About

Spend a half-day enjoying the eastern portion of Going to the Sun Road up to the top of Logan Pass, the highest point along the Continental Divide accessible by vehicle. Ride along in air-conditioned comfort and listen to our local Blackfeet guides give an interpretation on culture, family, and history.

Itinerary

Our tour begins with our one and only pick up at the St. Mary Visitor Center, which is just inside the eastern entrance to Going to the Sun Road and Glacier National Park. From there, we travel along the eastern side of Going to the Sun Road which parallels the upper St. Mary lake before gaining elevation into the high country. Along the way, the bus will make several 10-15 minute stops for breathtaking views, and spectacular photo opportunities before arriving at Logan Pass. If time permits, the tour may cross over the Divide on to the west side and travel a little further before turning around, and returning to the St. Mary Visitor Center to conclude.

EARLY SEASON (June 1st - end of June dates are variable)

• Our Half-Day East side tour in the early season covers the Going to the Sun Road as far as it is OPEN. Typically, it fully opens at the end of June, but this is not guaranteed due to weather conditions. Feel free to visit our homepage where you can click the ”Road Status” link, and it will bring you to the NPS website with a live look at how far the road is open.
• Because of this, our early season tour will typically be a little shorter in time. Please keep this in mind when booking within this time frame.
