In 2026, visiting Glacier National Park will become more flexible. The park in Montana is ending vehicle reservations and testing alternative ways to manage visitor flow. Located in the Northern Rockies near the Canadian border and connected to Waterton Lakes National Park, Glacier is a popular stop on Rocky Mountains road trips. While spontaneous access will be easier, high-traffic areas such as Going-to-the-Sun Road may still experience congestion during peak hours.
