You should have mentioned to the viewers to make sure their radiators are full along with their engine oil.
Long Long Honeymoon in the past few days o
That road is no joke! My husband and I use to live in Kalispell, so we went up there all the time. One of the most beautiful places ever, but scary at the same time. I use to work at the hospital up there , so I got some stories. I would say Glacier National Park is one place you have to see with your own eyes. Pictures and hearing stories just does not do any justice.
I lived in Kalispell to, and spent a great deal of time hiking in Glacier Park growing up. I have driven, Going-to-the-Sun Road many many times and it still makes me nervous to this day. :-) unfortunately I haven't been able to make my way back to the Flathead Valley or to Glacier Park since the massive fire at Lake McDonald Lodge. I hope it's not too bad...
@@dadsdone3524 It is..
Just went up a couple months ago, it was quite scary, wow.
That's not even the scariest road in glacier National Park tho
I am going to be staying in Kalispell in a few months when I attend the Under The Big Sky festival. I am going to hit Glacier after. Should be a great trip.
The last time I drove from the west to the east, we met a line of vintage Rolls Royce cars. Must have been a couple dozen. With the wife on the passengers side over looking the beautiful views, she came un-glued when I was looking more at the cars than the road. Thanks for bringing the memories back. Great video.
Thanks for sharing a great story!
We availed ourselves of the historic red buses that the Park owns and just rode the road, if you know what I mean. It's a spectacular view, but not for those afraid of heights. Wonderful experience.
Been on this road a number of time over the last 40 years. Always spectacular.
I've been to this park several times; it's one of my favorites. You've provided excellent advice, Sean. Thanks!
Great video for those of us contemplating driving this scenic road. And the tips are priceless. Passing this along to my travel mates! Thx very much for posting!
Glacier National Park is an incredibly beautiful place! I'd love to go back there again!
This is so helpful. My husband has been a bit hesitant to drive the Going-To-The-Sun Road himself because of drop-off. Glad to know about free shuttle. Thanks.
Going to the Sun Road is one of my favorite places in the world. I talked about it to my now wife about for many years and we went last year and she and her sisters loved it. We only got as far as Mt. St. Mary as the road was closed but the sisters and I climbed to the peak observation post through the snow. Its wonderful and every American should experience GTTSR and Rushmore!
Wonderful, practical video. I feel semi-prepared now.
Sean, this is one of the great motorcycling roads in america, as great as it is in the car/ truck, it's amazing on a bike! Oh and your right on with your tips Take your time it's worth it.
I'm going to drive it tomorrow for the first time; I cant wait. Thanks for the tips; enjoyed the video.
I had just brought a youth group to Glacier to go rafting on a return trip from Idaho. We planned to do the GTTSR, but wound up behind schedule, and with all the traffic on a Friday afternoon, decided against it. After watching this video, I'm actually glad I didn't attempt this road with 2 twelve passenger vans full of teenagers!
My group did, there was barely enough room to fit by but the thing is you can't turn around. It's more sketchy on the lake Mcdonald side than st. Mary's because it's a lot more curvy.
Awesome quality video, thanks. Adding this park to the bucket list.
My 20 meg download speed buffers on 4K and 1440 but plays 1080 just fine. What I could see in 4K was wonderful. That road has been cloudy, rainy, and socked in at the top everytime I've driven it. We took the Red Bus tour last time and that was a lot of fun with our NATCOA Truck Camper group. You get a driver who narrates along the drive and makes several stops on the way with time at the top. Well worth it . Thanks for this video. Very refreshing. It will go well with my Porter.
I drove I-24 eastbound from Mounteagle, TN to Chattanooga on a 6% downhill grade and THANKED GOD that I drove GTTSR first!🙏
Been there, unprepared for the wild ride! Great, unforgettable experience!
Wow! That 4K really pops! Nice work Sean.
Really great tips. Thanks!
I have only been on this road on a motorcycle. Your tips are excellent. The very best time to go is in the early am and that is the best time to see bear. I was working the Chief Mountain Port of Entry one summer and the long time locals say it has had significant accumulation of snow in every month of the summer.
Bob Bayne me too, only on a Harley!
We rode Going To The Sun Road during a bicycle tour in 2001, the best vacation ever. It was in July and we had sleet at Logans Pass, That made for an interesting descent :)
This is definitely a bucket list item now.
Great job on video and your tips! Wife and I rode our Goldwing from east to west on the sun road. She did not want to go west to east. The drop is, wow, a drop! Logan's pass was special and we saw long horn sheep standing on rocks as we went around the tight turns. Like you stated, be prepared for all kinds of weather. We rode with full electric suits in July. Trip of a life time and having traveled all over the USA and Canada, Glacier is a must see. Nothing rivals the scenery!
I've done it twice. Once from both directions. Both times on my motorcycle. Beautiful.
David Giles I’m scared to death of heights and went up there on the back of a Harley, you’ll be happy to know they guy driving survived....haha
YIKES! That view was amazing, but crazy.
Thanks for sharing! I will have the pleasure of seeing all of this !!! Just in 4 days!!
Great tips and wonderfully narrated! Thank you!
The landscape on the other side of Going to the Sun Road from the Lake McDonald side is so starkly opposite of the beauty you see getting to the top. And, once on the other side, you'll be rewarded with a fantastic lodge once at the bottom! The road is only passable in warm months. :) Love all your posts, Loloho, thank you.
Great video and tips. Thanks for the enlightenment.
I'm going here and to Yellowstone this Sept. I've never been to Montana or Wyoming so I'm so looking forward to this new adventure. I usually go to CA and visit their parks, esp. Death Valley, so this will be abit of a welcome change. I've drove up Pike's Peak in CO a couple times and that's pretty scary the first time. Also, been on the high roads in Denali Park and those were some "cliff hangers", too, lol.
I took a cab from Kalispell to pick up the Red Bus , and she was waiting for me, when Returned after 8 hours. I love Montana. It was super safe and relaxed, and no one killing you.
That drive looks amazing. I just discovered this park yesterday. I'm seriously considering visiting next September.
Definitely one of the prettiest drives in America.
Took the Sun road on my Yamaha 750 back in the 70's and it was awesome:)
awesome video. it looks so much different from the last time I ventured there in 1977.
love your video. thank you for the tips. it is now on our bucket list.
+Roger Higham Thanks! See you guys at Logan Pass! :D
Going up tomorrow!! Cramming for finals with all these awesome vids!
I drove up and down this road. It crosses the Continental divide at the top. Did it in a 1984 Chevy Caprice wagon. That car was a beast.
Wow. Beautiful video of a spectacular place. Good tips too. I was up there a few years back, now That I have an Airstream, I want to make a return visit.
Thank you
I will put that in my BUCKET list.
My next bucket list is Yellow Stone, Grand Teton and Glacier.
It is long drive from So. Cal. But I love to drive, I even drive to Alaska and back 3 years ago.
Thank you for up loading.
This is the perfect info for me. I'll be riding my Harley Road Glide threw there in August for the first time. I'll be sure to stop and do the hike you mentioned. And also do a Vlog about it.. thank you!!!
Spent a month there one summer and we love Glacier and plan to go back.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. It's similar to Grossglockner Alpine Road in Austria
Bikers can use the Going to the Sun Road before 11 AM and after 4 pm in summer! We started early and made it to Logan Pass well before 11 Am! It was a beautiful ride up and less frightening than driving as a passenger. Thank you auto and motorcycle drivers for the courtesy of moving over around cyclists!
BEAUTIFUL!!!
We have visited many, of the U.S. National Parks and Glacier was the most beautiful. Utah is amazing also, they have five National Parks
I was blessed to be stationed at Malmstrom AFB for three years so my wife and I experienced and camped the park in all season. I first traveled the Going to the Sun Road when I was 12 with my parents. I was hooked! Glacier Park is my favorite park and I've been to most of them. Drive the road. It's not a scary as you think. Just be slow and steady.
+Bill Sprague Thanks, excellent advice, and I agree - Glacier is a spectacular park!
thanks for these tips!
It looks like it may have some great echo effects. Great for playing the flute.
Thats a beautiful place thanks for shareing
Thanx for the 4K!!
My brother and I rode this on our motorcycles. Simply stunning, beautiful and scary as hell.
Going to the Sun Road is my favorite and has
been for 60 years. My dad worked as a Jammer (the name for drivers of the big open top Ford buses that still traverse the pass!"
+Scott Lockwood Thanks, very cool that you have some family history there! I'd like to ride in one of those open top buses sometime just to experience it. One of our favorite places too....
great video, first time I have heard of this one
Thank you for these videos. We just returned from our 1st Yellowstone and Grand Teton trip and of course fell in love. Love all the tips and info. on your videos...we are now planning to visit Glacier next Sept. so the research begins. This is on my list, but I need some advice on if we should start our trip on the East side or West side. I will be making reservations soon, as I see lodging books very far in advance. Any lodging recommendations you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again from Arizona!
Just drove it last week . Unfortunately for us the weather was bad, from the loop to Logan"s pass. So much fog you couldn't see but 50 feet feet in front of the truck or oncoming cars. Will have to go back again sometime. Your video was our inspiration for going. So we will watch it again and again until we can go back. As you mentioned Logan's Pass parking lot Very busy, even after Memorial Day. Thanks for the videos
+Radioman 1957 Thanks for your kind words... Sorry the weather turned on you! That has happened to us before too.
At the apex we met thee most beautiful fawn who walked right up to us, was magical
Nice video and tips :)
Just got back, so far one of my favorite places...
many thanks
Did this once in the Park Bus. I can say I could never do it again. I’ve lost the edge so to speak. Most scary road I’ve ever been on. If you went over the edge you would never stop for at least a mile. I have driven the west entrance to Yosemite once. Almost as bad. If you do not like heights don’t torture yourself. Lol. When we got to the top all I could think of was that we had to go back down. If heights do not bothering you and no guard rails then go and enjoy.
what a trip !!!...like you say' going on the bucket list !!!

I have biked but not driven this road and it was informative to see the tips you gave to drivers as I do plan on returning in the next couple of weeks to both bike and drive. Just as you recommend that everyone should take this road I particularly recommend it on a bicycle now with the advent of the bikes virtually anyone can ride this . I will probably regret this advice when I’m caught in a cluster of novice riders one day. Just remember when you hear someone coming behind you saying “on your left” it means you stay to your right-you don’t go to your left !😂😂😂😂 Yes I have had that frequently happen.
beautiful vid thanx
Thanks for the heads up! WE BRING BOOKS AND READ as we just did in Sequoia National park, while waiting for the pilot car, or light to turn green; this was a 30 minute delay
I salute anyone who chooses to bring books! We need more people bringing and reading books in this country. 👍
Great tips!
Thanks for the video! I'm riding my Indian out there in a couple weeks...can't wait!
Have a great trip! Your timing in the season should be just about perfect.
Very helpful. Heading that way in Sept
As I make this comment it is 2019. Back in 1999, I camped near Hungry Horse, MT. I was warned about bears and I took all the precautions. The Going To The Sun Highway offers breathtaking scenery. I rode my bike for a short distance near the Logan Pass visitor center(I rode "over the pass"). The Red buses were not running that summer, but they have since been rebuilt and are being rebuilt once again. The rides look like fun, but they are not cheap. I was not aware of a free shuttle, but my truck worked just fine. Go there. You'll enjoy it.
I go last weeks of May or beginning of June.. bike myself up there :)
It was an enjoyable drive. Yes, you need to pay attention, but millions of people do it. The tour bus is nice too.
I'll be driving that road in early September this year. Woohoo...
Great video...
Thanks for sharing
good info. thanks
I would suggest to take the tour bus that goes from south to north it’s approximately eight hours but what a grand trip it is!
Thank you. Im going last week of July 2018
So how was the trip is it everytging an adventurer would love?
I went in this road once. Went on a hike back to our car. 13 miles was very hard and I was 12. I’m 13 now and can’t believe I made it😂😂😂
This road isnt nothing not scary just beautiful.
Yea...my husband is gonna kill me when we drive this road this summer! Looks beautiful!
My family use to drive on this road every summer.
I love this park. I take the Red Bus.
Wish I had been told about the shuttle when I tried to do the drive with a 34 footer and was turned back. Never mind the rest of the park was Superb.....
+James Allan Sorry to hear that, but now you have a perfect excuse to return to the park!
We drove this road so many times-always a thrill. But yes, we’d see some motor homes and trailers turned back-they had no idea how sharp some of the turns and switchbacks are.
My favorite road in America! We did it on motorcycles and had an avalanche bury the road 15' deep...in August! We just had to wait until they got it shoveled off the side, no short cuts.
allenslansky wow hope no one got buried or pushed off the road !
GTTS is a great training ground for drivers on handling hairpin turns and narrow roads. (And even on using lower gear to slow descent on the way down from Logan Pass.)
Christopher U.S. Smith I sure hope people don’t go their to train !!!! Yikes
love your videos. we visited glacier national park last September 2016 and we can't wait to go back. we're planning on going to Alaska in the middle of may 2017 and your videos have really helped us. We bought "the milepost" from AAA. Do any of your videos talk about going on the ferry?
+John Stump thanks, we have one more Alaska vid to post and we do talk about the ferry! Stay tuned, we'll post it soon probably after we get our truck fixed). 👍
Would be interested in understanding options for some of the non-peak travel times (late Sep, early Oct). Giving up the idea of taking this in my Class B, but it’s a trip I would love todo again.
Love that drivr
Awesome👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for your caution for bicycles. I rode the going to the sun road on my bicycle July 2016. It was totally awesome.
If your in that big of a hurry that waiting a few minutes to safely pass a cyclists is a problem perhaps you are there for the wrong reason.
Been up there on a motorcycle. Beautiful drive!
definitely a great biking road!
Yikes, I barely survived Mt. Washington as a passenger! I drove myself up to “Castle in the Clouds” and was terrified doing that! 🙄 😂 I would probably die of a Heart Attack on this Road!
AmTrack Train goes thru there also. Wonderful Trip!!!
Not through “ Going to the sun road.”
Been there. It’s probably best to make it a one way road only.
good video
One tip you left out - pull over and let people pass if you are super slow and holding up a line of faster cars. Lots of time in the worst months it's almost pointless - but for many locals that drive the road regularly for work or recreation - get out of the way every now and then!
Hi , i really like your video. I have a few questions if you dont mind:
1) do we need to reseve the shuttle bus for going to the sun road?
2)Does the bus stop along the road for u at some nice view points or are there bus stops that you can hop in hop off?
3) do you have the link for the bus schedule?
I plan to go in June 2021 so your info are very helpful. Truly appreciate !
Drove part of this road in a school bus I converted into a hotor home in the 80s.
I hate heights so thank you! Now I don't have to go in person, I got to go through video! Beautiful though:)
