BIL → HVR
Which side of the plane to sit from Billings Logan International Airport (Billings) to Havre City County Airport (Havre)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for Central Montana's iconic 'island' mountain ranges and the rugged terrain of the Missouri River Breaks.
Big Snowy Mountains
A massive limestone range rising abruptly from the plains near Lewistown.
Judith Mountains
Isolated mountain peaks known for their gold mining history and circular formation.
Missouri River Breaks
Striking badland topography where the Missouri River carves through the central prairie.
Judith Basin
Expansive agricultural lands that served as the primary inspiration for artist Charlie Russell.
Morning flights offer the best lighting for the limestone faces of the Big Snowy Mountains. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes into the flight for the Missouri River crossing. In winter, the snow highlights the intricate erosion patterns of the river breaks.
Yellowstone River
The longest undammed river in the lower 48 states, visible immediately after departure.
Bull Mountains
A unique island of Ponderosa pine forests located north of Billings.
CMR National Wildlife Refuge
Immense, untouched grasslands and rugged coulees home to elk and diverse wildlife.
Bear Paw Mountains
Distinctive volcanic formations appearing to the southeast shortly before landing in Havre.
Immediately after takeoff from Billings, look for the lush greenery of the Yellowstone River valley. As you approach Havre, watch for the Bear Paw Mountains, which hold significant historical importance. On very clear days, you may see the distant glint of Fort Peck Lake to the northeast.
