Want to tour Glacier National Park before you arrive?
We have a great way to travel the valleys and mountains of Glacier Park before you arrive in this beautiful part of the country. Traverse along the turquoise lakes, spy native wildlife, and marvel at Mother Nature's paintbrush of wildflower-laden meadows in a stunning DVD featuring country many will never see in Glacier's backcountry.

Whet your appetite for your upcoming vacation or reminisce about your special time here in Glacier country, we promise this DVD will not disappoint! It is difficult to capture the expansive majesty of Glacier Park, and this production accomplishes the task beautifully.

A portion of the proceeds go to support The Glacier National Park Fund, a non profit organization dedicated to the preservation of Glacier Park.

Plowing the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park

Plowing the
Going-to-the-Sun Road
Glacier National Park's Scenic Wonder

As of May 8, 2008, The Going To The Sun Road in Glacier National Park is open for vehicle traffic to the McDonald Lake Lodge parking lot. It will be open to the Avalanche Campground as soon as mother nature melts the snow.

The plowing crew is almost up to Haystack Creek, and moving a little slower than usual due to heavy snowpack and a rotary not operating at 100%.
