Whitlash Aden border crossing

The Whitlash – Aden border crossing lies between the communities of Whitlash, Montana and Aden, Alberta. This crossing has the distinction of being the second least traveled port of entry in the US, averaging around 3 vehicles per day based on data gathered by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

Despite the fact that less than 1000 vehicles pass through this port per year, the CBP considers the Whitlash port as the centralized location for processing vehicle exports in the Great Falls Area Port. For this reason, the CBP replaced its old station with a state-of-the-art facility in 2012.
