One of the most unique ways to take in the amazing scenery offered
by a ride through Glacier National Park is to ditch the car and ride
in one of Glacier's vintage Red Busses. Originally built in the
1930's, the busses with their 'roll-back' canvas tops have become an
icon of Glacier National Park. In the late 1990's Ford recalled the
busses, overhauled and restored them to their prior splendor, and
converted them to natural gas power. Bus Tours are a great way
for visitors to take in the scenery and avoid the 'white knuckle'
driving that the winding Going to the Sun Road can easily inspire; it
is also the only way for visitors who arrive in a vehicle longer than
21 feet to access interior portions of the Going to the Sun Road as it
crosses the Continental Divide.
