Day to day, that means stories about visitor destinations from Glacier to the smaller towns along the state's highways, new or changed flight service through the state's airports, and hotel and lodging trends. Coverage reaches from the capital to the rural counties where most of the state's visitors spend their time. Seasonal swings in visitation drive much of the reporting, since summer and winter draw very different crowds. Road conditions and the limited number of airline routes into the state are the constraints that shape most travel stories.
