💥 3 Unusual Tips For Glacier Shuttle Tickets That ACTUALLY Work 💥

This is how I get Glacier Shuttle tickets for Logan Pass with a 100% success rate:

1. Don’t wait for a chunk of tickets to be available at once. Add what you can to your cart, then keep refreshing the reservations page to snag additional tickets as they re-release.

2. Strategically add or delete items from your cart to restart your 15-minute counter. This will give you even more time to hold what's in your cart while you wait for all the tickets you need to be available.

3. Wait for the “second” release of tickets 15 mins after the initial release. This is when inactive carts are purged and loads of shuttle tickets are available again.

and most importantly… practice! Do a dry run before your trip so you understand how the interface works.

Questions? Lmk!
Success? Tell me if this worked for you and how your trip was!

Logan Pass parking restrictions at Glacier National Park have officially launched. Here's what you can expect 👇

If you're visiting this summer you won't need a timed-entry reservation, but you will be limited to 3-hour parking for Logan Pass Visitor Center (including Highline Trail & Hidden Lake Overlook).

Hidden Lake Overlook can be hiked in 1.5 hours. To hike all the way down to the lake takes about 3.5 hours (with a lot of elevation change!)

Highline Trail can take up to 8 hours.

If you need more than 3 hours at Logan Pass you will need to make a shuttle reservation. They're reservable 60 days in advance, or the night before.

However, shuttle reservations are EXTREMELY hard to get so I recommend having a backup plan (alternate hikes).

While there are a few roadside pull-offs near Logan Pass, these now have a 30-minute parking limit and cannot be used as an alternative to the Logan Pass parking restrictions.
