About Renting a Car at East Glacier Park Center

Rent a car in East Glacier Park and have Glacier National Park's eastern entrance just 5 km away.

A car is essentially a requirement to experience the park's remote valleys and hiking trails.

East Glacier Park is a small town at the edge of the Blackfeet Nation reservation, surrounded by dramatic Rocky Mountain peaks.

Going-to-the-Sun Road typically opens in June – plan your drive there early in the morning to avoid queues at the park's road closures.
