Going-to-the-Sun Road is a scenic mountain road in the Rocky Mountains of the western United States, in Glacier National Park in Montana. The Sun Road, as it is sometimes abbreviated in National Park Service documents, is the only road that traverses the park, crossing the Continental Divide through Logan Pass at an elevation of 6,646 feet (2,026 m), which is the highest point on the road. Construction began in 1921 and was completed in 1932 with formal dedication in the following summer on July 15, 1933. Prior to the construction of the road, visitors would need to spend several days traveling through the central part of the park, an area which can now be traversed within a few hours, excluding any stops for sightseeing or construction.

  • Going-to-the-Sun Road est la principale route qui traverse le parc national de Glacier dans le Montana aux États-Unis. La route qui s’enfonce au cœur du parc fut ouverte en 1932. Elle est la seule route qui traverse le parc d’un bout à l’autre. Elle franchit le Continental Divide au niveau du col Logan. Une flotte de bus rouges des années 1930 rénovés en 2001 afin de fonctionner au gaz de pétrole liquéfié permet de faire des excursions à travers le parc. La route, payante, qui est un National Historic Landmark, a une longueur d’environ 80 km. Elle est ouverte de mi-juin à fin septembre, la date exacte variant annuellement selon les conditions météorologiques. (fr)
