Any suggestions for routes from Austin to Montana?

Lisa,
What time of Year? How many weeks do you have? Is your Passport current? Are you planning to Camp or Hotel it? What's the furthest you want to drive in a day? To really experence Glacier and area needs 4 or 5 days by itself...

Lisa - here's a thought. West out of Texas, into New Mexico, North through Colorado into Wyoming, Northwesternly to the Entrance a West Glacier: Austin to West Glacier

I concur on Lake Meredith as a stopping point. the campgrounds are nice, and free to boot.

Rick,
If, and only if - she want's to see the whole park, a portian of it is in Canada, and you have to have a passport to get back into the states. The Waterton Lake N.P. is part of the International Peace Park World Heritage Site. It's worth the trip. As is Many Glaciers. DG
