Need to get your character to Kalispell?  For those without a horse or using public transport, the best option is as follows...

East or West Coast

• By railroad (Union Pacific) to Cheyenne (Wyoming).

Cheyenne (Wyoming) to Helena (Montana)

• Stagecoach - Wells Fargo

Helena or Missoula (Montana) to Kalispell

• Millegan Stage and Transportation (Driver: Adelaide Chappel) - local company based in Kalispell.

Sacramento, California to Missoula, Montana (Fictional)

• There is a private rail line to Missoula from Sacramento. It was built by eccentric multi-millionaire, Jacob Grayson to facilitate quick trips to Montana where he has an elaborate hunting lodge. Since it is private, it is very expensive to use and its schedule is rather erratic.

If you want your character to choose a different route, here are some links to websites that might help...

• Wells Fargo

San Francisco to Chicago via The Burlington Route
