Born and raised here and I tell people the same thing. If they can only pick one place to go in Montana. I usually go every summer since it's a couple of hours away.
Gorgeous video a little more detail especially mentioning when approaching Logan Pass and what direction you were driving East or West. We did it East (St Marys) to West (Lake McDonald). Yours is West to East....Logan Pass a must stop if you are lucky enough to find a parking space. "Road To The Sun" in a World by itself.. Very fortunate to do this spectacular drive..Sep 2013
Great video -- amazing photography. You've done a terrific job filming. I haven't been up on the road since I was a kid back in the 1970s. Looks like it's improved a lot. Thanks for this video. Totally appreciated!
It's a beautiful place. I fell in love with Glacier ❤ I have been to Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Teton and many others but Glacier is special. They all have so much beauty, personally Glacier is my favorite so far.
Beautiful video! We got to go several yrs ago but only as far as Lake McDonald. Was still too much snow up on Logan Pass! This was a nice way to see what we didn't get to! Thanks
Wow amazing filming job!! I love how you haven't added background music, I find that sometimes takes away from the scenery being captured. I am wondering though-- can I ask you what type of camera you used?? This quality is amazing!!!
Awesome video, though as someone who has done this drive 10+ I'd recommend going earlier in the year if you want to see more glaciers, waterfalls, snow. Best time is July/August imo. By late September/October much of the snow if melted and waterfalls are a trickle.
@@SeattleSunshine I meant it's the road from the beginning of 'The Shining' movie. One of my favorites and the main reason I desperately want to go there. Quite a trip from Poland. Of course your video shines too :)
The last time I was there, the weather was very different. It was cloudy, drizzling and grey all over. When we got to the visitor's center at the top, we couldn't see a darn thing because it was all socked in clouds. However, on the way up, I was amazed at all of the waterfalls that cascaded down the mountainsides and washed across the road. We had to drive through dozens of them. I guess climate change has come to Glacier. Still... the views were absolutely stunning. I felt like, if we ran off the road, we might burn up on reentry. LOL
Superbly captured! As if I was there myself. May I ask which route did you take when taking this- East to West or West to East? We’re going in June. I want to be on the right side of the road inorder to get the perfect shots/video. Thanks! -Aileen
I went to through West Glacier Entrance to the all the way to Saint Mary Visitor Center following going-to-the-sun road. It was magnificent. Video doesn't do the job. Way better with your own eyes. I highly recommend to go many glacier hotel next to swift current lake. Beautiful. Thanks!!
Luckily, acquired property not far from Glacier National Park, the National Bison Range, Flathead National Forest, and the Pablo Nature Preserve. It's a beautiful location to be in if you like the great outdoors!
How was the drive going to the "going to the sun road?" I drove through Yosemite and some part didn't have the wall barrier on the outer banks and I was really nervous. Does this place have wall barrier throughout? Great video btw! If may ask, how did you mount your GoPro, from inside or outside the car?
Scariest drive ever!! I was the passenger in a 25 foot camper. The entire time I felt like I was going to fall over! By the way, cameras are not supposed to drive that road.
It's incredible that we can actually build a road up the side of a mountain! How is the Logans Pass interpretive center? Parking lot is always full and i have yet to go inside haha...
@@SeattleSunshine perfect, that's around the time we'll be there this year. Is it too crowded, especially the visitors center especially Apgar and Logan Pass ?
@@seinfeldcostanza9433 All the visitor center and Lodge was closed due to covid. I'm not sure they open now or later. Several national park rangers helped outside of visitor center.
Beautiful footage! May I ask, is this from the west entrance going east? Or was this filmed from the east entrance going west? Great job on this video!
Due west at a blind day's end, flying pavement underfoot Some horizon eyeing me up, often does right at dusk Often known it wore that look And I've known it one too many times And the thought of flight for water whiter Now those passing dotted lines Going on and on just shake my sleep all night Could be I'm finally losing my fight Due south all the fog aired out No idea where all this leads Though I still wanted to show Going-to-the-Sun Road to you Still got one in me If I want to, I'll arrive at peace I know I decide what I remember If this ever mended me All the on and on Just shakes my sleep all night Now I'm losing my fight A estrada do sol O começo de tudo E as nuvens que agora se afastam Mostrando um caminho que está sempre lá E que é qualquer lado que a gente quiser caminhar -Going-to-the-sun road by Fleet Foxes
I like your video but I was going to go in September after Labor Day and I still see too many people I'm actually a little appalled I thought it would be much less crowded than going in July or August please get back to me the one who made the video I'm a little disappointed
@@SeattleSunshine I would assume if it's December or January there is definitely there is definitely much less people because it's hard to get into the park and because it's hard to get into the park and most things are closed and it's much much colder

This is hands down, one of the most beautiful n epic scenery place on earth. Never been there before, will be going there dead or alive.
Thank you for watching!!
If you like this check out Banff , Lake Louise Canmore and Kananaskis
You haven’t traveled much lol.
@@RockyR-y7f I have, but @zzzthaoster is not wrong. Grindelwald Valley in Switzerland has some comparably beautiful scenery.
And the Icefields Parkway
Beautiful, How Majestic
Watched this while listening to Fleet Foxes' "Going-to-the-sun-Road" on loop.
And boy oh boy, was it the most beautiful and immersive experience.
Fabulous filming job ... best I've ever seen! You've come the closest to capturing what it's really like to be there. Thank you
Thanks for your compliment 😊. It means a lot.
This is the one place people have to go when they go to Montana, it's incredible.
Thanks for your comment.

I had the opening music from The Shining playing in my head as I watched this. Would love to drive this myself, great video
Thank you!
Thank you for making this video! I’ll never be able to go to GNP because of my chronic illness, so this is the next best thing :-).
Thank you for filming that. Now I know I will not be taking that drive!
It’s beautiful, but no. I would have to do one of their tours.
I watched this while listening to "Keep your Rifle by your side (Choir version)" on headphones. It's something else!
Beautiful scenic drive! Thank you.
Thanks for your comment!!
Beautiful
Thanks for the Video.
Thanks for watching!
You have captured the trip.👍👍
Thanks for watching.
Beautiful video! We got to go several yrs ago but only as far as Lake McDonald. Was still too much snow up on Logan Pass! This was a nice way to see what we didn't get to! Thanks
Thanks for watching. You will definitely want to go back. I recommend all the way to many glacier hotel next to swiftcurrent lake. 😀
Nice job filming from different angles.
Beautiful scenic drive! Magnificent views! 😍👍👍
I'm glad you like it. Thanks.

@@badmoonPL I just checked this movie. Wow! Beautiful intro.Thanks for the great movie. :)
Wow what a great adventure!! We are in the park now. Thanks for the great information!!!!
I hope you enjoyed. Thanks.
Как же красиво

wow great info

The drive to the Overlook Hotel from The Shining was filmed on this road.
Great video. Thank you. How do you change the angle of the camera without showing the inside of the car? Is the camera on the outside of the car?
Technically, I was holding my Gopro all the way outside the window. So I can move the camera around. Also editing is essential. Thanks for watching.
Can I use my 2 wheel drive car? Or it requires 4wd?
Sorry for a sealy question
not a silly question - 2wd is fine in the summer, road is closed for most of the year though so check ahead. Hope you enjoy our country!
WOW, amazing scenery!!
I was curious who was the first person posted at 미씨유튜버 and came here. (recently found out that section)
Haha!! Thanks for visiting. 😀
Thank you

is allowed to swim in the lake?

It's not that scary, there is some space. I was holding my GoPro with window open at the passenger seat. Thanks for watching.
@@SeattleSunshine I came back from the trip several weeks ago, and the drive was awesome. Thanks!
@@deenugent473 I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
Part of the opening of the shining was filmed here
So, this road is actually 93M miles long?
I think this is exactly what Alaska would look like without snow.
Thanks for watching.
was this from lake mcdonald going east?
Scariest drive ever!!
I was the passenger in a 25 foot camper. The entire time I felt like I was going to fall over! By the way, cameras are not supposed to drive that road.
may i ask what equipment was used for filming? i really feel like i'm there just watching this!
I've used Gopro 8. Thank you 😊
@@SeattleSunshine lo thought it was a 360. nice
It's incredible that we can actually build a road up the side of a mountain! How is the Logans Pass interpretive center? Parking lot is always full and i have yet to go inside haha...
It's been long time since I visited there. I wish I can go sometimes soon. Thanks for your comment.
try going to lake louise on july long
What I noticed was the complete absence of RVs. No trailers, class A, or even class C rigs. Why is that?
I guess It was not fully open when I visited cause of pandemic. Thanks for watching.
Vehicles over 21 feet or over 8 feet wide are prohibited on the going to the sun road. Please visit Glacier's official website for the rules.
Beautiful video. So this was taken 4 months ago? If not which month was it? Planning to go there this Sept. Thank you,
We visited here on the labor day weekend last year which was almost 6 months ago.
@@SeattleSunshine perfect, that's around the time we'll be there this year. Is it too crowded, especially the visitors center especially Apgar and Logan Pass ?

Yes. It was from west to east. Thanks.
😍😍😍
may i know the road is it too curvy and dangerous?
Due west at a blind day's end, flying pavement underfoot
Some horizon eyeing me up, often does right at dusk
Often known it wore that look
And I've known it one too many times
And the thought of flight for water whiter
Now those passing dotted lines
Going on and on just shake my sleep all night
Could be I'm finally losing my fight
Due south all the fog aired out
No idea where all this leads
Though I still wanted to show Going-to-the-Sun Road to you
Still got one in me
If I want to, I'll arrive at peace
I know I decide what I remember
If this ever mended me
All the on and on
Just shakes my sleep all night
Now I'm losing my fight
A estrada do sol
O começo de tudo
E as nuvens que agora se afastam
Mostrando um caminho que está sempre lá
E que é qualquer lado que a gente quiser caminhar
-Going-to-the-sun road by Fleet Foxes
How is this real????
Where is the snow? Just another park now
I thought there are lots of snow by now. Still hope to enjoy there. 😉
“Just another park” he says
For some reason I have an irrational fear of heights. Is this going to put me over the edge?
It was okay for me. The road was pretty wide than you watch in the video. Wider than highway 1 to Big Sur. :)
For anyone liking this check out Banff, Lake Louise, Canmore and Kananaskis
I like your video but I was going to go in September after Labor Day and I still see too many people I'm actually a little appalled I thought it would be much less crowded than going in July or August please get back to me the one who made the video I'm a little disappointed
Glacier NP is always crowded whether it is cold or hot. People are rushing there after reopening. Hope you still can enjoy there. It is beautiful.
@@SeattleSunshine Yeah so if that's the case should I just go in August instead of September. I guess it really doesn't matter be honest with me
@@SeattleSunshine I would assume if it's December or January there is definitely there is definitely much less people because it's hard to get into the park and because it's hard to get into the park and most things are closed and it's much much colder
@@jasontomica8938 If it's winter, less people but many roads are closing due to snow. Sometimes, you can't go drive all the way.
closed when snow comes... short season
