About Montana
Known for
Glacier National Park’s alpine scenery and vast, sparsely populated ‘Big Sky’ landscapes.
Best time to visit
June-September, when mountain roads (including Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road) are fully open -- winters (December-February) are long and snowy.
Getting around
A car is essential -- distances are large and public transit is minimal to nonexistent between towns.
Suggested trip length
4-5 days for Glacier National Park.
