The more you know— 2026 Glacier National Park news
This summer Glacier National Park has done AWAY WITH the timed reservation system. This means, you can enter the park at whatever time you’d like without having to go online to get a reservation beforehand.
The park will pilot a ticketed-only, Going-to-the-Sun Road shuttle system with early morning express routes to Logan Pass. They are also limiting parking at Logan’s Pass for three hours starting July 1, weather permitting.
*** WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU***
Really it will not affect our operations at Elope Montana or your wedding day in the least. We typically head out for your ceremony (thanks to our LATE sunsets!) around 3 pm. Around 5pm., we usually see cars headed back to the bigger towns for dinner, leaving more space for us to explore and adventure. The parking at the pass will not affect us either, as sometimes we stop there to explore, but not for more than 3 hours.
We just wanted to give you a heads up for your days off enjoying the park after your wedding. For more shuttle info you can look here- https://www.recreation.gov
