Glacier National Park officials announced that shuttle service will be paused on July 25 for one day due to the unexpected passing of one of the shuttle drivers.

The shuttle service is contracted through LC Staffing.

 “On Sunday morning, one of our most faithful shuttle drivers unexpectedly passed. We are all grieving this great loss and express our sincere condolences to the friends, family, and community he served. He worked seasonally for LC Staffing since 2018, also working as a school bus driver since 2008, and he served in the military.  Our driver was well liked, committed to his profession, and we are truly honored to have worked with him,” the company said.

In order to allow for a day of memoriam, the shuttle system will not operate on Monday, July 25. Shuttle service will resume on Tuesday, July 26.  

Visitors expecting to be picked up by a shuttle after hiking out of trails such as Highline Trail, will not have access to shuttle pick up on July 25. Please plan accordingly.
