Flying into Bozeman? The airport, Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN), is actually in Belgrade, a small town in the Gallatin Valley just outside Bozeman. Staying in Belgrade keeps you minutes from the terminal.

When staying near the airport makes sense

  • Late arrivals and early departures. About 5 minutes to the terminal means less time on the road at the start and end of your trip.
  • Winter travel. A short drive to the airport is one less thing to worry about on snowy mornings.
  • Yellowstone road trips. Pick up a rental car at BZN and head out: the North Entrance is about 1.5 hours and the West Entrance about 1.6 hours from the Bozeman area.
  • Splitting your trip. Spend your first or last nights near BZN and the middle of the trip closer to the park. Our where to stay near Yellowstone guide compares the towns.
