Yes! The drive is about 140 miles and takes about three hours. Some travelers take US-89, which offers spectacular scenery but is very curvy and lacks guardrails. If time is an issue, we recommend Route 464, which is still scenic, but is an easier drive. Directions are available here. Either way, make a quick stop in East Glacier Park to visit the historic lodge and get a glimpse of the beautiful Two Medicine region of the park. Then, pick up US-2, which skirts the southern edge of Glacier National Park. The road follows the path of the Amtrak train line and offers nice scenery. Be sure to leave a little extra time to stop at the Goat Lick overlook, where you can watch mountain goats on the salt licks across the ravine. You can download a brochure about the goat lick here. And don't forget your binoculars!
