The Trailhead
Current conditions that may change your trip
Logan Pass shuttle and timed parking end for the season
Logan Pass is back to first-come parking with no shuttle and no water. You can stay longer than three hours, but only if you win one of 235 spaces and arrive carrying every drop you need.
See what changed →Rimrocks rockfall claims a life
Park officials have confirmed the death to local reporters, though no park news release has posted yet. Rimrocks has killed before — 1962, 1996, 2019 — and the stretch just past Logan Pass isn't scenery you can route around.

A better trip starts with a better read of the place.
Glacier is not one scenic road with a park attached. It is a set of valleys, entrances, and seasonal systems linked by a road whose alpine section opens and closes on its own timetable. This guide helps you choose a coherent route instead of treating the park like one compact loop.
