2017 Map of Rising Sun

About this map

Rising Sun serves as a primary access point to the high alpine interior of Glacier National Park along the shores of Saint Mary Lake. The landscape is dominated by massive peaks such as Goat Mtn, Red Eagle Mtn, and Little Chief Mtn, separated by deep glacial troughs and high mountain passes like Siyeh Pass and Piegan Pass. This modern survey details the vital transportation corridor of the Going-to-the-Sun Road, which clings to the northern banks of the lake and provides access to Going-to-the-Sun Point and the Baring Creek Bridge.
