You have to have a ticket to drive the road. It's probably a really good idea. When we were there in 2016, we drove it across east-->west and were only able to get into a few viewpoints, and one of them was not Logan Pass VC. We got to Apgar Village, waited an hour or two, then started back going west-->east (instead of returning via US-2). By this time, we could get into most viewpoints including LPVC, but were only able to do one of the short trails we wanted to do.

Looking at opening dates, the road to the sun is unlikely to open before June 15th. Since I have been to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons, RMNP, to Banf, I am not sure Glacier National Park would be worth it without driving the Sun road.

I so want to leave in May if possible, at the latest on June 3rd.

In any case, I have some decisions to make..
