As the summer season approaches, Glacier National Park reminds visitors about important changes for the 2026 season. These changes, first announced in February, include the elimination of vehicle reservations anywhere in the park, as well as a new reservation-only shuttle system and three-hour parking limits at Logan Pass.
To help visitors plan ahead, Glacier has created a dedicated page with information about 2026 access and shuttle changes: Visiting Logan Pass in 2026 - Glacier National Park (U.S. National Park Service).
Glacier’s shuttles on the Going-to-the-Sun Road to Logan Pass will run on a reservation-only system during the summer season.
Shuttle tickets will be available on Recreation.gov. Tickets will be released during two booking windows. A portion of tickets will be available 60 days in advance beginning May 2, 2026, at 8 a.m. MDT, on a rolling basis. The remaining tickets will be released daily at 7 p.m. MDT, beginning June 30, for next-day shuttles.
No vehicle reservations are required anywhere in the park this year.
Parking at Logan Pass is limited to three hours starting July 1, weather permitting.
All Sun Tours and Red Bus tours that previously departed from the Apgar Visitor Center will now depart from the newly designated Quarter Circle Parking Lot.
