Saint Mary Lake

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Montana’s Saint Mary Lake is on the east side of Glacier National Park and is the second largest lake in Glacier Park. It's 10 miles long and in a valley with mountains on either side. The lake can have strong winds and cold water, but it has unbeatable views. In winter, the lake can freeze over completely!

Haystack Creek Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

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.

Upper McDonald Creek Overlook

Moose Country Pond

Highlight • Lake

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.

Red Rock Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

Saint Mary Lake

Highlight • Lake

Great view of the lake from this part of the road. The stunning lake is 10 miles long. Keep your eyes peeled for elk, mule deer, and both grizzly and black bears as you explore this stunning area.

Depending on the season, the landscape around the lake transforms. In warmer months, you'll be greeted by vibrant wildflowers like Indian paintbrush and lupine, painting the hillsides. When autumn arrives, the hills explode in a riot of orange and yellow as the aspens turn.
