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 operates along the Going-to-the-Sun Road as far as it is currently open. In early season, sections of the road may still be closed due to snow removal and weather conditions. While the road typically opens fully by late June, this is not guaranteed. Because of this, our early-season tour will usually be shorter in duration or cover less of the Going-to-the-Sun Road. Please keep this in mind when booking during this time frame.
