# Getting to Bozeman from California

It’s a short jaunt from California to Bozeman, and once you’re here, it’s a quick trip to find adventure in any season. Bridger Bowl ski area is only 17 miles up the road, Yellowstone National Park is a quick hour and a half ride, and the rivers, peaks, and mountain lakes are all within a few minutes drive. You can literally hop on a flight in the morning and head to the mountains in the afternoon.
[Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport](https://bozemanairport.com/) is the busiest airport in Montana, with a robust flight schedule. Non-stop flights are available from Los Angeles and San Francisco, and connecting flights are generally short. Click [here](https://bozemanairport.com/content/documents/Summer-2018-Flight-Schedule-2.pdf) for the 2018 summer schedule.
If you are up for a road trip, I-15 North or I-80 East take you through some beautiful country, so build in some time for exploration!
