“Logan Pass sits at 6,646 feet, the high point of Going-to-the-Sun Road and the only place the road crosses the Continental Divide. Snow lingers into July. Marmots whistle from the rocks above the boardwalk to Hidden Lake. The visitor centre opens late, closes early, and most afternoons the lot is full by ten. The hours that hold are the first and the last. — from the studio

— about Going-to-the-Sun Road at Logan Pass

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

Logan Pass is the 6,646-foot saddle where Going-to-the-Sun Road crosses the Continental Divide in Glacier National Park. The pass is named for William R. Logan, the park's first superintendent. Two trailheads leave directly from the visitor centre parking lot: the Hidden Lake boardwalk, which climbs a mile and a half to an overlook above Hidden Lake, and the Highline Trail, which contours north along the Garden Wall toward Granite Park Chalet. Snow on the pass typically does not melt out until late June or early July.

— the air

At 6,646 feet, Logan Pass sits high enough that summer afternoons can turn cold within minutes when a front comes through. Snowfields above the boardwalk often persist into August. Mountain goats and bighorn sheep cross the trails at close range, particularly near the Hidden Lake overlook, and grizzlies use the meadows below Clements Mountain in late summer when the huckleberries ripen. Carry a layer that blocks wind. Park rangers post the daily wildlife and weather notices on a board outside the visitor centre.

— informed by NPS — Logan Pass
— the visit

The visitor centre at Logan Pass opens in mid-June and closes in mid-September, depending on snow. Going-to-the-Sun Road requires a timed vehicle reservation during peak daylight hours from late May through September. The lot fills early; most regulars arrive before seven or wait until the late afternoon shuttles thin the crowd. The free park shuttle stops at the pass and connects to Apgar, Avalanche, and Saint Mary, which lets visitors hike the Highline one-way to Logan Pass or down to The Loop.

A few questions we get about Going-to-the-Sun Road at Logan Pass — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

Logan Pass sits at 6,646 feet, the highest point reached by Going-to-the-Sun Road and the only place the road crosses the Continental Divide in Glacier National Park.

The pass usually opens to vehicles in late June or early July, once plows finish clearing snow from the upper road. The full road typically closes in mid-October when snow returns.

Two trails leave from the parking lot: the Hidden Lake boardwalk, a one-and-a-half-mile climb to the overlook, and the Highline Trail, which contours along the Garden Wall toward Granite Park Chalet.

Yes. From late May through September, Going-to-the-Sun Road requires a timed vehicle reservation during peak daylight hours. Reservations are released in advance on Recreation.gov.

Mountain goats and bighorn sheep regularly cross the trails near the visitor centre. Grizzlies use the meadows below Clements Mountain in late summer when the huckleberry crop ripens.

The pass is named for William R. Logan, the first superintendent of Glacier National Park. He served from the park's establishment in 1910 until 1912.

— about the piece in your home

Logan Pass is the starting line for the park's two most-walked alpine trails. A tile of the pass reads as a marker for anyone who has stood on the Hidden Lake boardwalk.

Mountain-modern, alpine modern, and warm minimalist rooms. The cooler blues and stone tones of the pass sit well against oiled walnut, raw wool, and unfinished pine.

Yes. The alpine-modern look continues to draw on Glacier and the northern Rockies. A single Large or a four-tile Mural anchors the wall without leaning rustic-cabin.

Above a standard sofa, a single Large reads as the focal piece. For a wider wall, a four-tile Mural or a nine-tile Mural fills the field. Above a console, a Medium is usually right.

Yes. Order the Dura Satin or Matte finish for any room with steam or splash. Both are scratch-resistant and rated for vertical installation on backsplashes and shower walls.

A dry or barely damp microfibre cloth is enough for the Glossy finish. For Dura Satin and Matte tiles in working rooms, the same cloth with plain water handles everyday residue.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is made by our single studio in Knoxville, Tennessee. We do not license the artwork to third parties or print it through other shops.
