Folds, Faults, and Formations: A Drivable Geology Tour in St. Mary Valley

Glacier National Park

  • 30 - 60 minutes
  • 5 tour stops

The rainbow of rocks that make up Glacier’s mountains aren’t just beautiful, they tell the history of their formation. This self-guided driving tour takes you to five points on the east side of the park, each showing different geologic features. Most stops are an overlook. One includes a short walk with a few steps. Please exercise caution as you drive the road, and particularly as you look for parking spots at crowded pullouts. Watch for pedestrians, obey traffic laws, and only park in designated spaces.
