Mike Foote and I decided to pedal Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park on a Monday night, thinking it would be a little less crowded. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but it was a pretty fantastic little ride.
All footage is from an iPhone 8 and a GoPro Hero 3, except for a couple shots from Mike’s iPhone X.

I really enjoyed this video! I've seen quite a few videos of "Going to the Sun Road" and yours is the best ... you did an amazing job! Never been there, the most exciting mountain road I've traveled was Pikes Peak many years ago. LOL... Also, your music was great too... Thanks and be well!!

Awesome! Can you give a link to the poetic sounds? This route was just featured in the weekend July 9/10 WSJ..I imagine the secret is out. Sent me right to your beautiful Video. In the 80's we would ride Engineer, Imogene,Imogen, Pearl pass...From Durango to Aspen on clunkers as WTB was in its infancy.

For who don't know, those places where there's no GUARDRAILS is because the National Park Service take these wood guardrails out in mid or late October because these areas are avalanche path areas. After they plow the road they put these wood guardrails back in. At 8:29 there's a stack of these wood guardrails ready to put back in place. Sometimes avalanches bring down rocks, boulders or in rock slides as well. I seen a RU-vid video of a big rock boulder the size of a dump truck fell off a ridge on Tioga Pass in Yosemite National Park. They dynamite it and pushed the debris off the road. Another one happened near Telluride, Colorado. This one was the size of a small house. The highway department was going dynamite this but the Governor intervene. He had the highway department make a road around this boulder and make it a tourist attraction. So rock slides happen in GNP like other mountain roads.

Its not like guard rails will do much other than break your leg before you fly off

This looks awesome. Can you bike the whole thing now? Wanting to come up from Bozeman on Memorial Day but I’m wondering now if I’d be better off waiting until June.

We’re going to be there from June the 7th through the 11th this year to ride it. I’m just curious, were you able to park at Avalanche, or did you have to park further down?
