You would have to drive on the Going to the Sun highway through Glacier National Park to get there. The highway is closed during the winter, but should be open now, and I've heard it's a beautiful drive.

No, you dont have to go via Going to the Sun Road. Head down south of Calgary, through Crowsnest etc and clear the border on the WEST side of Glacier National Park. Then you go through Eureka and are very close to Kalispell on that side. We used to summer vacation down there and drove that way all the time.

And yes, the Going to the Sun road is still closed, probably till at least June 15, sometimes longer if lots of snow cover. The pass is very high up on that road so sometimes is not opened till July.
