Going-to-the-Sun Road

Going-to-the-Sun Road crosses 80 km of Glacier National Park, cut into the cliff face as it climbs to Logan Pass on the Continental Divide. We draw it from real map data, matched to the road itself. The preview on screen is the finished poster, and it ships straight away.

Make it yours: 17 art styles, 19 colourways and your own title, with the poster redrawing live as you pick.

Giclée-printed at 300 dpi on 200 gsm matte art paper. Framed posters come in black, white or natural timber, ready to hang.

The route

The road climbs from Lake McDonald up the side of the valley to Logan Pass, 2,026 m up on the Continental Divide, cut directly into the rock of the Garden Wall rather than routed around it. Crews built it between 1921 and 1932, the first road the National Park Service designed specifically for cars rather than wagons, and it became a National Historic Landmark in 1997 in recognition of the engineering.

Snow closes the high section every winter, and clearing it each spring can take ten weeks, since crews sometimes gain under 200 m a day against the Big Drift, a snowbank near Logan Pass that can run 24 m deep; the road often does not fully reopen until late June. Vehicles over 6.4 m long or 2.4 m wide are barred from the middle section altogether, since the road was never built wide enough for anything larger.

Made for someone who drove it. Or for your own wall, because you did.
