Going-to-the-Sun Road

Construction began in 1921 and finished in 1932, with formal dedication on July 15, 1933. The road runs approximately 50 miles across Glacier National Park, crossing the Continental Divide at Logan Pass — elevation 6,646 feet — the only road that traverses the park. It was the first road registered simultaneously as a National Historic Place, National Historic Landmark, and Historic Civil Engineering Landmark. The project cost $2.5 million and replaced a journey that once required several days with one measurable in hours.
