Common Visitor Questions
When should we book our lodging?
Book early, popular summer dates go fast. Many people book their lodging 9 to 12 months ahead of June and July stays. Try to book by the end of January if possible.
When is the best time to visit?
Some will argue that it's always a great time to visit the Bitterroot Valley!
Having said that, mid-June through early September combines our most pleasant weather with the most recreational opportunities, activities, and events of the year.
Do we need to rent a car?
Yes, you'll need a vehicle. There's lots of driving to see all that the Bitterroot Valley has to offer.
Any vehicle is fine during the summer months, but winter can be a different story. All wheel drive with winter tires is a good idea from November through April.

Most people fly into Missoula, MT (MSO). Other popular options include Spokane, WA (GEG) and Bozeman, MT (BZN), each about a 4 hour drive from the Bitterroot Valley.
Hamilton, MT also hosts a small FBO. Our Bitterroot Valley Map and Directions article has more info.
