Essentials for Your Visit

From May 24 to September 8, reservations are essential for accessing the west side of Going-to-the-Sun Road and North Fork between 6 am and 3 pm. Similarly, from July 1 to September 8, reservations are required for Many Glacier during the same hours. If you're planning to drive or ride through these areas during these dates, remember to have two things ready: (1) Either a vehicle reservation or a service reservation, and (2) Either the park entrance fee or a valid park pass (Annual, Senior, Military, etc.). Check out the details regarding entrance fees and passes below.

While the park remains open around the clock, visitors can enter the designated vehicle reservation areas before 6 am or after 3 pm without needing a vehicle reservation. Get more information about visiting without a reservation to make the most of your trip.
