going-to-the-sun road

你不可能错过的景观大道。只要一进公园，横穿整个公园都是这个向阳大道。除了几个著名景点，大道上还是有不少漂亮的景色。例如我们在一个河边玩了很久，那里河形成了一个水潭，水蓝的不可思议。旁边有快大石头，起码7-8米高，很多人爬上去跳到水潭里。真佩服，水很冰啊，即使7月底的夏天，水都是冰冷冰冷的。看他们玩的非常high

There are no words fit to describe the majesty of this place. Breathtaking is only a beginning and stunning barely a synonym. If ever opportunity arises to visit, don't squander a moment of it!

This put my head and heart in a spin because I cannot handle heights. If heights don't bother you, the views are spectacular and the area is as beautiful as you have heard!

OMG I've driven all over the world and this has to be of the best scenic drives I've ever done-at least once you have to say you drove 'to the sun' in Montana, you won't regret putting it on your list.

This road starts at the bottom end of Lake McDonald near Apgar, MT and winds North up to the top at 6,650 feet (I think) which you reach after 30 or so miles and then goes over the top, which is the Continental Divide for another 20 miles or so to Swiftcurrent, MT. It is one of the pretties drives in the US.

Unspoiled and wonderful. Some parts of this road are not for the timid! You have to do this at least once.

Wow what a trip, we did it in early Nov and had glorious weather and visibility. the road was open to Logan Pass, so missed the last 15 miles (oh well an excuse to come back)Every bend was a whole new view, never disappointing. I found the drive ok, but it was also not busy so that meant we could set our own pace.Everyone should do this trip, it's simply amazing.

so much beauty all around with plenty of pull-offs to stop, shoot photos and enjoy the incredible views

A beautiful drive like no other in the US. It is an engineering marvel and a glorious experience! Take your time, stop along the way to really take in the scenery and bring a good camera!

The greatest disappointment for Going to the Sun road in Montana is the short time period it is open for through traffic. I've missed out on a couple of return trips now due to the the amount of snow they receive and the time it takes to get the road open.Otherwise, the area is simply beautiful. It is an area that must be explored multiple times to be completely enjoyed. Do the drive from different directions and at different times of the day.Stop, explore the surroundings and take in some of the hikes if you can.

A dream come true drive. It's truly amazing. Everyone one should be so lucky to drive this amazing road.

Glacier National Park is the hidden gem of the National Park Service. Since the park is largely closed for much of the year due to snow, it isn't visited as much as some parks, but the scenery here is absolutely transcendent. Going-to-the-Sun Road is one of the most beautiful - if sometimes harrowing - drives in America. Mountains, waterfalls, and sometimes mountain goats and low-lying mist make for stunning pictures. This road is the way to many of the great hikes in the park, as well.Yes, the road is narrow in places and has a shear drop. If you're concerned about driving it yourself, please take advantage of one of the classic red jammer buses.I always tell friends from other parts of the country, "Go to Yellowstone for the wildlife. Go to Glacier for the scenery." This is the drive that makes the trip worthwhile.

We drove the "Going to the sun road" travelling from Waterton Lakes in Canada down to Whitefish Montana. The scenery is spectacular and there are some fantastic hiking trails. I can't remember the name of the trail but it led up a lot of wooden stairs to a beautiful "hidden" lake and I believe the trail head was at the summit of the mountain. Anyway, it was about a 3 mile trail and it was quite steep, but the views of the hidden lake were very well worth it. If you don't want to drive this mountainous road with a lot of hairpin bends and very narrow, then you can join a driving tour to the Going to the Sun Road using the touring Company in the park. The cars they use look like a lot of fun: they seat about 20 people and are bright red and they can also lower the Roof in good weather. So you have all the fun, but don't have to worry about the driving. When we got down to lower ground it's easy driving through the park. We were lucky to see several blackbears near the side of the road. But drive carefully, there is a lot of wildlife here, and we are guests in their habitat, not the other way round.

This is definitely not for the fainthearted as any wrong move and you may well be driving off a cliff. That being said, if you are a seasoned driver and you love to drive, this is a must! Forget the tour bus and get behind the wheel.I recommend driving in from the west and before sunrise. There are no words that can describe the majesty of the mist covered mountains and melting glaciers before sunrise. Just go see for yourself.

Because of this one road, we almost didn't go to GNP. I am terrified of heights and the reviews and photos on here had me shaking in my boots. After weeks of consideration, I summoned up the courage and started planning our August trip. I am SO glad I did. The drive from west to east was terrifying because I was in the passengers seat and inches away from the edge. I almost had a panic attack within the first 10 minutes. However, once we got out of the car (there are TONS of places to stop) I was fine. The drive back was super easy because I knew what to expect. I almost didn't want it to end! We left around 7 or 8AM and there was very little traffic.
