All visitors much purchase an entrance pass prior to arrival. In addition, if hoping to travel through the park on Going-to-the-Sun-Road, visitors must purchase a vehicle reservation for the day of travel. There is a limited number of reservations available for each day and as such, purchasing a reservation opens the evening before the desired date and will be sold on a first come first serve basis. Reservations tend to sell out immediately, so be sure to purchase a reservation as soon as purchasing options open.
