Glacier National Park in the northern Rockies, which features the Trail of the Cedars!

 

 

 

Today in United States, in addition to Park Service properties, there are 5'800 campgrounds in national forests and glasslands. All 50 states have incredible park systems of their own, together offering 1,737 camping areas with almost 213,000 sites, according to the National Association of State Park Directors. Campgrounds are fuller and booking reservations has gotten trickier. Besides many experienced campers booked five and six months ago, when many national park campsites went on sale. The good news for latecomers is that there is still plenty of room at campgrounds that take reservations, during midweek, when demand is lower.

 

There are very few roads within the boundaries of Glacier National Park, in order to maintain the primitive/unspoiled beauty of this very special area. The only exception is a 52 mile stretch called, “Going-to-the-Sun” road.

 

The famed Going-to-the-Sun Road, a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, traverses through the heart of the park and crosses the Continental Divide, allowing visitors breathtaking views of the rugged Lewis and Livingston mountain ranges, as well as dense forests, alpine tundra, waterfalls and two large lakes. Glacier officials formally opened the road in a special ceremony on July 15, 1933. At that event more than 4,000 folks gathered to celebrate the road.

 

Going-To-The-Sun Road is the only road that spans the park, the Going-to-the-Sun Road, is open from late May or early June until mid-October, depending upon the weather. Going-to-the-Sun Road is usually crowded in the summertime -- especially in July and August.

 

Along with the Going-to-the-Sun Road, five historic hotels and chalets are listed as National Historic Landmarks, and a total of 350 locations are on the National Register of Historic Places.
