Peak Season: A state for outdoor enthusiasts, most visitors book Montana flights and accommodationsin July and August. The major parks are busy March to September, and the state puts on festivals, rodeos, and pow-wows in summer. Glacial National Park’s more popular trails are crowded in summer, and there are size restrictions on vehicles traveling Going-to-the-Sun Road. Campgrounds fill up by late morning during July and August, and rooms need to be reserved in advance. The Little Bighorn Days festival is held on the weekend closest to June 25, and Butte hosts the biggest St. Patrick’s Day celebration in the Rockies. Winter is the second peak season with its deep powder drawing snowboarders and skiers, both downhill and Nordic. Off Season: Except for the ski areas, winter is the off season. Budget-travelers who are willing to brave the cold can find cheap flights to Montana during the winter months.

As the fourth largest U.S. state, the regional airports offer Montana flights to in-state destinations. Buses traverse the state along I-90 and north to south along I-15, and there are train stops at either side of Glacier National Park. The Big Sky state, though, is best explored by car. The roads are well maintained, but rent according to when and where you will be driving. Some destinations require driving gravel and dirt roads, and in the more remote locations tow trucks are rare. Montana’s speed limits are liberal, but strictly enforced. In winter, some highways may be open only to four-wheel drive vehicles or those with snow tires or chains. Always carry sleeping bags, extra food, flashlights, and other safety gear to ensure your survival if the car breaks down or you get caught in a blizzard.
