Logan Pass

If a trip to Glacier National Park (https://emerginghorizons.com/barrier-free-travel-glacier-yellowstone-and-grand-teton-national-parks-for-wheelchair-users-and-slow-walkers/#itin) is in your travel plans, then consider getting tickets for the Glacier National Park Shuttle. This express shuttle service runs from both sides of the national park up to Logan Pass, and it runs from July 1 to September 7 in 2026.

 All shuttles are wheelchair-accessible, and the ticket price is a very reasonable $1 for passengers over 2 years old (there’s no charge for lap children). Shuttles depart from Apgar Visitor Center and Lake McDonald Lodge on the west side, and St. Mary Visitor Center and the Rising Sun Picnic Area on the east side. Advance tickets are required, and they are only available at www.recreation.gov.  A portion of the tickets are released 60 days in advance, while the remainder are available 7 PM MDT for next day entry. Plan ahead, as walk-up tickets are not available at the park.

Why Take the Shuttle?

And in case you are on the fence about riding the shuttle, here are six reasons that make it a worthwhile choice.

• The drive on the winding road up to Logan Pass can be daunting if you’re not used to driving in the mountains. Taking the shuttle allows you to relax and leave the driving to someone else.
• You’ll definitely save on gas if you take the shuttle. And you won’t have to worry about filling up your tank to make it to your next destination.
• You can really enjoy the view along the way, and even take some breathtaking photos if you’re not driving.
• You don’t have to worry about finding a parking place at Logan Pass. The shuttle drops you off right in front of the Visitor Center. And there’s a nice accessible trail near the Visitor Center.
• If you’re worried about time management, taking the shuttle can help you keep to a schedule. It’s easy for time to slip away while stopping at every pullout along the way to Logan Pass.
• Last but not least, you don’t have to worry about driving in inclement weather if you take the shuttle. Rain storms and even a summer snowfall can make the winding mountain road to the top of Logan Pass slick, and even dangerous, in some places. Play it safe and take the shuttle.
