Shuttles and tour buses in Glacier National Park
Getting around the different parts of Glacier National Park is easiest by car, although some shuttles and tour buses do run inside the park, particularly on Going-to-the-Sun Road. Shuttles can be relatively expensive ($8 for each major segment of the routes, which connect the Belton Chalet to St. Mary's Visitor Center and even cross the border to enter Waterton National Park in Canada, where they terminate at the famous Prince of Wales Hotel. Red tour buses called Jammers (so named after the old practice of jamming the gears in place to climb steep hills) are much more expensive but a beloved fixture of the park to many tourists. They have now been modernized to run on natural gas.
The National Park Service also operates free shuttles along the Going-to-the-Sun Road . These shuttles run every fifteen or thirty minutes. However, intervals may differ depending on road construction.
Visitors without cars should acquaint themselves well with the shuttle schedules before setting out as they run infrequently and often fill up fast.
