Big Bend is one of the most iconic curves on Going-to-the-Sun Road, where the pavement sweeps in a dramatic arc beneath towering peaks and open sky. Located just west of Logan Pass, it offers a breathtaking vantage point of the upper Garden Wall and the valley far below. There’s a small pullout where you can pause to take in the view—or catch your breath if you're climbing by bike. In summer, wildflowers often blanket the slopes, and waterfalls thread down the cliffs in the distance. It’s a classic Glacier National Park scene, and one of the road’s most photographed spots.
