HIKING IN GLACIER NATIONAL PARK

Going-to-the-Sun Road Reservation System in Place

Our partners at the National Park Service have informed us that visitors to Glacier National Park in 2025 and 2026 can expect to use a vehicle reservation system to access select roads within Glacier National Park.

  • West side Going-to-the-Sun Road and the North Fork area of the park from June 13 through September 28, 2025, from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.
  • Details have not yet been finalized for 2026.

Existing guests for overnight lodging at Lake McDonald or a historic Red Bus Tour pickup at Lake McDonald will be able to access the west side of Going-to-the-Sun road necessary to reach their lodge or Red Bus Tour pickup over the days of their stays or rides, including the day of check-in and the day of departure as listed on the lodging reservation confirmation. Guests will be required to present their tour or lodging reservation confirmations at the park entrance station or checkpoint and should plan on having a printed copy as internet access is limited in the park. If a guest wishes to travel on the road during a different day or to access a road unassociated to a tour or lodging reservation, they will need to purchase a road access reservation.

Overnight lodging or tour pickups from the Village Inn at Apgar do not grant west side access. Vehicle reservations are not required to access Village Inn at Apgar or to reach the pickup point for Red Bus Tours departing from the Apgar Visitor Center.

Vehicle reservations are not required to access the Going-to-the-Sun road from the east side.

Guests without overnight or tour reservations will not be allowed to park in the Many Glacier Hotel area and will be required to purchase a hiker shuttle ticket. Please visit the NPS website for more information about the shuttle and access to the Many Glacier area.

For visitors to the park who do not have lodging or Red Bus Tour reservations, you will need to purchase a road access reservation via Recreation.gov and each of the specified areas of the park will require a separate reservation. For a full explanation of the reservation system and for more information, please consult the NPS website for the most current information. This requirement for Many Glacier Hotel is related to a construction project that impacts 2025 stays only and does not apply for stays in 2026.
