Are there buses to the ski hills? Use these Traveler Services to show up prepared, informed and practically passing for a local. GETTING HERE It’s easiest to explore Montana by car, so if you aren’t already driving here, make plans to rent a vehicle once you arrive. Fly into larger towns or roll in aboard Amtrak’s Empire Builder (traversing the northern half of the state), then drive a rental from wherever you land. If you plan on hitting backroads and gravel, or even just iffy weather, upgrade to four-wheel-drive for more traction. A high-clearance vehicle is necessary only for a few limited remote destinations like well-off-the-beaten-path trailheads.

You can also tour the state via commercial bus lines, which travel to major cities and some smaller towns, or join private bus tours.
