Glacier National Park Red Bus Tour

Vintage 1930s Fleet: These beautifully restored, vibrant red vehicles have been carrying eager adventurers through the park since the 1930s.

• The Famous "Jammers": The friendly tour drivers are affectionately nicknamed "Jammers" because of the sound the gears used to make when shifting on steep mountain switchbacks.
• Roll-Back Canvas Tops: On beautiful sunny days, the drivers roll back the canvas roofs. This gives you an unobstructed, open-air view of the towering alpine peaks and big Montana sky above.

• Zero Commute: Wake up, grab a fresh cup of coffee at the campground, and walk over to the main office. Your chariot awaits right outside!
• No Vehicle Restrictions: The Going-to-the-Sun Road bans vehicles over 21 feet. By booking a tour, you can sit back and see the entire highway even if you traveled here in a massive motorhome.
• Unmatched Local Expertise: The drivers are seasoned park veterans. They share rich stories about Native American heritage, local geology, glacial history, and where to spot wildlife along the cliffs.

• Eastern Alpine Tour (Short & Sweet | 2.5–3.5 Hours)
  Perfect for families or travelers wanting a quick snapshot. This tour climbs up the eastern slopes directly to Logan Pass, giving you plenty of time to take photos at the Continental Divide before heading back down.
• East Side Crown of the Continent (Full Day | 6–8 Hours)
  The ultimate overview. This comprehensive tour travels the entire length of the Going-to-the-Sun Road over Logan Pass, taking you through the cedar forests of the west side before making its way back.
• Big Sky Circle Tour (Epic Adventure | 8 Hours)
  A massive loop for serious sightseers. This route travels over Marias Pass, edges the southern border of the park, hits the lush West Side, and safely crosses Logan Pass back to the East Gate.

1. Book Months in Advance: These historic tours are incredibly popular and sell out fast. Secure your seats the moment you book your KOA campsite by visiting the official Glacier National Park Lodges website.
2. Pack Extra Clothes: Because the buses feature open-air tops, it can get very breezy and chilly at high alpine elevations. Bring a windbreaker, a warm jacket, and a beanie, even in the middle of July!
3. Keep Your Camera Handy: The jammers know all the best places to pull over safely. Keep your camera or smartphone charged to capture sweeping glacial valleys and the occasional bighorn sheep.
