Winter Travel Tips
Montana keeps highways open throughout the winter, but travelers can face tough conditions at times. Check these tips to keep your winter vacation both enjoyable and safe.
Current Fire Conditions
Summer is fire season in the West. Wildland fires are a part of the natural order, helping forests regenerate by returning nutrients to the soil and clearing undergrowth. It is safe to visit Montana's public and wild lands during fire season. Typically, the impact of fires is very local and leaves much of Montana’s 94 million acres open for public recreation and use.

Montana has a 75-mile an hour speed limit on interstates and a 70-mile an hour speed limit on secondary roads unless otherwise posted. You can also be issued a speeding ticket if law enforcement officers believe you're traveling faster than is "reasonable and prudent." Be sure to check road conditions ahead of time during the winter months.
