Glacier National Park lies on the route from Alaska, Yukon, and Banff. Going to the Sun Road is a very interesting drive with campgrounds. It is a good place to visit in your FWC/ATC on your way home. Pictured are two classic Red Busses called “Jammers” and a classic camper called a “Keystone.” The National Park Service regulations say vehicles over 21 feet in length, including the bumpers, are prohibited on the Going to the Sun Road. All the vehicles pictured went over the road. Which are longer than 21 feet?

A great place John D.
I love the scenery on the GTSR, hate the traffic. Still it's worthy of a trip to see. My last visit was in August of '06, just days after a 30,000 acre fire went through the east side of Glacier NP. My pics were all hazey from the smoke but I did get a few, even some of the Jammers.

It was even more smokey in September 2007. Our campers are ideal for expeditions, such as long sight seeing trips. It is not readily apparent to many Americans that Glacier National Park is connected to a chain of beautiful Canadian parks to the north. They are highly recommended. With 5 dollar a gallon fuel in Canada, light efficient RVs are almost a necessity.

just make sure to have either your pass ports or like we did, we forgot our daughters birth certificates, the guy at the border would let us across, but told us that we would have a hard time coming back across...that was back in '06 though....
