see Jackson, the park’s 7th largest remaining glacier, and learn a bit about glaciers and their future in the park.

Saint Mary Falls - For those up for a short hike, the St. Mary Falls Trail is highly recommended. It’s only 1.5 miles to the falls and back, with less than 200 feet of elevation change. To double your falls experience, take the trail down to Virginia Falls, for a total of three miles round trip.

Siyeh Pass - This quick hike is great on its own or combined with St. Mary’s Falls. It’s just over a mile to Baring Falls and back.

Sun Point Nature Trail - The picture-perfect promontory of Sun Point is a great place to look out over St. Mary Lake. You may also want to embark on the Sun Point Nature Trail, a two-mile (or three-kilometer) hike that offers stunning views of Saint Mary Lake, Baring Falls, and Red Eagle Mountain.

Wild Goose Island Lookout - Wild Goose Island lookout is a fantastic spot to practice photography skills. From left to right, you’ll see the following mountains: Red Eagle, Mahtotopa, Little Chief, Dusty Star, and Citadel.

The Narrows - This overlook provides a view of The Narrows and The Golden Staircase, the narrowest channel of the lake and the retaining wall built to support the banks.

Rising Sun Boat Dock - This is a wonderful spot to dip your toes in the waters of St. Mary Lake, watch boaters, or perhaps even set sail yourself.

Rising Sun Picnic Area - This lakeside picnic area is one of the final stops before exiting the eastern Going-to-the-Sun gate.

Saint Mary Visitor Center - At the St. Mary Visitor Center, visitors can browse the bookstore and exhibits, and watch a film on the history of the park. Restrooms and water bottle refill stations are also available.

Saint Mary Historic Ranger Station - This “secret stop” is often missed by visitors. Located about 500 feet down Beaver Pond Trail, this historic ranger station was built in 1913 and housed one of the earliest park rangers.

Two Medicine

Goat Lick Overlook - Visit Glacier’s National Park’s official mascots, the Mountain Goats, at a natural salt-lick!

Silver Staircase Falls - The Silver Staircase Waterfall is a stunning cascade of shimmering waters, particularly impressive during spring runoff. The best part? You can enjoy it right from the road!

Blackfeet Nation Sculpture (Southwest) - This statue, one of a set of four, marks the entrance to the Blackfoot Nation. Created from barbed wire, rusty car parts, and stones from a mission school, this statue is one of four marking the entrances to the Blackfoot Nation.

Kiowa - The main attraction at Kiowa is the Kyiyo Bakery and Mercantile, with Kyiyo meaning bear in the Blackfoot language. It’s known for its famous fried chicken and is the last place to eat until after leaving the park. If you’re hungry, feel free to stop by.

Looking Glass Hill - This scenic roadway offers several overlooks where you can catch early glimpses of Two Medicine and the Lewis Mountain Range.

East Glacier Park - The town of East Glacier is a last stop before entering Two Medicine. The town features an Amtrak Station, the East Glacier Lodge, and a few amenities, hotels, and restaurants.

Running Eagle Falls Nature Trail - The Running Eagle Falls trail is just over half a mile long and leads to the stunning Running Eagle Falls. The double waterfall tumbles over 30 feet into a clear pool below. This is the very same falls where Running Eagle underwent her life-changing vision quest. The trail also includes interpretive signs about local plant life and their traditional uses by local tribes.

Continental Divide Trail - The Continental Divide Trail is too long for a day hike, as it stretches around 3,100 miles. However, at the trailhead, you can enjoy an easy, 1.5-mile trail to the beautiful Appistoki Waterfall.

North Shore Trailhead - There are two excellent hiking trails here on the North Shore. One of the most popular trails in Two Medicine is the Trail to the Upper Two Medicine Lake, and the other trail allows you to visit Glacier’s famous Triple Divide peak.

Two Medicine Ranger Station - The South Shore Ranger Station is a great first stop for information on backcountry hikes, boat rentals, or to chat with a ranger.

Two Medicine Picnic Area - Park in any of the five parking areas on this short loop to have a picnic, relax, and enjoy walking along Two Medicine’s rocky shoreline.

South Shore Trailhead - At Two Medicine’s South Shore, enjoy a relaxing boat ride, hike to scenic spots like Paradise Point or Aster Falls, or shop at the general store. Paradise Point offers a 1.4-mile round trip to stunning lake views, while Aster Falls features a 3.8-mile hike to a waterfall and panoramic overlook.

Many Glacier

Lake Sherburne Dam - The construction of Sherburne Dam was led by the U.S. Reclamation Service in 1914, just four years after the park was established. This created Sherburne Lake, a popular stop for thirsty animals and adventurous visitors.

Apikuni Falls - The 1.6-mile out-and-back trail starts across from the south shore of Lake Sherburne and winds through peaceful forests with great views of the falls. You’ll cross a footbridge over Apikuni Creek where the cascade plunges in multiple stepped tiers for an impressive 100-foot drop.

Many Glacier Hotel - Opened in 1915, Many Glacier Hotel’s old-world architecture was designed to attract wealthy Americans with a taste for European grandeur to Montana’s wild and rugged peaks. The soaring 4-story central lobby features giant cedar columns and an enormous stone fireplace. Be sure to step inside to check it out!

Swiftcurrent Lake - Swiftcurrent Lake offers amazing trails for all levels, including the 1-mile Swiftcurrent Nature Trail, perfect for families. For a challenge, try the Grinnell Glacier Trail; take the tour boat to cut it to 7 miles round trip. Longer hikes like the Cracker Lake and Continental Divide Trails start nearby, with boat reservations available for added convenience.

Grinnell Glacier - Grinnell Glacier is one of the park’s most popular hikes, and for good reason. It starts out low, circling along the shimmering lake, but after a couple of miles, up and up you go. From the high hills, you’ll look over at Josephine Lake, Angel Wing, and Mount Gould. Continuing the trek upward reveals your first look at Grinnell Glacier–one of the most photographed locations in the park. From the trailhead, it’s a little over 10 miles, or 16 kilometers, there and back.

Nell’s - If you’ve worked up an appetite, you might want to stop in for a bite at Nell’s Restaurant. Just beside the hotel lobby, it offers burgers, sandwiches, and other tasty, quick-lunch fare. They also provide boxed lunches to go. Also by the hotel is a camp store. If you want some groceries, camping supplies, or souvenirs, that’s your stop.

Swiftcurrent Trailhead - Swiftcurrent Trailhead offers a scenic 2.5-mile hike to Red Rock Falls, passing moose-friendly Redrock Lake. Continue to Bullhead Lake or tackle the 7.6-mile Swiftcurrent Pass to Granite Park Chalet.

Swiftcurrent Pass Hike - This quick roadside overlook offers some great views of Swiftcurrent Lake, Many Glacier Lodge, and maybe, some local mountain goats.

North Fork

Forest and Fire Nature Trail - The Forest and Fire Nature Trail is a 1.5-mile round-trip interpretive walk that showcases the park’s dynamic relationship with wildfire through a series of recovering burn zones, rated as easy with minimal elevation gain. The trail meanders through areas impacted by the 2003 Robert Fire, allowing visitors to observe forest regeneration stages including young lodgepole pines, pioneer species like fireweed, and patches of surviving old-growth forest.

The Polebridge Mercantile - The historic Polebridge Mercantile, established in 1914, stands as a rustic landmark in Glacier National Park’s remote North Fork region, famous for its freshly baked huckleberry bearclaws and other pastries made daily in the century-old building’s original ovens.

Bowman Lake - Bowman Lake offers diverse hiking options in the North Fork. Akokala Lake is a 5.8-mile hike to a glacial cirque, while the 7.1-mile Bowman Lake Head Trail features serene lake views. For shorter hikes, try the 1.5-mile Covey Meadow or the 1.2-mile Hidden Meadow trails. For a challenge, Numa Lookout’s 5.6-mile hike rewards with stunning vistas.
