Visiting Glacier in 2026: Going-to-the-Sun Road Update

Planning a trip to Glacier National Park this year? You no longer need a vehicle reservation to experience the iconic Going-to-the-Sun Road.

The National Park Service will be discontinuing its Going-to-the-Sun Road and North Fork vehicle reservation system for the 2026 season.

What this means for our guests:

• More flexibility: You no longer need to plan months in advance to secure a vehicle reservation. Instead, you can enter the park on your schedule.
• Access anytime: Whether you’re staying with us in West Glacier or just visiting for the day, you’re free to move between the village and the park without worrying about an "entry window."
• No need to rush: With off-peak exceptions removed, the usual early-morning and late-afternoon congestion is expected to ease, allowing for a safer, more relaxed driving experience.

Please note — an entrance pass, such as a Standard, Annual or America the Beautiful Pass, is still required to enter Glacier National Park.

Parking and shuttle operation details are being confirmed. Check the Glacier National Park website for the most up-to-date information.
