Things to do in Montana

Glacier National Park

Hike through stunning unspoiled landscapes, get up close and personal with massive glaciers, and discover a world of unusual wildlife, such as the majestic elk or adorable pikas. If you’re lucky, your Montana holiday might even involve seeing rare animals like the lynx and mountain lion.

Yellowstone River

The Yellowstone River is a tributary of the Missouri River and is widely regarded as one of the best trout streams in the world, so you’ll definitely want to try your hand at fly-fishing here! Adrenaline-fuelled rafting or a relaxing stroll along the scenic riverbanks are also worth doing on your trip.

Big Sky Resort

Make your Montana holiday unforgettable by visiting the breathtaking Big Sky Resort, where you can experience world-class skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and zip-lining.

Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park

As stunning as Montana is on the surface, you won’t want to miss the opportunity to explore underground treasures such as the limestone caves at the Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park.

Custer’s Last Stand

Looking for some history on your holiday to Montana? Visit the Little Bighorn Battlefield to learn about the historic clash between the native tribes and the US cavalry, which took place against the dramatic backdrop of Montana’s ridges and ravines.

FAQs on Montana

  • What’s the best time of year for holidays in Montana?

    The best time to go on a holiday to Montana largely depends on the activities you’re interested in. If you plan on hiking, wildlife watching, and exploring the natural parks, spring is the best time while the weather is still mild. 

    Summers in Montana usually reach around 28 degrees, creating the perfect conditions for camping, fishing, and water sports.

    Finally, for winter sports enthusiasts, Montana transforms into a snowy paradise from December to March. This season is perfect for skiing and snowboarding, especially at popular ski resorts such as the Big Sky and Whitefish Mountain Resort.

  • What’s the best way to get around Montana?

    Navigating Montana requires some planning due to its vast size and relatively sparse public transportation network. Renting a car is the most flexible and convenient way to travel across the state. It allows you to explore at your own pace and access remote areas off the beaten path that public transport can’t reach.

     

  • How long should I spend on holiday in Montana?

    The ideal duration for a holiday in Montana varies based on your interests and the breadth of activities you plan to enjoy. Generally, a stay of 5-7 days is recommended to appreciate the state’s diverse offerings. This time frame allows for visits to famous landmarks like Glacier National Park and Yellowstone, as well as time to explore Montana’s charming small towns and local culture.
