When Is the Best Time to E-Bike Going-to-the-Sun Road?
Riding an e-bike up Going-to-the-Sun Road is one of the most unforgettable ways to experience Glacier National Park. With towering peaks, glacial waterfalls, and alpine meadows stretching for miles, it’s a ride that blends peaceful solitude with epic scenery.
So, when’s the best time to do it?
While you really can’t go wrong with May or June, our top recommendation is early June—and here’s why.
🌼 Why Early June is the Best Time to E-Bike Going-to-the-Sun Road
In early June, the road is typically plowed and open to Logan Pass for bikes but still closed to cars beyond Avalanche. That means you get the road nearly all to yourself—just you, the sound of waterfalls, and the occasional bighorn sheep.
The timing is perfect:
Wildflowers are blooming at lower elevations
Snow still blankets the peaks, creating an unbelievable contrast
Wildlife is active, and the temps are just right

🗓️ Don’t Miss the Magic Window
This car-free biking opportunity only lasts a couple of weeks before the road opens to vehicle traffic. Once it does, the peaceful ride becomes a lot busier. Early June is your chance to see Glacier in its quietest, most photogenic form.
