Detail map of the Saint Mary area in Glacier National Park in Montana. Stretching diagonally through the center of the map from the northwest corner to the southeast edge, a thick sage green line marks the park boundary.

Extended Description

Shown in pale green, a wedge of the park occupies the southwestern corner of the region with the northern tip of Saint Mary Lake jutting through the center. Shown in beige, a wedge of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation covers the northeastern half of the map outside the park. A thread of sky blue extends from Saint Mary Lake, running northeast outside the park boundary, and forking as it merges with Lower Saint Mary Lake on the reservation.

Brown lines dotted with sites mark roads that weave across the map area. Beginning in the southwest and traveling west, Going-to-the-Sun Road runs northeast along the rim of Saint Mary Lake with text at the southern terminus that reads, “To Logan Pass.” As the road curves around the northern end of the Lake, a coil of looping roads locates St. Mary Campground with restrooms and an amphitheater. From here, brackets frame a dashed trail that crosses the tributary before heading southeast along the road.

Continuing on Going-to-the-Sun Road, it crosses the tributary parallel to the trail, then passes a spur where St. Mary Visitor Center with restrooms, bookstore/gift shop, and shuttle bus stop is marked by a black square. Opposite the visitor center, a black dot shows the entrance station.

As the road proceeds southeast, a branch to the south ends at a dot labeled, “1913 Ranger Station,” just before a forking trail. Just beyond that, the road exits the park as it approaches a black square marking St. Mary Village, which has fuel and food service.

At this point, Going-to-the-Sun Road ends at an intersection with US Route 89, which runs north to Babb and Waterton Lakes National Park and south to East Glacier and Browning. Near the center of the route, a road branches to the east and veers north to a private campground near Lower Saint Mary Lake.
