If you're staying at the Many Glacier Hotel and need to make your way to Kalispell for a 1:30 pm flight, the drive should be manageable, but it's important to consider the time and distance involved. The drive from Many Glacier to Kalispell is around 2 hours, so here are a few options to ensure you get to the airport on time:
- By Car: The most flexible and common option is to rent a car or drive yourself. The route from Many Glacier to Kalispell is approximately 90 miles via US-2 W and MT-35 S. Depending on road conditions, this typically takes around 2 hours. Be sure to leave with enough time to account for potential traffic, weather, or last-minute delays. You would want to leave no later than 10:30 am to make your 1:30 pm flight.
- Private Shuttle or Taxi: If you're not driving, you can arrange a private shuttle or taxi from Many Glacier to Kalispell. Some companies in the area offer this service, but you'll need to book in advance. This option would be convenient but a bit more costly, likely in the range of $100 to $150 one-way. Ensure you confirm availability and schedule in advance.
- Hotel Shuttle: If Many Glacier Hotel offers a shuttle service (which you may need to inquire about), this could be a good option, as they may have scheduled trips to the airport. Check with the hotel ahead of time to see if this is an available service, and how much time you need to allow for the trip.
- Public Transit (less recommended): While there may be some bus options from the park to Kalispell, this would not be a reliable or convenient option for a flight. Public transit would require additional time and may not provide a direct route. It is better to plan for a more direct option like a car rental or shuttle service.
In summary, driving yourself or arranging for a shuttle would be the most direct and reliable methods to get to the airport on time. Be sure to leave early enough to allow for unexpected delays and to ensure you arrive at the airport with plenty of time before your flight.
