Getting Married in Glacier National Park?!
What time of year should I get married in Glacier National Park?
July-August: This is the "high" season. Going to the sun road is fully open and it's busy with people. Don't let that scare you away though. We think the best time of day is sunrise (if you're brave) or a few hours before sunset which could be as late as 10pm
September-October: This is our favorite time of year. The leaves are changing color and the air is crisp. There is snow on the peaks and everything is starting to calm down. The road could close closer to mid October depending on weather.
November-April: This is the "slow" season yet it's amazingly beautiful. When we first visited GNP it was in November and we fell in LOVE! It's calm and quiet. The snow covered mountains are amazing. Just be prepared for cold weather!
May-June:This time of year is slower only because the going to the sun road isn't open yet. It typically opens the third week of June. It's a beautiful time of year with snow capped mountains and the green and flowers starting to come alive!
