This is definitely not for the fainthearted as any wrong move and you may well be driving off a cliff. That being said, if you are a seasoned driver and you love to drive, this is a must! Forget the tour bus and get behind the wheel.I recommend driving in from the west and before sunrise. There are no words that can describe the majesty of the mist covered mountains and melting glaciers before sunrise. Just go see for yourself.
A beautiful drive like no other in the US. It is an engineering marvel and a glorious experience! Take your time, stop along the way to really take in the scenery and bring a good camera!
Because of this one road, we almost didn't go to GNP. I am terrified of heights and the reviews and photos on here had me shaking in my boots. After weeks of consideration, I summoned up the courage and started planning our August trip. I am SO glad I did. The drive from west to east was terrifying because I was in the passengers seat and inches away from the edge. I almost had a panic attack within the first 10 minutes. However, once we got out of the car (there are TONS of places to stop) I was fine. The drive back was super easy because I knew what to expect. I almost didn't want it to end! We left around 7 or 8AM and there was very little traffic.
This put my head and heart in a spin because I cannot handle heights. If heights don't bother you, the views are spectacular and the area is as beautiful as you have heard!
OMG I've driven all over the world and this has to be of the best scenic drives I've ever done-at least once you have to say you drove 'to the sun' in Montana, you won't regret putting it on your list.
The greatest disappointment for Going to the Sun road in Montana is the short time period it is open for through traffic. I've missed out on a couple of return trips now due to the the amount of snow they receive and the time it takes to get the road open.Otherwise, the area is simply beautiful. It is an area that must be explored multiple times to be completely enjoyed. Do the drive from different directions and at different times of the day.Stop, explore the surroundings and take in some of the hikes if you can.
There are no words fit to describe the majesty of this place. Breathtaking is only a beginning and stunning barely a synonym. If ever opportunity arises to visit, don't squander a moment of it!
你不可能错过的景观大道。只要一进公园,横穿整个公园都是这个向阳大道。除了几个著名景点,大道上还是有不少漂亮的景色。例如我们在一个河边玩了很久,那里河形成了一个水潭,水蓝的不可思议。旁边有快大石头,起码7-8米高,很多人爬上去跳到水潭里。真佩服,水很冰啊,即使7月底的夏天,水都是冰冷冰冷的。看他们玩的非常high
Unspoiled and wonderful. Some parts of this road are not for the timid! You have to do this at least once.
Wow what a trip, we did it in early Nov and had glorious weather and visibility. the road was open to Logan Pass, so missed the last 15 miles (oh well an excuse to come back)Every bend was a whole new view, never disappointing. I found the drive ok, but it was also not busy so that meant we could set our own pace.Everyone should do this trip, it's simply amazing.
