Amazing Going-to-the-Sun Road (Short Version) – Glacier National Park, Montana MT

Amazing Going-to-the-Sun Road (Short Version) – Glacier National Park, Montana MT.

Ride with us (from a driver’s point of view) as we travel up the west side of Glacier National Park towards Logan Pass and the continental divide. Going-to-the-Sun road is an engineering masterpiece and is considered to be one of the most scenic highways in the world.

Glacier National Park was originally designed to be seen by horseback. A road into the center of the park was requested once automobiles became popular with tourists. Men labored 20 years building this marvelous roadway designed to blend with Glacier’s magnificent landscape.

Going-to-the-Sun road was dedicated in 1933. Stunning vistas await you as you travel the 50 mile scenic highway. It was the first national park road designed to complement scenic wonders. Logan Pass sits on the continental divide at 6,646 feet above sea level.

This is the first road to be designated a National Historic Landmark and is a National Civil Engineering Landmark. The road is also on the National Register of Historic Places.

This sequence was captured with a GoPro Hero 3 camera and edited with Adobe Premier Pro.

I can enjoy the view without having to watch the road as well. Thanks.

Long ago, long before go pro and the internet, we had a chance at this thing but chickened out. Lol. Fast forward many years later and I can watch your great video. Thanks.

[bigbusa]

great footage but the music has me wanting to poke ice pics in my ear drums. Maybe a nice john denver song?

[mikeodonnell]

Where did you find that atrocious music??!!!!

[KathleenMcNe]

I'm in Glacier National Park right now. I drove Going-to-the-Sun Road round-trip today and two days ago. The views are spectacular, but the road is not for the faint of heart.

I'm glad to enjoy this brief escape from the comfort of my home without being nervous or having to drive. Thank you. You did a really good job filming; I could almost feel like I was in the vehicle. Great editing for this short version. You picked very scenic parts. The Creator is a Master Artist, and you, creator of this video, did an artistic job in creating the video.

Watched this beautifully roadtrip tour while playing The Shining Theme - great memories from a great movie <3 It's hard to believe that it is now 40 years since the film has it's first theatricially release.

Looks awesome! I'm going for my first time this late Sept. I hope the whole road will still be open. It'll be my first time in Montana. I'm also visiting Yellowstone. Can't wait!

[Kimmath]

This is by far the best footage of Going-To-The-Sun Road I've ever found on Youtube!
It very well captured the scenery with high definition!
I've been there once and your video has truly brought back my vivid memory!
Thanks for capturing such a very good moment.
Hope you have another great trips and I'll wait for your videos :D

We were there two months ago. This is a must see for anyone who loves national parks and nature. One of the most beautiful places I have seen.

[WalkingWestNorway]

Very nice to follow you along this road, spectacular view on a very beautiful day -

[veronicamorgan]

All I can say about this video is unbelievable. Soooo, beautiful, it's breath taking! You are so lucky to be in a area with so much beauty. I remember as a child seeing this, my Aunt and uncle lived in Missoula for many years. Thank you for sharing this most excellent video!

[NamaNama]

Wow but scary 😳. Thanks for sharing the video. Very interesting 👌

[patgosnell]

Going To The Sun Road, is a wonderful experience, if you aren't real weary of heights----I'm very scared of heights, but traveled the Sun Road, back in 1987---I wasn't scared at all, and loved every minute of it---This video was great, enjoyed it very much!!

[sharonlafrenz]

We drove this road, both ways, many times, and were wowed every trip. It was built by the CCC during the Depression era. Several workers lost their lives—but everyone was desperate for jobs.

Thanks for sharing the going to the Sunroad' driving footage..last year when I visited the middle area was closed so I wasn't able to drive full especially Logan pass area I had to drive all the way down to the South Togo to the opposite..

[thetravelchannel]

Going to the sun is so beautiful. I have been there 3 times and I want to go again.

[ericstoner]

Thinking about doing this next year! Can't wait!!
