Fee-Free Entrance to Glacier National Park

Spring is one of the best times to visit Glacier National Park. The snow is receding and crowds that are often present in the peak season are nowhere to be found. To make sure everyone can get into the park and have some fun, GNP is waiving all entrance fees next week (M-F; April 22-26) in recognition of National Park Week. Other fee-free entrance days for 2013 are: August 25, September 28, and November 9-11.

If you want to get in the park but can't make it next week, park entrance fees are $15 per vehicle through 4/30/13 and bump up to $25 per vehicle starting 5/1/13. There are many other pass products available that can be viewed at: http://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/entrance-fees.htm
