Recommendation
For the most efficient journey from Pellston to Helena, I recommend taking a direct flight (where available) or a connecting flight with either Delta or United Airlines. This will provide the fastest overall travel time. If you prefer a scenic route, consider renting a car and driving part of the way, allowing you to take in the beautiful landscapes of the Midwest. Pair this with a flight from a larger city, such as Chicago, to Helena. Remember to check travel advisories and seasonal weather patterns along your route.
