Biking in Glacier National Park

Mountain biking is limited in the Park but there are a few options for cyclists on gravel roads with lesser traffic than on the main paved Park roads. The gravel roads take you to lesser visited portions of the Park and will offer a diversity of sweeping views and frequent wildlife sightings. Visiting Polebridge is a treat in itself and after cycling all day, you have earned a well deserved fresh baked delight!

​Polebridge to Kintla Lake Route

This route is completely on gravel roads and is 14 miles in length. There is an optional 6 mile side trip to Bowman Lake, all gravel road. The road between Polebridge and Kintla Lake is relative flat crossing several open prairies. The Bowman Lake Road has a bit more climbing with its rolling hill terrain all the way to the Bowman Lake Campground at the foot of the Lake. Always check with the Apgar Ranger Station on road conditions and closures prior to taking this route.

​Inside North Fork Road

Cycling the 28 miles between Apgar and Polebridge offer different and unique vantage points of Glacier National Park from the West, a lesser seen view. In the spring, there are great opportunities to see wildlife up close along this route and traveling by bike gives you the advantage for sightings. Always check with the Apgar Ranger Station on road conditions and closures prior to taking this route.

​Going-To-The-Sun Road

​Possibly one of the Nation’s most amazing roadways and is shared with vehicles and cyclists. This spectacular road maps out a 50 mile path through the middle of Glacier National Park. In addition to crossing the Continental Divide it also travels along the shores of Lake McDonald on the west side and St. Mary’s Lake on the eastern side of Logan Pass. Bicyclists have numerous opportunities to stop and enjoy the views.

The Going-to-the-Sun Highway route officially begins in two separate places. The long route begins at Apgar Campground and ends at the top of the Continental Divide at Logan Pass. The shorter route begins at Logan Creek and also ends at Logan Pass.

Moon Light Rides are allowed on full moons in the summer and are simply spectacular. Many cyclists enjoy the "ride" from Logan Pass down the Going-to-the-Sun Highway.
