Many Glacier Valley    
As the park has previously announced, the Swiftcurrent area of Many Glacier Valley will be closed to public access during the summer of 2025 due to ongoing construction. The closure will greatly reduce the amount of available parking in Many Glacier Valley. The park is currently researching access alternatives for the valley in 2025. More information about 2025 visitor access options will be announced in a separate news release.  

We encourage you to check out Glacier National Park’s information and FAQ about Vehicle Reservations. The most current info on Glacier is always on the Park’s website.
