Amtrak's historic Empire Builder route follows the southern border of Glacier National Park, with stops at East Glacier, Essex, West Glacier, and Whitefish. You can travel by foot, horse, bike, boat, and car in the parks. To help reduce traffic congestion, take a red scenic coach tour or the shuttle service. Modern, wheelchair-accessible buses make several daily trips over Logan Pass between West Glacier and St. Mary. Road Information Roads and highways to Glacier and Waterton are well maintained and open year-round.
Most park roads are clear during spring, summer, and fall.
Road construction will continue at Logan Pass west through Oberlin Bend, so expect some delays. In winter, all areas of Glacier are open, but you have to be hardy to get there. No snowmobiles are allowed in the park. The roads to the year-round community of Waterton Park and the Akamina Parkway to Cameron Lake are plowed all winter. Mountain weather is fickle, so there's a chance for bright sunshine or snow every day of the year in Glacier and Waterton.
