Anaconda is right in the middle of Missoula and Bozeman airports:
- Missoula - 101 mi - 1 hr 25 min to Anaconda
- Bozeman - 107 mi - 1 hr 35 min to Anaconda
- Helena - 76 mi - 1 hr 10 min to Anaconda
Helena is a smaller airport but it's worth checking out!
If you want to make a fun, adventure-packed trip out to Montana, feel free to reach out to me and I can give you recommendations for things to do around Anaconda, Missoula, Bozeman, or Helena.
Some things to note:
- Yellowstone National Park is 1 hr 45 min from Bozeman
- Grand Teton National Park is 3 hr 40 min from Bozeman
- Glacier National Park is 2 hr 30 min from Missoula
- Flathead Lake is 1 hr 15 min from Missoula
100% recommend renting a car. Montana is very spread out and will require a good amount of driving to get just about anywhere! Luckily, the drives are BEAUTIFUL so they really don't feel that long ;)
Ubers are available around the larger cities; Bozeman, Missoula, and Helena. I can't promise you'll be able to find an Uber in Anaconda.
There's a large parking lot, but I recommend carpooling to the wedding venue to minimize drivers.
After the reception, we'll have a few designated drivers that can drive you back to your hotel/airbnb, if needed.
