Getting to Glacier National Park

Continue on US-2 to the town of West Glacier to access the western end of the Going-to-the-Sun Road, or go north on MT-49 at the town of East Glacier Park to the Two Medicine Entrance. Continue north to US-89 and Saint Mary for the eastern side of Going-to-the-Sun Road. Go even further north on US-89 to reach the Many Glacier Entrance.

Official Park Map

Below is the official park map provided by the National Park Service. You can view either the original PDF file or a simple JPEG image file (some of these files can be quite large). Note that while this map is useful for general navigation around the park, if you plan to do any hiking, you should really have a proper Glacier Trail Map.
