What is the name of the scenic road through Glacier National Park in Montana?

The scenic road through Glacier National Park in Montana is the Going-to-the-Sun Road.

The approximately 50-mile road crosses the park from West Glacier to St. Mary and passes over the Continental Divide at Logan Pass, whose elevation is 6,646 feet. It is the only road that traverses the heart of Glacier National Park, giving travelers access to alpine scenery, valleys, waterfalls, and mountain overlooks that were once reached mainly by trail or horseback.

Construction began in 1921 and the road was completed in 1932, with its formal dedication held on July 15, 1933. The project was designed for the growing automobile tourism of the early National Park Service era. Its route along the Garden Wall reduced switchbacks and helped limit the road's visual impact, although it increased engineering costs.

The name comes from Going-to-the-Sun Mountain, visible from the road near Logan Pass. The road is narrow and winding, and heavy winter snow can delay seasonal opening. Visitors also commonly confuse it with U.S. Route 2, which runs along the park's southern boundary rather than through its central mountain corridor.
