A scenic hairpin turn and major trailhead in Glacier National Park.

Siyeh Bend
Directions

Siyeh Bend is a famous hairpin turn located along Glacier National Park's Going-to-the-Sun Road east of Logan Pass. It serves as a major starting point for high-alpine hikes like the Siyeh Pass Trail and Piegan Pass Trail. Visitors can enjoy scenic views of Siyeh Creek, lush alpine meadows, and dramatic surrounding peaks directly from the roadside turnout.

Quick tip: Arrive early in the morning to secure limited turnout parking, or take the park shuttle directly to the trailhead.
