Glacier National Park - Getting Around (U.S. National Park Service)

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.
