Montana and Wyoming's airports are dwarfed by Denver International Airport in Colorado and Salt Lake City International Airport in Utah. However, connecting flights are available from Denver and Salt Lake to almost all of the regional airports in Montana and Wyoming, and -- if you have time -- renting a car in one of these larger cities can make for a nice scenic drive to your final destination.
