Glacier National Park Guidance
On this journey we will be visiting Glacier National Park. Please note that visiting the park will not be optional. Passage through the park is necessary to cross east-to-west through the Rocky Mountains and continue with the ride beyond day 4.
- Each motorcycle will need to purchase in advance or at the gate either:
- A national parks pass (you may already have a valid pass); or
- A standard day pass ($30 per motorcycle)
- More information at: https://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/fees.htm
- The group will need to enter at the St. Mary east entrance to travel the Going-to-the-Sun Road crossing the park east to west. “St. Mary and Two Medicine entrances do not require vehicle reservations in 2024. St. Mary provides access to Going-to-the-Sun Road driving east to west. Please note that visitors who enter from the east side will not be able to return through the Apgar Check Point without a vehicle reservation between 6 am and 3 pm.” Source: https://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/vehicle-reservations.htm#Without-a-VR.
Hotel Guidance
- Each traveler needs to book their own accommodations as soon as possible directly with the hotel or using a booking site like Hotels.com.
- Where possible book the “primary option”. But if rooms run short or you want a better price, a secondary option is provided. Note that the secondary option is not always less expensive, but it did have good availability as of the date noted below.
- If neither options work for you, there may be other lodging nearby that you can book directly.
- Prices and availability were verified on 6/16/2024 and are subject to change. Price ranges included taxes & fees at the time of review.
