Going-to-the-Sun Road is a mountain road across Glacier National Park in the Rocky Mountains of Montana. It clings to steep slopes above deep valleys, passing waterfalls, lakes and sharp peaks, with wildflowers blooming along it in summer. It is the only road through the park, crossing the Continental Divide at Logan Pass, 2,026 m high, its highest point. It runs about 80 km between the west and east entrances. Work began in 1921 and finished in 1932, and it was formally dedicated in July 1933. It was the first road listed as both a National Historic Landmark and a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark. You drive slowly and stop at the pullouts, then climb to the Logan Pass visitor centre where trails begin and mountain goats may be seen. In summer 2026 no vehicle reservation is needed for the road. Logan Pass is about 30 km in a straight line northeast of West Glacier. The upper road is usually open only from late June or July to October.
