  • Going to the Sun Road Going-To-The-Sun Road Is a Highlight Not to Be Missed During Your Glacier Visit
    RV Traveler's Roadmap to Going to the Sun Road Going-to-the-Sun Road is a highlight not to be missed during your Glacier visit. The Road spans 50 miles and crosses the Continental Divide at Logan Pass. During your traverse you will see impressive glaciers, beautiful valleys, cascading waterfalls, towering mountains and colorful wildflowers. 1 Highlights & Facts For The Ideal Experience Going to the Sun Road Glacier Park Trip Length: Roughly 50 miles Best Time To Go: Open from June to mid October What To Watch Out For: Bring sun screen and warm clothing (sweaters, rain gear) Must See Nearby Attractions: Waterton Lakes National Park (contiguous to Glacier, just north of the US-Canada border) A.K.A. Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park 2 Traveler's Notes Trail of the Cedars Due to its popularity, the Going-to-the-Sun Road can be very busy. The parking lot at Logan Pass is usually full between 9:30 and 4:00, which can cause road delays and difficulty finding parking. Not only will you beat traffic with an early start, but animals are often more active earlier in the day to avoid the midday heat. There are no services along the 33 mile stretch of road between Lake McDonald and the Rising Sun Motor Inn. Make sure to bring enough water and snacks for your days’ adventures. A picnic at Logan Pass or one of the scenic turnouts is a great way to enjoy a midday break! While the Going-to-the-Sun Road is very safe and has proper barriers, more timid drivers may want to drive the Going-to-the-Sun Road from East (St.

Sperry chalet was completed in 1913, and Granite Park chalet was completed in 1914 by the Great Northern Railway, as part of a system of seven backcountry lodging accommodations for Glacier. At that time, visitor access was primarily by horseback, and the chalets fell into disuse and neglect with the war and the shift to automobile use in the early 1930s. By 1950, of the original seven, only Granite Park and Sperry chalets remained and they were used through 1992, when they were temporarily closed because of regulatory changes that had occurred since their construction. Both chalets have substandard sewage and water systems, inadequate life-safety facilities, and suffer from a combination of high overhead and operating costs and minimal revenue-producing capability to sustain the traditional visitor service. In order to accomplish the needed improvements, substantial assistance from the private sector will be required. Four alternatives were examined for each of the two chalets and were based on the various possible solutions to the water and sewer problems, with level of use being dictated by the services available. Alternatives were broadly categorized: no wastewater generation (caretaker status), water only provided (overnight shelter with only drinking and dish-washing water available), and traditional service (alternatives 3: traditional service with composting toilets [the NPS preferred alternative), and 4: traditional service with flush toilets).
