Guests Driving:
Plan to stay in Big Timber the night before your hunting, fishing or pack trip begins. Big Timber is right off Interstate 90 half way between Bozeman and Billings. We recommend either The Grand Hotel (www.thegrand-hotel.com) or the Super 8 Motel. The Grand Hotel Bed and Breakfast is a charming and beautifully renovated historical hotel in downtown Big Timber. The hotel serves a delicious full breakfast. The Super 8 Motel has comfortable rooms with small refrigerators and serves a light breakfast. For a heartier breakfast, the Country Skillet is across the street from the Super 8 and opens for breakfast at 6:00 AM. The morning of your departure an ABO representative will meet you at your hotel at 7 AM to transport you to the trailhead. Please check in with ABO upon arrival (406) 579-3866 for confirmation of morning departure time.

Check out Montana Travel (1-800-247-3538) or (info@mttravel.com) for some of the best air fares available. Remember, Bozeman is on Mountain Time so keep that in mind when making your travel arrangements.

We recommend the Wingate Inn (406-582-4995). They provide shuttle service from the airport to the hotel. The Inn has a breakfast bar that opens at 5:30 each morning, comfortable rooms, pool and exercise facility. For reduced rates refer to our VIP CODE (ABO) when making reservations. Make your reservations early. The summer is a busy time for tourists while the fall is filled with college related activities.

The Wingate Inn is our designated assembly point. The morning of your departure an ABO representative will meet you at 6 AM to transport you to the trailhead. Please check in with ABO upon arrival (406) 579-3866 for confirmation of morning departure time.

Bozeman is a delightful old western town with great restaurants, wonderful art galleries, the Museum of the Rockies and many other fun places to visit. If you can make the time, come a day or two early or stay over a day after your ABO trip to enjoy some of what Bozeman has to offer.
