When is the best time to go to Lewis & Clark?

The best time to go to Lewis & Clark is during the summer months, from June to August, or in the shoulder seasons of late spring (May) and early autumn (September). Summer offers the warmest weather and the longest daylight hours, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the area. All outdoor activities, such as hiking, fishing, and boating on Canyon Ferry Lake, are fully accessible. The average daytime temperatures are comfortably warm, typically ranging from 20°C to 28°C. This is also when most local visitor centres and attractions operate at their fullest capacity. For those who prefer slightly cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, late spring and early autumn are excellent choices. In May, the landscapes are lush and green, and wildflowers begin to bloom. September brings crisp air and stunning autumnal colours to the forests, creating a beautiful backdrop for outdoor adventures.

Brooks Street Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"The Brooks Street Motel is an older property with that 70’s feel. I’ve enjoyed staying here for the last 12 years. It’s clean and the staff are so nice and helpful. This is an affordable place to stay and I always sleep good!"

LivAway Suites- Missoula

8/10 Good

"Nice to stay in a nice new hotel. Over all had a nice stay. Very minimal, just linens and a bar of soap and shampoo. No coffee in the room. Thankfully I brought my blow dryer and didn't need an iron. I suspect you can request items you need, not sure, and for an extra charge some dishes. Large building being constructed on the north side, so no views and because we were there on the weekend construction workers were gone. So ask for a room on the southern side during the week. The fan in the bathroom constantly cycles on and off, and can still hear with the door closed, so that was a little bothersome. Nice location near lots of shopping and close to hwy and train tracks. Couldn't really hear the train when it passed threw though."
