4Glacier National Park

Veteran visitors say the 50-mile Going-to-the-Sun Road, first open to visitors in the summer of 1933, is arguably the “greatest stretch of asphalt” in the USA.  Mainly because it runs through the much-underrated Glacier National Park in Montana along the border of Alberta and British Columbia in Canada.  If you don’t like snow, the best time to visit is in the summer.

You can see forests, mountains, waterfalls, wildflowers, and (naturally) glaciers too.  You may even spot bears and mountain goats.  Hikers have their choice of several scenic hiking trails.  Enjoy the engineering marvel known as The Loop where this famous road rises right along the mountain’s edge and makes hairpin turns.  It was the first US road to be listed as both a National Civil Engineering Landmark and a National Historic Landmark.”
