"Imagine the obstacles faced by the engineers and laborers who constructed the winding Going-to-the-Sun Road more than fifty years ago. Sheer cliffs, short construction seasons, sixty foot snow-drifts, and tons of solid rock make road building across the Continental Divide a unique challenge. When Glacier National Park celebrated the completion of the Going-to-the Sun Road on July 15, 1933, more than two decades of planning and construction had become a spectacular reality".

Its a must see. The first time I was there I was 12, and I had a close encounter with a mountain goat who came down to the parking area and entertained a bunch of people by jumping on cars and whatnot. The drive itself scared the hell out of me, because my dad kept looking over side saying "look at that kids" instead of watching the road. It was very memorable. I'm not a national parks expert, but I've been to quite a few, and I've never seen anything more awe inspiring than Logan Pass.

I've been on it quite a few times. I went to the university of montana which is only 3 hours away so we would drive up there often. Some of my fondest memories are from day hikes I've taken along that road. I would imagine that a motorcycle would be the ideal mode of transportation. If you decide to do it, let me know. I'd be glad to recommend some hikes etc. Absolutely beautiful.
