RED BUS JAMMERS OF Glacier National Park

RED BUS "JAMMERS" OF
Glacier National Park

LETS RIDE THE BUS TOGETHER

What could be more fun, than to climb into one of these big red Glacier Park busses, and travel from one side of the Park to the other? There is lots of room, in this 25 foot bus, with seating for 17 passengers. We will all be new friends in no time. The trip will take us along the "Going-To-The-Sun-Road", and North to Canada's Waterton Lakes National Park. We will see many historic lodges and Inns along the way.
Bring along your camera, because we will see scenery to take your breath away, as well as wildlife in abundance throughout this protected area. It will be a real adventure to ride in one of these historic symbols of Glacier National Park. There is even a canvas top that can be rolled back.

There was an entire fleet of 33 busses built for the Park back in 1936 to 1939. The busses of today are basically the same busses, having been completely renovated and restored.
All are safety inspected for tourist travel. The
renovation was done in 1989 at a cost of over 800,000 dollars. The style and shape was kept the same, to make us feel as if we were riding in the style and grace of the 30s.

These wonderful old busses were built by the White Motor Company in Cleveland Ohio. They were painted Mountain Ash Berry Red. And are still kept that color today. This company built 500 of these busses, just for our western
National Parks, including Bryce Canyon, Glacier, Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountain, Mt. Rainier, Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Zion National Parks.
Most of the other parks did not renovate or restore their
busses and they were retired from service in the 1950s. Some of the older residents of Montana, still call them "Jammers" because when they were first used, they had standard transmissions, and the drivers could be heard "jammin" the gears up and down the mountain roads.
What a thrill to ride across the Continental Divide. in one of these big red open air busses.

Come on, Lets go for a ride !
