Where: 52 miles in Glacier National Park

Going-to-the-Sun Road is the only highway that crosses the Glacier National Park located in the state of Montana. The road was first completed in 1932, and spans the width of the park. The sweet spot to enjoy this gorgeous driving landscape is between June and October after the snow is thawed or plowed. The drive features glaciers, snowy peaks, and gorges that carve out the glacial canyons. This is also the only location in the USA that water flows to the Gulf of Mexico, Hudson Bay, and Pacific Ocean. It typically takes up to 10 weeks to plow the road, so visitors are encouraged to check with the park before traveling to the area in June. The latest the park ever opened due to snow was July 13th in 2011.
