Montana's Going To The Sun Road

The area's philosophy is to provide all visitors with an opportunity to experience the scenic majesty and historic character of the park through a wide range of visitor activities. The road was opened in 1932. In 1983 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1985 it was declared a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark and in 1997 it was designated as a National Historic Landmark. Its character including width, scenic vistas, and classic stone masonry walls contribute to that designation and will be preserved. The Going-to-the-Sun Road is the only route through the park that directly links the east and west sides, and its scenic value and diverse visitor experiences are unparalleled.
