( [link removed] )
West entrance sign to Glacier National ParkDear Friend,
Glacier National Park announced last week they will be
transitioning to a temporary ticketed entry system for the
Going-to-the-Sun Road corridor for this summer season. The goals
of the program are to help manage congestion in the park, to
respond to a slate of road construction projects scheduled in and
around the park this summer, and to improve the visitor
experience by helping remove uncertainty about access to the
park.
The system will require a ticket for entry at the park’s West
Glacier and St. Mary Entrances from 6am-5pm MT daily, May 28th to
September 6th, 2021.
I wanted to touch base and provide you with some information and
tools to help you navigate this new system.
Here are a couple of key points to keep in mind:
1) Entry tickets are ONLY required for entry into Glacier Park
via the West Glacier and St. Mary gates between the hours of
6:00am and 5:00pm, and only from May 28th to September 6th.
Entrances to the park at Many Glacier, Two Medicine, Polebridge,
or along U.S. Highway 2 will not need an entry reservation
ticket.
2) If you have a reservation at a lodging property, campground,
or have an activity scheduled with a concessionaire inside the
park – including boat rides, bus tours, horseback rides, or
guided hike reservations – an entry reservation ticket is already
included with your reservation, and you will not need an
additional separate entry reservation ticket for the duration of
your service reservation. Simply bring your reservation
confirmation and a photo ID at park entrance stations upon
arrival.
3) Entry tickets will be available for purchase online at
Recreation.gov

beginning April 29th, 2021 for a $2 fee. You will still require
a park pass in addition to your entry ticket.An infographic with

Please spend some time reviewing the helpful links below. The
park has put together a webpage including all details surrounding
the new ticketed entry system, as well as road construction
updates that outline the dates and scope of various road
construction projects happening this summer. This information is
also linked on our website at Glacier.org ( [link removed] ) .
