Rental Car
We will not be able to provide transportation to and from venue, which is an hour's drive from the town of Choteau If you are renting a car, select a vehicle with 4WD or AWD. While we are hoping for pleasant weather, snow is not out of the realm of possibility. This venue is accessed via an unpaved mountain road Parking is free at the ski area This is a rural area so do not plan to rely on Uber or Lyft
Flight
We recommend flying into Great Falls, which is an hour's drive from Choteau You could also fly into Missoula, Kalispell, or Bozeman—these towns are all further away but they are great destinations with lots to offer. If you plan to make a long weekend out of it, we are happy to advise! For those coming from outside driving range, we know that travel to and from rural Montana is time-consuming and expensive. While we would love to celebrate with you, please do not feel any pressure to attend if you live out of state—we will feel your love from afar and hope to see you soon
