How Do I Get a Shuttle Ticket?

To ride the Logan Pass Shuttle in 2026, visitors must have a ticket. Tickets are valid for one day and have specific departing times and locations. Tickets can not be purchased at the park. They can only be purchased on Recreation.gov for a $1 processing fee.

Please note: the park cannot predict the opening date of the alpine section of the Going-to-the-Sun Road. Typically, the Going-to-the-Sun Road is fully open by early July. However, some years see snowstorms and avalanches continuing through May, making it impossible to predict an opening date.This fluctuating date may impact the shuttle start dates.
