Planning a trip to Western Montana should feel welcoming and achievable for every traveler. This page is designed to help visitors with disabilities navigate the logistics of exploring Glacier Country—from arriving in the region to getting around our communities and finding accessible places to stay.
Missoula Montana Airport also features a Sensory Room for guests with hidden disabilities, designed to provide a quiet, low-stimulation environment for individuals who may feel overwhelmed in busy airport settings. The room supports passengers with autism, anxiety, PTSD, sensory processing disorders and other hidden disabilities
Both Glacier Park International Airport (FCA) and Missoula Montana Airport (MSO) offer accessible services, and Amtrak stations in Whitefish and East Glacier Park provide accessible boarding. In Missoula, free public bus transportation includes routes to and from the airport as well as service throughout town. Travel within other communities may present additional challenges, so advance planning is recommended.
If you’re looking for accessible lodging, go to our “all lodging” page, and under the “Filter by amenities,” dropdown, select “Accessible” to view properties that meet your needs.
