How Far Is Yellowstone National Park to Glacier National Park

If you're planning a trip to the Northern Rockies, there’s a good chance you're looking at both Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park. These two iconic destinations are among the most scenic in the United States—offering everything from erupting geysers to towering alpine peaks. But here’s the big question:

How far apart are they, and how do you get from one to the other?

How Far Is Yellowstone National Park to Glacier National Park

The road distance between Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park is about 370 to 400 miles, depending on your exact start and end points. If you’re traveling from the North Entrance of Yellowstone (Gardiner, Montana) to the West Glacier entrance of Glacier National Park, the drive typically takes 6.5 to 7.5 hours without long stops.

You can expect to travel through a mix of highways and scenic rural roads, passing through towns like Livingston, Helena, and Great Falls—or take the more direct but slightly less scenic route via US-89 and US-287. Either way, this drive showcases the raw beauty of Montana: expansive prairies, winding rivers, mountain views, and wildlife around every bend.
