Does anyone know what changed about driving across the border from Alberta into Montana? Is the main road that everyone used closed now? If it’s closed, what other routes are available to drive into Montana from Alberta?
Just a bit confused about what’s actually different now since July 1st. Thanks!
I keep seeing conflicting things online and I would love to hear from people who have been thank you!
Hello Montana!
We are taking a trip from Yellowstone to Glacier in September. I'm wanting to leave Yellowstone in the late afternoon/evening and drive to Helena to stay. Then Helena to glacier the next day. It looks like Yellowstone to Helena is around 3 hours. Is it okay to leave around 6:00pm? Ive read wildlife can be tricky driving in the evening. Any suggestions for routes or times to leave would be greatly appreciated!
I’m planning on taking a 7 day trip to Bozeman to Jackson Hole and need a bit of help to make my itinerary. I’m thinking of taking the trip mid September. The plan is to fly into Bozeman and explore Montana for a couple of days and then head to Jackson Hole to explore for at least 3 days before heading back to Bozeman to fly back home. I’m still trying to figure out lodging so any advice would be helpful! I’m renting a car through Turo!
Some of the activities and places that are for sure on my list are:
•glacier national park
•Yellowstone national park
•The Old Saloon
•Grand Teton
These are some of the food places I heard were amazing but correct me if it’s not!
•Wild Crumb
•Mainstreet Overeasy
•Blackbird
•Plonk
•Cowboy Coffee co
•Persephone Bakery
•Local Restaurant and Bar
I am from Washington. This is a secondary account because my personal one has defining information about me. I had never been to Montana before because as a Pakistani, I’m always concerned about segregation about certain groups no matter where. I was at a festival over the weekend up in Kalispell. It was such an amazing experience from a festival-goer’s perspective! All the people were so welcoming and nice. It was beautiful up there. The food was great, the music was great, and most of the vendors were very cool. Given it was a festival, there are always going to be certain people who are too messed up and ruin it for everyone, but I didn’t see any of that unlike Washington. On Saturday night, a local dispensary had a tent outside, and the guy manning it was a total tool. He was consistently pressuring people to purchase stuff, tell them about a magazine he owned, and download something, and you could tell he had no clue what he was doing. The same company had a second tent indoors, and the people working there were awesome and extremely knowledgeable, and I wondered if they even knew this guy was outside in the rain or if they forced him out there because he was unbearable. That was probably the only uncomfortable experience my friends and I experienced. There was muttering around the festival grounds that people knew who he was and that he always acts like this and to just go to the tent inside if you want a good view of the company. You guys are totally rad, and I appreciate all the hospitality, and I can’t wait to be back. As a foreigner, it’s nice to be able to feel welcome in such a beautiful place.
Planning a bachelor party for my best friend. We’re not really trying to do the rent a “rent a cabin and have a chill weekend sort of thing”. More adrenaline and possible degeneracy. But also not trying to get completely out of hand and turn out like The Hangover. 12 people going. Ages range from 24-30. Looking into Western Montana possibly northern Nevada. The ideas of paintball, skydiving, bars, and zip lining have been thrown around. Any suggestions on locations or activities?
Hi everyone im planning to a 3 day trip with my 13 year old this august. Hopefully someone can recommend motel or hotel budget friendly and places that we can visit . Thank u
Is there a decent hotel in Lewistown, Montana? The Yogo Inn used to be where to stay, but the last time I stayed there, it was very rundown. I see there is a Super 8… Has anyone been inside? I typically avoid Super 8, but it’s slim-pickings!
Planning on driving from Eastern Washington to West Yellowstone in Mid July. The 10 + hour drive was too intimidating. We've booked a top in Butte to sleep for the night, stock up on snacks and then proceeded to West Yellowstone.
#1 What should we anticipate in Butte?
#2 How anxious should the primary driver be about Buffalo 🦬 / wildlife crossing 🚸 blocking the road and delaying entry to the park the following morning?
Hi! Hope you are all well!
I’ve been doing my own research but having a hard time finding things- which might just mean there’s not options, but I found this and wanted to ask!
I am going to Whitefish because my cousin is getting married in Glacier National Park. Which I am very excited for! But I also wanted to see if there was a good way to see horses (disability friendly, so probably not riding but somewhere that we would be able to see them!) and dinosaur museums while we are there.
I was just curious about the closest options for dinosaurs, the best I could find was about 2 hours away. And I found a couple options for seeing horses but wanted to ask if there was anywhere best recommended!
We might just have to make another trip exclusively for the dinosaur museums, because the dinosaur trail looks amazing!
Thank you in advance! Wish you the best!
