Going-to-the-Sun Road Tours in Montana

Few drives in the world rival the sheer drama of Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road. Winding 50 miles through the heart of the park, this iconic route cuts across the Continental Divide and climbs into the alpine zone, delivering panoramic views, thundering waterfalls, and a true sense of awe around every curve. Whether you want to experience it from the comfort of a 14 passenger van in a group, on bike, or with your own private guide, Going-to-the-Sun Road tours offer unforgettable ways to explore this legendary drive.

For those who want a relaxed and scenic ride, we offer both half-day scenic driving tours (from West Glacier as well as East Glacier) and full-day from East Glacier departing from the east side. These are led by knowledgeable local guides and include multiple stops for photos, short walks, and historical insight. The full-day version gives you time to reach Logan Pass and beyond, while the half-day is a great intro to the eastern section of the road, including spots like St. Mary Lake and Wild Goose Island.

Looking to pair the views with some trail time? Several hiking tours combine scenic drives along Going-to-the-Sun Road with famous hikes like Avalanche Lake or the Highline Trail are some of the most beloved treks in the park that will allow you to see much of the west side of GTTS Road as well. These tours are ideal for active visitors who want a full day of adventure without worrying about parking, planning, or park access. The GTTS Road + Hidden Lake is an awesome option available July-September and allows for a short 3-mile hike at Logan Pass. 

Private GTTS Road tours are also available for those who prefer a more personalized experience, offering flexible pacing, custom stops, and in-depth local knowledge. And yes—you can absolutely drive the road on your own if you’ve secured the necessary vehicle reservation (required during peak season).
