Pick some places you'd like to visit and then see if they are far enough

Oshkosh, straight line and then come back by a different route. There
are good restaurants on/near many airports. But there also are other
attractions. West Yellowstone is a gateway to Yellowstone National Park,
Glacier National Park, don't miss an adventure because it is a few miles
further away.


Uh, don't fly to WYS and think it's a gateway to Glacier. You're an eight
hour drive from Glacier when you leave the parking lot at WYS. If you're
going to Glacier you want Kalispell City or Kalispell on the west side or
Cut Bank on the east side.

Kalispell's Glacier Intl?

Thanks for the note on the eastern side. How accessible is the park from Cut
Bank? Kalispell is closer, but Cut Bank seems to be easier approaches and
cheaper fuel. Correct?
