West Glacier National Park: A 2-Day Adventure Itinerary
Six Months Out
Going-to-the-Sun Road Vehicle Registration (Glacier): For Glacier National Park, you need to register your vehicle for the Going-to-the-Sun Road. This needs to be done in advance, especially during peak seasons. Reservations open up 6 months prior to the day you arrive - you will need a reservation for every day that you are planning to enter the park! We were lucky enough to realize this and were able to get our reservation online with no issue, but this is not always the case!
One Month Out
America the Beautiful Pass: This pass grants access to over 2,000 federal recreation sites, including all National Parks. It’s a great value if you plan to visit multiple parks. You can buy these online or at your local REI store for about $80.
You can also purchase a park pass, but if you are visiting for multiple days then getting the America the Beautiful Pass will be the best value. Order this in enough time for it to arrive in the mail prior to your departure!
