BONUS: GOING-TO-THE-SUN ROAD
If you're looking for a once-in-a-lifetime ride, look no further than Going-to-the-
Sun Road, which winds through the heart of Glacier National Park. While the road
is open to bikers all year long, pedaling up Logan Pass during the summer months
can leave you a little gripped. To keep bikers and vehicle traffic safe during those
busy months, the Park Service imposes traffic restrictions from June 15th through
Labor Day:
No bikes are allowed from Apgar Campground to Sprague Creek Campground -
both directions, between the hours of 11 am and 4 pm.
Eastbound (uphill) bike traffic is prohibited from Logan Creek to Logan Pass
between 11 am and 4 pm.
For a more laid-back experience, save your bike tour of the park for spring or
fall. Every spring, before Going-to-the-Sun Road opens to cars, the road opens
exclusively to bikers and hikers. While snowplow crews are working their way up to
Logan Pass during this time, the plowed sections behind them are open to bikers.
ACCORDING TO THE PARK SERVICE:
Teams will mark the closure of the hiker-biker section of the road with a sign.
Visitors will not be permitted beyond this point while the crews are plowing. After
work hours or on days the crews are not plowing feel free to go as far as you like.
If you plan to ride Going-to-the-Sun, get an early start. It takes about forty-five
minutes to get from Sprague Creek to Logan Creek and three hours or more to
climb from Logan Creek up to the top of Logan Pass.
