Glacier National Park, a majestic wilderness area in Montana, requires visitors accessing certain areas during peak season to obtain advance vehicle entry passes. These passes, managed through the online platform Recreation.gov, are distinct from park entrance passes and are intended to mitigate congestion in popular corridors.
The implementation of this system aims to protect the park’s natural resources and enhance the visitor experience by reducing overcrowding and traffic delays. Previously, high traffic volume led to significant wait times and limited access to key areas. By controlling the number of vehicles, park managers can better manage resources and provide a more enjoyable environment for everyone.
