2024 Map of Rising Sun

About this map

Saint Mary Lake dominates the central landscape of this territory within Glacier National Park, providing a dramatic backdrop for the historic Rising Sun settlement. The map traces the engineering of the Going-to-the-Sun Road as it skirts the northern shore, connecting prominent landmarks like Sun Point and the narrow passage at The Narrows. This corridor represents a vital link in the park's early 20th-century development, where the road was designed to integrate seamlessly with the natural features of Sunrift Gorge and the surrounding peaks.
