Map & Directions
Welcome to Carroll
Thank you for visiting our campus! Find O'Connell Hall (upper level), and we will welcome you for a tour or help direct you to your destination. O'Connell Hall (with visitor parking) is located on Benton Ave on the west side of campus. It can be accessed from Benton Ave on the west or Hunthausen Way (the loop drive) from the east.
Location
The Carroll Campus is located just a few blocks from downtown Helena in the center of Helena. We are just one block from a golf course and a shopping area, about 20 minutes to Canyon Ferry Lake, 30 minutes to the nearest campground and 35 minutes to a chairlift heading up a mountain for a great day of skiing.
Getting to Helena
Glad you are planning to visit Carroll - we look forward to seeing you on campus! Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Helena can be reached by plane, train or automobile!
The Helena Regional Airport is about a 10 minute drive across town from campus. Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, and Alaska Airlines fly into Helena. Connecting flights from Minneapolis/St. Paul, Salt Lake City, Denver, and Seattle are most common for travelers flying in and out of Helena.
We are about a hour and a half drive from Missoula, Great Falls, Butte and Bozeman, which all also have airports. The airport codes for the airports in the area are:
- Helena - HLN
- Bozeman - BZN
- Butte - BTM
- Great Falls - GTF
- Missoula - MSO
Travel to Helena by train is a bit trickier. Amtrak's 'Empire Builder' passenger service's nearest stops are 4 hours by car to either Shelby, MT or Havre, MT. This has been an option for current Carroll students in the past as they catch a ride to the station with friends from the area.
From any direction it is a scenic drive to Helena, Montana! Whether you are coming from the east, driving towards the Rocky Mountains, or coming over some mountain passes to get here - it is beautiful.
