The next Fourth of July lands on Sunday, July 4, 2027. On I-90, US-287 and US-93, the heaviest traffic usually hits the two days before the Fourth and the day after. Fireworks nights fill small-town rooms first, so lock your overnight early.

Book the halfway night early

Helena sits about 92 miles from Bozeman and 208 miles from West Glacier. Holiday weekends sell out the rooms near the highway first.
