Glacier National Park travel expert Steve Salis takes us on tour of its iconic and beautiful Going to the Sun Road. He shows you where the best Photo ops are and when to be there. The 2 hour drive each way means you’ll need to stretch your legs, will go on short trails to waterfalls and amazing viewpoints.

Excellent video, amazing what fantastic views you can see on Going-To-The-Sun Road!
I am going there this fall, and at the risk of being trite, OMG, I CANNOT WAIT! (First time.)
Perfect template for our trip in September this year! We plan to ride the GTSR exactly the way you describe. Thank you so much, keep it up! Greetings from Germany!
sigh… Thanks for the video tour! I actually learned a few things and a few trails I should try despite having been on it more times than I can remember, and you've definitely sold me on going in autumn. Usually I go around Labour Day, but I think a second trip towards the end of Sept. or beginning of Oct. should be in order 🙂
I've been there with my parents in September 2005 and it was magical.
And I very well remember my Dad and me spotting a bear in quite some distance from one of those scenic spots along the road. We were fascinated, the bear disappeared, we waited and waited – and suddenly it reappeared some 20 meters (sorry, metric brain here) in front of us.
Do you know those cartoons, were someone in a precarious situation tiptoes backwards on his toenails?
That would have been us on our way back to the rental.
My Dad is now 80 – and we still talk about that experience…..
Glacier's great and I'm glad we went. but it is SO HARD to get anywhere to see what you came to see. Grand Teton, by contrast, is on full display at all times from all vantage points. and, for whatever reason for us last year, shows off its wildlife much more readily.
