With glacier-capped mountains, brilliant aquamarine lakes, stunning alpine scenery, and some of the most exciting hiking trails in the country, it’s no wonder that Glacier National Park is called the “Crown of the Continent.”

If you want to see waterfalls, wildlife, and mountain slopes covered in a blanket of wildflowers, put Glacier National Park on your list. This is the type of national park that just begs you to get out of the car and go exploring. Take a boat ride across Lake McDonald, paddle a kayak on Swiftcurrent Lake, or take your pick from epic hiking trails scattered throughout the park.

Here are the best things to do in Glacier National Park. Enjoy!

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR 2024: If you will be visiting the park between May 24 and September 8, you will need a timed entry ticket to visit Glacier National Park. Learn more here.

About Glacier National Park

Glacier National Park is located in northern Montana, on the border with Canada. Just across the border sits Waterton Lakes National Park. Together, these two parks form Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, the world’s first international peace park.

Glacier officially became a national park in 1910. In 2023, Glacier National Park was the 11th most visited park, making this one of the most popular national parks to visit in the United States.

There are several regions of Glacier National Park. Going-to-the-Sun Road cuts across the center of the park and this is the most popular and most crowded section of the park. Just to the north is Many Glacier, a wildlife rich, gorgeous area with some of the park’s best hikes. Two Medicine and the North Fork are more remote areas. If you want to leave the crowds behind and journey into the backcountry, visit Goat Haunt.

The park remains open all year, however, Going-to-the-Sun Road, the main thoroughfare through the park, is only open during the summer months (typically from late June/early July through mid-October).

Glacier National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Going-to-the-Sun Road: Important Things to Know

Vehicle Reservation

In 2024, there are three areas of the park where you will need a vehicle reservation. These areas include Going-to-the-Sun Road, Many Glacier, and North Fork.

Dates that You Will Need a Vehicle Reservation:

  • Going-to-the-Sun Road (West Entrance): May 24 to September 8, 6 am to 3 pm
  • North Fork: May 24 to September 8, 6 am to 3 pm
  • Many Glacier: July 1 to September 8, 6 am to 3 pm

You will be able to enter Going-to-the-Sun Road from the East Entrance and Two Medicine without a reservation.

Vehicle reservations have a processing fee of $2 and are valid for one day. A portion are released 120 days in advance starting January 25, 2024 at 8 am MST and the remainder are released at 7 pm MDT the day before the effective date. These reservations are limited so make yours in advance!

The vehicle reservation is an additional fee. You also have to pay the park entry fee. If you have an America the Beautiful Pass, you still need a vehicle reservation.

Make your vehicle reservation on Recreation.gov.

There are checkpoints on each of these roads where you will show your reservation permit. You cannot purchase them at the entrance station…you must reserve the permit in advance.

You do not need a vehicle reservation if you are staying in lodging inside of the park (this includes campsites) or if you will be taking a commercial tour.

For a full list of exemptions, visit the National Park Service website.

Glacier National Park is one of eight US National Parks that require an advance reservation. For the full list, read our guide to the US National Parks that Require an Advance Reservation.

Opening and Closing Dates

Going-to-the-Sun Road is only open in the summer months…the remainder of the year it is snow covered.

Usually, the road is open by mid to late-June but this varies from year to year. In 2023, Going-to-the-Sun Road opened June 13, the earliest opening since 2005. In 2022, Going-to-the-Sun Road opened on July 13, which is unusually late. In 2021, it opened June 25 and in 2020, the opening date was July 13, but the delay was due to COVID, not snow. In years prior, it was open by the end of June (2019: June 22; 2018: June 22; 2017: June 28; 2016: June 16; 2015: June 19).

Going-to-the-Sun Road closes by late September or early October. Here are the closing dates for the past few years: 2023: October 15; 2022: October 16; 2021: October 13; 2020: October 9; 2019: September 25; 2018: September 29; 2017: September 3 but this early closure was due to a wildfire.

If you want to drive the full length of Going-to-the-Sun Road, plan your visit between early to mid-July and the end of September.

Vehicle Regulations

Due to the narrow, winding nature of Going-to-the-Sun Road, there are regulations for vehicle length and width.

Vehicles (and vehicle combinations) longer than 21 feet or wider than 8 feet (mirrors included) are prohibited between Avalanche Creek and Rising Sun.

Vehicles over 10 feet high could have difficulty driving west from Logan Pass to the Loop because of rock overhangs.

Best Things to Do in Glacier National Park

1. Going-to-the-Sun Road

Going-to-the-Sun Road is not only the most scenic drive in Glacier National Park, it’s also one of the most beautiful drives in the United States. For 50 miles, this road twists and turns through the mountains and over the Continental Divide. It tops out at Logan Pass, where you can park, stretch your legs, enjoy the view, and even take your pick from several hiking trails that start here.

To drive the entire length of Going-to-the-Sun Road, it takes approximately two hours, depending on traffic and how frequently you stop for photos. And the first time you drive this road, it’s jaw-dropping.

Expect a lot of cars on this road and frequent traffic jams. There are numerous turn-outs where you can park, get out of your car, and safely enjoy the view.

In my opinion, the stretch of road between The Loop and Logan Pass is the best, but it’s also quite nice from Logan Pass to St. Mary Visitor Center.

Logan Pass Glacier National Park

PRO TRAVEL TIP: There are regulations to the type of vehicle allowed on Going-to-the-Sun Road. Vehicles longer than 21 feet or taller than 10 feet are not permitted on the road. The road is very narrow with rock overhangs, so larger vehicles are too big for these tight spots. Therefore, if you are in an RV or pulling a trailer, you most likely will not be able to drive Going-to-the-Sun Road. You can still get the experience, just take the park shuttle or a Red Bus Tour.

When is Going-to-the-Sun Road open? Typically, this road is open from the end of June/early July through mid-October. Opening and closing dates are dependent on snowfall. Get updates on the official national park website.

2. Logan Pass

At 6,646 feet (2025 meters), Logan Pass is the highest point on Going-to-the-Sun Road and part of the Continental Divide. This is the highest point in Glacier National Park that can be reached by car.

From here, enjoy sweeping views across Glacier National Park. Jagged mountains, fields of wildflowers, and the chance to see bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and other wildlife are the highlights.

Logan Pass Glacier National Park

Two popular hiking trails start at Logan Pass: Hidden Lake and the Highline Trail.

Parking at Logan Pass: Logan Pass is an extremely popular place to visit in Glacier National Park, not only for the views but also for the hikes. There is a large car park but it fills up fast!! We have heard reports that the parking lots are filling as early as 6 am. Visitors without timed entry reservations are entering the park before 6 am, which is before the first timed entry time slot. Because of this, parking lots are filling much earlier than “typical” years. So, even if you have an early timed entry slot, you might want to enter the park early to make sure you get a parking spot.

3. Go Hiking in Glacier National Park

There is no better way to experience the beauty and majesty of Glacier National Park than from a hiking trail. And there are many to choose from.

Whether you are looking for a short, easy hike out to an alpine lake or an epic trail into the backcountry, you have a lot to choose from.

Here is a list of some of the best trails in Glacier, starting with short, easy hikes and ending with longer, full day (and very worthwhile!!) hikes. All distances are round-trip.

Trail of the Cedars: 1 mile, flat, easy. This boardwalk and gravel trail winds its way through a thick forest of cedar trees. The highlight is the view of Avalanche Gorge. This is a loop trail and you can walk it in either direction.

Trail of the Cedars Glacier National Park

Avalanche Gorge Glacier

Avalanche Gorge | Best Things to do in Glacier National Park

Avalanche Lake: 4.5 miles, 700 feet elevation gain, moderate. This trail starts at Trail of the Cedars and continues along Avalanche Creek until you get to Avalanche Lake. It’s a nice hike with views of a lovely lake. The lake makes a nice picnic spot. This is a popular trail so try to start your hike early (by 7:30 am).

Avalanche Lake Glacier National Park

Avalanche Lake | Best Things to do in Glacier National Park

Hidden Lake Overlook: 2.8 miles, 460 feet elevation gain, easy to moderate. This is one of the most popular hikes in Glacier National Park. To get to the overlook, it’s an uphill hike on boardwalks and a dirt trail. Not only do you get to see Hidden Lake, but there’s a good chance that you will spot mountain goats and maybe even bighorn sheep.

St. Mary Falls: 1.7 miles, 260 feet elevation gain, easy. From the small car park on Going-to-the-Sun Road, it’s a mostly downhill walk to the waterfall. This area was hit by a wildfire in the past, so there is very limited shade on the trail, and in the summer, it can feel surprisingly warm. You can continue to Virginia Falls, adding on another 1.6 miles to this hike.

Highline Trail: 11.6 miles, 800 feet elevation gain, 3000 feet elevation loss, moderate. This point-to-point hike is one of the best in the park. Start at Logan Pass and then it’s an overall downhill walk to the Loop. You’ll walk on a trail that clings to the cliffs above Going-to-the-Sun Road for amazing views of the park. This is our favorite hike in Glacier.

Apikuni Falls: 2 miles, 700 feet elevation gain, moderate. This is a short, popular hike to a waterfall that is located in the Many Glacier area of the park.

Cracker Lake: 12.6 miles, 1400 feet elevation gain, strenuous. Cracker Lake is a brilliantly colored aquamarine lake in the Many Glacier area.

Grinnell Glacier: 10.6 miles, 1600 feet elevation gain, strenuous. This hike has it all: stunning alpine scenery, waterfalls, emerald green lakes, a glacier, and a great chance to spot wildlife. We saw moose, mountain goats, and bear on this hike. Located in Many Glacier, you can shave off 3.4 miles by taking the boat across Swiftcurrent and Josephine Lakes.

Grinnell Glacier

Grinnell Glacier | Best Things to do in Glacier National Park

Iceberg Lake: 9.6 miles, 1200 feet elevation gain, strenuous. We have not hiked this, yet, but have been told by many people that this is their favorite hike in Glacier National Park. It’s a stunning hike to a beautiful lake. For 2.7 miles, you will share the trail to Ptarmigan Tunnel and get to see Ptarmigan Falls.

Ptarmigan Tunnel: 10.6 miles, 2300 feet elevation gain, strenuous. This is another hike that gets rave reviews. It’s less trafficked than other trails in the area, so if you like the idea of hiking without the crowds, this is a good one to consider.

4. Many Glacier

This is one of the most beautiful areas of Glacier National Park. Yes, it even beats Going-to-the-Sun Road. With massive, snow-covered mountains, lakes, waterfalls, and of course, glaciers, this is a hiker’s paradise.

Swiftcurrent Lake Glacier National Park

Best things to do in Glacier National Park

View from the hiking trail to Grinnell Glacier | Best Things to do in Glacier National Park

Grinnell Glacier and Iceberg Lake are the most popular hikes in the area, but there are literally ten more hikes to choose from. Most of them are longer hikes, coming in at around 10 miles, but they are worth every step you take on the trail.

If you are not a big hiker, you can still get a lot out of your visit here. Stay in the historic Many Glacier Hotel and ride the boat across Swiftcurrent and Josephine Lakes. Just driving the roads here we spotted black bear and other wildlife.

PRO TRAVEL TIP: If you plan to visit Many Glacier on a day trip from another area of the park, try to get here at 8 am. Parking is limited at the trailheads and lodges and on one of the days we were here, park staff were turning visitors away.

5. Visit the Two Medicine Area

Two Medicine is the area of the park that was first visited, before Going-to-the-Sun Road was constructed in 1932. This is a great area of the park for day hikes and to venture out into the backcountry. It doesn’t see the same number of visitors as Going-to-the-Sun Road or Many Glacier, so this area feels off-the-beaten-path.

For a list of hikes and things to do, click here.

6. Lake McDonald Valley

Lake McDonald is the largest lake in the park. Sitting on the edge of the lake is the historic Lake McDonald Lodge, built in 1914.

From the lake, take your pick from numerous hikes or go horseback riding. You can also take a boat tour of the lake.

Lake McDonald Glacier National Park

7. Red Bus Tour

Ride a vintage 1930’s bus for a tour of the park. This is considered to be the oldest touring fleet of buses anywhere in the world.

There are numerous tour options to choose from. Take a scenic ride along Going-to-the-Sun Road, visit Many Glacier, or Two Medicine. Tours can last up to 9.5 hours, depending on which one you choose, with prices up to roughly $50 to $80 per person. Book your tickets in advance because they do sell out.

Tours run from the end of June through mid-September.

Click here for full details.

8. See Wild Goose Island

Wild Goose Island is a tiny island located on Saint Mary Lake and it is one of Glacier’s most photographed spots.

You might also recognize Wild Goose Island from the opening scene of the movie “The Shining.” In fact, the first few minutes of the movie were filmed at Glacier National Park, with video clips of Wild Goose Island, Saint Mary Lake, and Going-to-the-Sun Road.

Wild Goose Island

To get this view, park in the small parking lot on Going-to-the-Sun road, labeled “Wild Goose Island Lookout” on Google Maps.

9. Take a Boat Tour on One of Glacier’s Lakes

The first things that might come to mind when you think of Glacier National Park are probably mountains and glaciers. But this is also a land of lakes.

If you want to take a break from scenic drives and hiking trails, consider taking a boat tour or renting kayaks for a different experience.

Josephine Lake

Josephine Lake | Best Things to do in Glacier National Park

In Many Glacier, you can sit back and take a boat tour of Swiftcurrent or Josephine Lakes. You can also rent kayaks at the Many Glacier Hotel and kayak on Swiftcurrent Lake.

Lake McDonald, Two Medicine Lake, and Saint Mary Lake are also popular places to go on a guided boat tour or to rent kayaks.

Click here to learn more.

If you are looking for a little more adventure, you can also go white water rafting in Glacier National Park. Here are a few options:

 

 

10. Waterton Lakes National Park

Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes National Park form the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.

Waterton Lakes is located in Canada. It feels like a quieter, mellower version of Glacier National Park.

Prince of Wales Hotel

Waterton Lake

One of the best things to do is to take a guided boat tour on Waterton Lake. You will cross the border back into the United States, see remote Goat Haunt, and look for wildlife.

Hiking and biking are popular things to do here, as well as some experiences you wouldn’t expect to have in a national park. Have high tea at the Prince of Wales Hotel, go shopping at the boutique stores in the town of Waterton, or take your pick from one of many great restaurants in town.

You can day trip here from Glacier National Park or spend a night or two. If you have the time in your itinerary, this is a very nice place to take a break from the summer crowds that flock to Glacier.

Glacier National Park Fees and Hours of Operation

Glacier National Park is open 365 days of the year. However, numerous roads in the park are closed due to snow, from September through June. For full details, visit the national park service website. 

The entrance fee is $35 and is valid for 7 days.

Get updates on road conditions and trail closures, as you plan your trip and just before your visit, on the National Park Service website.

How to Plan Your Time

Ideally, plan on spending a minimum of two days at Glacier National Park. Even more time is better and you could easily spend a week here and never run out of things to do.

With one day, drive Going-to-the-Sun Road and visit the sights along the drive: Logan Pass, Hidden Lake, Lake McDonald, the Trail of Cedars, Avalanche Lake, and Saint Mary Lake. If you are a big hiker, get to Logan Pass by 7:30 am and hike the Highline Trail.

With two days, follow our one-day recommendation. Spend day two in Many Glacier and hike one of the trails.

With three or more days, add more time to Many Glacier, visit Two Medicine, or visit Waterton Lakes National Park.

What We Did

So far, we have visited Glacier National Park twice. The first time, Tim and I just visited the park in one day, driving Going-to-the-Sun Road and hiking Avalanche Lake and Hidden Lake. It was nice, but we had no idea what we were missing by skipping Many Glacier.

On our more recent visit (August 2019), Kara and I spent four and a half days in Glacier. We spent a day and a half in Many Glacier, one day in Waterton, and two days along Going-to-the-Sun Road (one of these days we hiked the Highline Trail). It was not enough time. There are still so many hikes to come back and do. Two Medicine and the North Fork areas are still on our to-do list.

USA Road Trips

Where to Stay

We booked our trip last minute (in June for a trip in August). Since we visited so many different areas, and because I booked our hotels so late, we stayed at five different hotels in five nights. In Many Glacier, I could not find a hotel or lodge that had availability for two or more consecutive nights. So, I recommend booking your hotels as far in advance as possible.

Many Glacier Hotel. This is a grand, historic hotel. It looks amazing on the outside and has an enormous, rustic lobby with stunning views of Swiftcurrent Lake. Kara and I stayed in a standard room. It was a very basic room with a double bed and private bathroom. There is no air conditioning, but it is cool at night so that was not an issue. However, it’s an old hotel. The floors creak and the walls are thin, so if you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs.

Important Note: There is no Wi-Fi in the rooms and the Wi-Fi is very limited in the lobby. There is no cellular service in Many Glacier. I actually made a collect call to Tim (when was the last time I did that?!) simply because I couldn’t even send a text message. Kara and I were traveling on our own, on a “girls trip,” and since we drove up from Yellowstone, I wanted to let Tim know that we got in safely.

Many Glacier Hotel

Many Glacier Hotel | Best Things to do in Glacier National Park

Swiftcurrent Motor Inn. I liked it here. Again, it’s very basic, with no Wi-Fi, cellular service or air conditioning. But we stayed in a building tucked away in the trees and it was very nice. Our room was enormous, the beds were comfy, and it felt more peaceful than staying at the Many Glacier Hotel.

Northland Lodge. This is where we stayed at Waterton Lakes. We had one bedroom with a private bathroom in a house. Again, it’s nothing fancy, but it was clean, quiet, and they had Wi-Fi!! That was important because now that we were in Canada, I could not use the cellular service without paying an additional fee. The Prince of Wales Hotel is another option in Waterton, but they do not offer Wi-Fi, so that’s why we chose the Northland Lodge.

Great Northern Resort. This place is wonderful. It is located in West Glacier, so it is a great place to stay to be near Lake McDonald and Avalanche Lake. We had an enormous room with two beds, air conditioning, and great Wi-Fi. I would stay here again.

Best Western Rocky Mountain Lodge, Whitefish. This is where we stayed our last night at Glacier. The following day we had a flight home so I wanted to stay near the airport. Unless you are having a hard time finding accommodations inside the park, I wouldn’t recommend staying in Whitefish. It’s a 40-minute drive just to get to the west entrance and can take an hour and a half or longer to get to Logan Pass. However, after your visit, Whitefish is a great place to stay. There’s a lot to do here, with outdoor activities and family-friendly experiences.

    Two Medicine is Beautiful and the area is great for families and it is also less crowded. I did a hike to multiple waterfalls (Asper Falls) around Two Medicine Lake and took a one-way boat ride back toward the ranger station for ~$10.

    I didn’t look to see if this question had been asked but we are trying to find lodging Aug 31 for 3 nights over by Many Glacier or St Mary. We definitely want to hike Grinnell Glacier but we are a group of 6 and 2 or 3 will not do that long hike. They would like to be close to Two Medicine(East Glacier Park) to have other options besides hiking. I thought it was too far to drive back and forth to the hiking trails we want to do. Can you recommend an area to stay? All the lodges say sold out.
    We reserved a place I thought was near Babb but it actually on Duck Lake which is beautiful but appears to be a little further from Many Glacier than we may like plus not much to do for the non hikers. i have 48 hours to cancel.

      The Duck Lake location could be a good option. It can be really hard to find places to stay in east Glacier since there aren’t many properties, especially for larger groups. If you are all sharing the same vehicle, it will be really hard to get you to the Grinnell Glacier trailhead and the other group to Two Medicine in the same morning (that’s all about a 2 hour drive one way) so hopefully you have multiple vehicles. But if you do have multiple vehicles, Duck Lake is somewhat in between these two areas so that will work well for your group. You will just have to wake up early to do the drive to get to the trailhead in Many Glacier. Cheers, Julie

    Hi – we are heading to Glacier next month! We’ve got 3 days there – and are hoping to hike both Grinell Glacier & Highline Trail. I am curious if both trails are still worth doing compared to shorter alternative options in those respective areas – if we only planned do hike 50-75% of them? Would your trail recommendation change for hikers not planning to do the full 10+ miles on each? Thank you!

      Hello Adam. I think it is worth doing both hikes the full distance. You do get some great views from the halfway point of the Grinnell Glacier hike, but the farther you go, the better the views, plus you get to see Grinnell Glacier which is very nice. As for the Highline Trail, if you go the full distance, you always get to see something new, since this is a point to point hike. The last few miles, the descent to The Loop, is a bit monotonous, but it’s worth it for the views you get all the way up to the chalet. However, if it looks like it could be challenging to get on a shuttle from The Loop to Logan Pass, then just hike the first few miles of the Highline Trail. Cheers, Julie

    In 1962 I hiked from Logan Pass above the tree line to a large round bronze disk. Around the edge were mountain shapes. On the opposite side there were mountain names. You could site across the disk to the mountain named. Does this still exist?

      We hiked the Highline Trail from Logan Pass and I didn’t see it on that trail. But it could have been on a hiking trail that we did not do, but I haven’t seen the disk on our visits to Glacier NP. Cheers, Julie
