Airports

Glacier Park International Airport, near Kalispell and about 30 miles from the park's west entrance, serves Northwest Montana's air transportation needs. Several regional air carriers provide connections to destinations around the western United States, including major hubs for world travel.

Ground Transportation

One of the most unique ways to take in the amazing scenery offered by a ride through Glacier National Park is to ditch the car and ride in one of Glacier's vintage Red Busses. Originally built in the 1930's, the busses with their 'roll-back' canvas tops have become an icon of Glacier National Park. In the late 1990's Ford recalled the busses, overhauled and restored them to their prior splendor, and converted them to natural gas power.

Bus Tours are a great way for visitors to take in the scenery and avoid the 'white knuckle' driving that the winding Going to the Sun Road can easily inspire; it is also the only way for visitors who arrive in a vehicle longer than 21 feet to access interior portions of the Going to the Sun Road as it crosses the Continental Divide.
