Explore Montana

Explore Montana’s natural wonders with tours of Glacier and Yellowstone. Discover stunning landscapes, wildlife, & historic sites. Book your Montana adventure!

Known as Big Sky Country, Southwest Adventure Tours sees Montana as big adventure country. The skies in Montana seem so big because the state is so sparsely populated and free of tall buildings that, in some places, one can seemingly see forever.

Unparalleled in beauty and wonder that defines the West, Montana has captured the hearts of visitors since Lewis and Clark traveled up the Missouri River, and President Teddy Roosevelt visited Yellowstone National Park. Our tour offerings in Montana include Glacier National Park and, although mostly in Wyoming, Yellowstone National Park that teeters on the state border.

Montana also offers a wide array of different animal species that our tours can help you find. Numerous gold and silver rushes occurred, leaving Montana riddled with old mining towns and ruins and the interesting history that goes along with them.

Whatever your interest is with the wilds of Montana, we can set you up with one of our standard tours or adapt a tour to feed those interests by visiting the destinations you want to see.

Planning a trip to Explore Montana

Montana’s draw is at the two ends of the state. Glacier National Park is in the north-west against the Canadian border; Yellowstone’s northern and western entrances are in the south, at Gardiner and West Yellowstone.

They are about six hours apart, so an itinerary taking in both is a driving trip rather than a base-and-day-trip one — which is what the multi-day routes here are built around.

Gardiner is the only Yellowstone entrance open to cars all winter, which makes the north of the park reachable in February when almost none of the rest of it is.

The season is short at altitude. Snow lies on the high passes into June, and the first storms come back through in October.
