Going-to-the-Sun Road isn't just a drive—it's an engineering miracle. Blasted and carved into sheer cliff faces in the 1930s, this 50-mile route crosses the Continental Divide through some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in North America. Turquoise lakes, thousand-foot waterfalls, and alpine meadows await around every switchback.
This GPS-triggered audio tour covers Going-to-the-Sun Road from both entrances, plus additional park roads. You'll hear the stories of the Blackfeet Nation, the workers who built this impossible road, and why these mountains are called the Crown of the Continent.

Going-to-the-Sun Road
Going-to-the-Sun Road is a stunning 50-mile engineering marvel that traverses the heart of Glacier National Park in Montana, crossing the Continental Divide at Logan Pass at 6,646 feet. Completed in 1933 and designated a National Historic Landmark, this iconic route winds past glacial lakes, cascading waterfalls, and rugged peaks, offering some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in North America.

Logan Pass
Logan Pass sits at 6,646 feet atop the Continental Divide in Glacier National Park, marking the highest point reachable by vehicle along the famous Going-to-the-Sun Road. The area is renowned for its sprawling alpine meadows bursting with summer wildflowers, abundant wildlife like mountain goats and bighorn sheep, and access to two of the park's most beloved hikes: the Hidden Lake Overlook and the Highline Trail.

Lake McDonald
Lake McDonald is the largest lake in Glacier National Park, stretching nearly 10 miles long and reaching depths of 472 feet in a glacially-carved basin on the park's west side. Famous for its colorful pebbled shoreline and crystal-clear waters that reflect the surrounding peaks, the lake is a popular spot for boating, fishing, and photography, with the historic Lake McDonald Lodge serving as a charming basecamp for visitors.

Weeping Wall
The Weeping Wall is a striking roadside feature along Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, where snowmelt and spring water cascade directly down a sheer rock face onto the pavement below. Most dramatic in early summer when runoff is at its peak, this natural shower is a memorable highlight of the drive—often soaking unsuspecting motorists who pass too close with their windows down.
