This area is really so incredibly beautiful.

You need to be ready for any type of weather. So if you normally wear shorts when it’s 0C/32F and snowing, go ahead. Otherwise I would recommend bear spray, long pants, a rain shell, along with a sweater or base layer in your pack. 12-24 oz water and a Clif Bar is plenty sufficient. And your camera/smart phone.

Just what the name suggests; moose love this sort of terrain, as they're built to navigate it. If you look on the opposite side of the road you'll catch a glimpse of the far prettier McDonald Creek.

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.

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.

Very easy path, flat, beautiful scenery through the old forest. Can be very crowded in the morning
