Site

Glacier and its Canadian neighbour Waterton Lakes together form the world's first transboundary International Dark Sky Park, fully certified in 2021. Logan Pass hosts ticketed Star Parties in summer where rangers and local astronomy club members set up telescopes right at the Continental Divide.

Drive from Toronto: West Glacier, Montana is the main entrance, reached via Highway 2; about 2.5 hours north of Missoula.

Best time of year: July through September, when Going-to-the-Sun Road (and Logan Pass) is open; Logan Pass Star Parties typically run in summer, tickets required.
