Things to do / Travel Guide
The weather is changeable in northern Montana and Idaho, but it usually sticks within the realm of cold to colder. Snowfall and cold temperatures are possible, and indeed common, in every month of the year in this wet region. The lengthy winter is prime time, however, for active visitors who will revel in exploring the great outdoors in snowshoes. The somewhat warmer fall months are also good times for visiting if you're interested in seeing colorful foliage in places like Glacier National Park. Avid hikers and outdoorsmen should note that access to Glacier National Park is generally somewhat more limited by icy weather conditions in the shoulder seasons of spring and fall, while it is almost always open without fail during the summers.
Abundant and heavy snowfall and cold temperatures are common throughout the long winters. Springs are warmer though still comparatively mild due to the Chinook winds coming in from the west. Temperatures in the evenings and early mornings are still quite nippy. Summers, in contrast, have warm, windy weather during the day with common violent thunderstorms in the afternoons and cooler temperatures at night. Falls have ample good, but cool weather and feature occasional snow.
