Getting there
Billings International Airport is the air hub, while Bozeman, Great Falls, Helena, Kalispell and Missoula also have airports, with regular flights to the likes of Denver, Salt Lake and Minneapolis. Amtrak serves Montana on its Chicago-Seattle line, stopping at Wolf Point, Havre, Shelby, Whitefish and Libby; while Greyhound, Rimrock Trailways and Powder River Transportation provide bus services state-wide.
Three interstate highways converge on Montana. I-94 and I-90 meet before Billings from the east and continue west to Seattle as the I-90. I-15 runs south from Alberta (Canada) through Great Falls, Helena and Butte, where it intersects with the east-west I-90.
Safety
Although driving across Montana is relatively safe and hassle-free, driving long distances places the traveller at a greater risk of having an accident. Always try to park your car off city streets at night. Pickpockets are not uncommon in the larger cities and water sports are also a potential hazard. We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance for you and your family.
Weather in Montana
