Most visitors who come to Glacier National Park explore the park with their car or RV. Size restrictions on vehicles may prevent vehicles from driving the historic Going-to-the Sun Road. There are alternative travel and tour options for oversized vehicles and for visitors who come to the park without a vehicle. Each option serves a different function and purpose, so explore what best fits your needs while visiting the park.
