Riding a bike instead of driving a car in Glacier National Park adds an incredible sense of unity with nature. Along the way, you can discover all the extraordinary wildlife of northern Montana up close. Suitable biking routes in the national park include Camas Road, Two Medicine Road, and McDonald Creek Bike Path. These roads are mostly flat and accessible to both adults and children. Whatever you choose, it will be an unforgettable experience.

The legendary Going-to-the-Sun Road is suitable for confident cyclists only. This National Historic Landmark stretches across the entire park from east to west for 32 miles (51 km). The popular section between Apgar Visitor Center and Logan Pass includes two tunnels, a challenging climb to Logan Pass at 6,646 feet (2025 m), and breathtaking views of McDonald Falls, Bird Woman Falls Overlook, and Haystack Falls.

The most convenient months for biking are May and June. At this time, roads are open exclusively to hikers and cyclists. With the onset of summer, roads begin to open to cars, and there are fewer opportunities for cyclists to explore the area freely.
