Glacier National Park welcomed a record number of visitors in September, according to visitation data released by the National Park Service last week.
More than 600,000 visitors passed through one of Glacier’s entrances during September, nearly 50,000 more than in 2023. So far in 2024, 3,001,595 people have visited the park, just the third time that number has eclipsed 3 million and a 9% increase over last year.
The boost in recreation visits followed the end of the vehicle reservation system that manages access to the popular destination and was in place until Labor Day Weekend.
