A little history on the park:
Glacier National Park was created in 1910. There are over 730 miles of trails and one road through the park which is called "Going-to-the-Sun Road". Vehicles longer than 21 ft. or wider than 8 ft.,including mirrors, are restricted from driving on the road past a certain point. Shuttle service is available to all points of interest and is recommended due to limited parking. Most of the hikers use the shuttles.

The Going-To-The-Sun Road is an engineering marvel and one of the most beautiful mountain roads in the world. It meanders up steep slopes of the Continental Divide and the highest point of the road is at Logan Pass (6,646 feet).

The road was built mostly between 1921 and 1937. Some of the road was built into the sides of near-vertical cliffs using stonemasonry bridges, tunnels and arches. A rehabilitation project of epic proportion is being conducted for structural & safety repairs and could take another 10 years to complete.
