This 12-mile drive enters Glacier on the northeast side of the park, west of Babb, and travels along Sherburne Lake for almost 5 miles, penetrating a glacially carved valley surrounded by mountains. It passes through meadows and a scrubby forest of lodgepole pines, aspen, and cottonwood. The farther you travel up the valley, the more clearly you'll be able to see Grinnell and Salamander glaciers. The road, which passes Many Glacier Hotel and ends at the Swiftcurrent Campground, is usually closed from October to May.

Don't drive between St Mary and Two Medicine at night. I did it once two years ago and will never do that at night again.
I would by-pass both goat lick and two med and do fishercap lake(for moose)
I don't recommend driving at night on the east side of the park with the free range cattle and horses. Most of the horses go home for the night but that doesn't always hold for the cattle.

On the east side of the park, try out beautiful Highway 49, also known as Looking Glass Pass, from the Two Medicine area towards St. Mary.

The stunning Many Glacier Road might also be open, although you should top off your gas tank and pack a lunch, as there are generally no services available in the shoulder seasons there.

From West Glacier, drive Highway 2 into Glacier National Park. Stop for lunch in Essex, and enjoy the delightful year-round Isaak Walton Inn — especially a hit with train lovers! You can even stay in a caboose at the Isaak Walton.

Keep driving on Highway 2, but take time to commune with the mountain goats at Goat Lick.

At the end of the day, return to East Glacier and savor a Serrano’s Montana-Mexican dinner. Serrano’s opens as reliably as the sun every year on May 1, and remains open through September 30. 

Check out the Apgar Visitor Center

First time visitor to Glacier National Park? Make Apgar, the park’s only visitor center with semi-year-round hours, your first stop. 

p.s. in 2017, the western half of the Going to the Sun Road will close on Monday, October 9, for culvert replacement
