Tips For Visiting Glacier National Park

(Note: Due to rock overhangs, vehicles and vehicle combinations longer than 21 feet or wider than 8 feet (including mirrors) are not permitted on the section of Going-to-the-Sun Road between Avalanche Campground and the Rising sun picnic area.)

To help alleviate parking and traffic issues during the busy season, a free shuttle system (included with park admission) runs along Going-to-the-Sun Road between the Apgar and St. Mary visitor centers; check the park website for the current schedule and route.

ADMISSION

As of 2024, the Glacier National Park entrance fees are $35 per private vehicle, $30 per motorcyclist or $20 per person arriving on foot or bicycle. The entry fee is good for 7 days from the date of purchase. Rates are slightly discounted during winter months (November-April).

PETS

You can bring your pet to picnic areas, front-country campgrounds and parking areas in Glacier National Park, as well as in the car with you while you drive on park roads. Keep in mind that pets must be leashed, crated or otherwise physically restrained at all times. Leashed dogs are also permitted on the bike path between Apgar and West Glacier when the path is free of snow, but pets are not allowed on trails, in buildings, in backcountry areas or along lake shores in remote areas of the park.

ADDRESS

Glacier National Park Headquarters is located at 64 Grinnell Drive, West Glacier, MT 59936; phone (406) 888-7800.
