Eye Candy: Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park
Looking for one of the best cycling roads in the world? Check out the famous Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park .
Gotta say, it was one of the most scenic rides that I've ever done. The picture above sums it up: rivers, peaks, valleys, glaciers and a curving road hugging a cliff edge. A-maz-ing.
We rode this as part of our U.S. bike tour in 2014. It connects the west and east sides of the park via Logan Pass and a leg-pounding 11 miles of climbing up a steep grade from 3,000 to almost 7,000' elevation.
A few more shots below! If you'd like to see a video of cycling this road, check out a ride I did in October 2015 with my dad.
