Glacier National Park Reminds Visitors About 2026 Shuttle System and Logan Pass Access Changes

WEST GLACIER, Mont . [April 17, 2026] - As the summer season approaches, Glacier National Park is reminding visitors about important changes taking effect for the 2026 season. These changes, first announced in February, include the elimination of vehicle reservations anywhere in the park this year, as well as a new reservation-only shuttle system and three-hour parking limits at Logan Pass.

To help visitors plan ahead, Glacier has created a dedicated page with everything you need to know about 2026 access and shuttle changes: Visiting Logan Pass in 2026 - Glacier National Park (U.S. National Park Service). Here are key highlights to expect for a summer visit to visits to Glacier this year:

What's New for 2026

The remaining tickets will be released daily at 7 p.m. MDT, beginning June 30, for next-day shuttles.

• No vehicle reservations are required anywhere in the park this year.

• Parking at Logan Pass is limited to three hours starting July 1 (weather permitting).
