Terrifying Ledges and Epic Views: Glacier National Park Going-to-the-Sun Road 4K Drive

In this video we drive both directions on Glacier National Park's renowned Going to the Sun Road, a spectacular, winding alpine drive that climbs quickly from rolling foothills into jagged peaks and glacial-carved valleys. We begin heading westbound, and as we leave St. Mary. Montana the road threads through dense subalpine forest accented with early fall colors and opens onto sweeping views of St. Mary Lake, then ascends narrow switchbacks with dramatic drop-offs revealing distant hanging glaciers and sheer cliffs. After the alpine climb and dramatic high-country vistas, Going to the Sun Road begins a gentler descent where pavement winds down toward McDonald Creek and Lake McDonald. The road hugs the creek’s corridor, dropping into a quieter, forested valley before ending in the town of West Glacier, Montana. In West Glacier we turn around and make the complete drive on Going to the Sun eastbound back to St. Mary, Montana through the park, enjoying a different perspective of this incredible road.
