From Lake McDonald, the Going to the Sun Road takes the visitor through some spectacular scenery to the Logan Pass Visitor Center and then down to St. Mary Lake.

The construction of the Going-to-the-Sun Road was a huge undertaking. Even today, visitors to the park marvel at how such a road could have been built. The final section of the Going-to-the-Sun Road, over Logan Pass, was completed in 1932 after 11 years of work.

The road is considered an engineering feat and is a National Historic Landmark. It is one of the most scenic roads in North America. The construction of the road forever changed the way visitors would experience Glacier National Park. Future visitors would drive over sections of the park that previously had taken days of horseback riding to see.

Large motorhomes and trailers are not allowed beyond Avalanche Creek Campground on the upper narrow portion of the road.

The Going To The Sun Road climbs to 6646 foot high Logan Pass, where the Logan Pass Visitor Center and the Hidden Lake Nature Trail are major visitor attractions.
