This area is really so incredibly beautiful.

Red Rocks Point is a scenic pullout along Going-to-the-Sun Road, just west of McDonald Creek’s tumbling cascades. It’s an easy place to miss—but worth a pause. Park (or dismount your bike) and follow the short path down to broad, rust-colored rocks that give the spot its name. From here, you’ll get a striking view of the creek as it rushes through carved channels, especially vibrant in early summer. It’s a peaceful spot for a quick rest or a picnic, with the layered peaks of Glacier National Park rising in the distance and the sound of water all around.

Reaching the summit of Logan Pass by bike is a true high point—literally and figuratively—of any ride in Glacier National Park. At 6,646 feet, the pass straddles the Continental Divide and offers sweeping views of alpine meadows, rugged peaks, and likely some mountain goats. The visitor center at the top has restrooms, water, interpretive displays, and rangers on hand to answer questions. It’s also a jumping-off point for iconic hikes like the Hidden Lake Overlook and Highline Trail.

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.

Going right under the road, Haystack creek falls is a beautiful natural and man-made sight, with impressive masonry work to create the tunnel, and a natural wonder running underneath.

Bowman Lake is located in the corner of Glacier National Park and is accessible via a rugged 6-mile unpaved road or the Bowman Lake Trail, which overlaps the Pacific Northwest Trail. The lake is approximately 7 miles in length and 1 mile in width, making it the third-largest lake in the park. The Bowman Lake Campground on the shores has 48 campsites and is excellent for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing, with motorized boats limited to 10 horsepower or less.
