Glacier National Park Fall Operation Adjustments for 2023

As the autumn season approaches, operations in the park will start winding down. On September 10, the park’s 2023 vehicle reservation pilot will end.

Construction will continue along Going-to-the-Sun Road from the south end of Lake McDonald near Apgar Campground to Upper McDonald Creek Road through fall, causing delays in both directions. Visitors should check the park’s website for the latest construction updates. Although closed for construction last winter, Going-to-the-Sun Road is expected to remain open to Lake McDonald Lodge for winter recreation.

Going-to-the-Sun Road is scheduled to remain open to Logan Pass until Sunday, October 15 at midnight, unless winter weather forces an earlier closure. There will be no access to potable water at Logan Pass starting September 11. Logan Pass Visitor Center will continue daily visitor information services through Sunday, September 24.

Park shuttles will remain in operation until September 17 with reduced services. Beginning September 5, shuttle service will run from 9 am to 5 pm daily with all stops in service. Wait times may be longer as there are fewer shuttles on the road. Visitors planning to use the shuttle should check the Shuttle page for additional details.

After Going-to-the-Sun Road closes to the pass for the season, hiker/biker access will be permitted on the road closure while the GNP Road Crew is not working. A daily road crew closure will be in place while crews are working.
