Going to the Sun Road - Size Limit?
After traversing the Going to the Sun Road in Glacier in a car, I wonder how hair-raising it would be for me in our TC. I have a 22 foot F350 with an 11.5 feet tall clearance with camper, and I don't ...

Bad idea! I did it in 2013 in a B Touring Cruiser (mh)22' long,11'5" high and 9+ feet wide at the mirrors. During the initial ascent,from west to east,we were a little disappointed in the views because we had seen better in the Canadian Rockies. Then we took a tight right turn and really started up. I suddenly realized where the term "white knuckle driving" originated. It happens when your bones actually pop through the skin. I don't recall how many times I had to fold my mirrors in for approaching vans and pickups,but I can still hear the shrieks from my nagivator...something about edges and drops and death. It was hard to hear over the drivers screams. I can tell you that the views are breath-taking,but only because I've seen photos. It's hard to appreciate the view through tears.
Since then I've driven on much worse roads (Moki Dugway,Devils Backbone ,etc),but with far less traffic and no milling crowds of tourists,a third of whom feel the necessity to walk backwards while staring at a view finder. I now drive a TC and feel generally much more secure and in control.
