mecca. Step out the door of the Lodge to enjoy the Big Mountain Resort. It offers world-class
skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Summer brings gondola
rides to the Summit, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, tennis and folf (frisbee
golf). "Walk in the Trees" is a unique adventure experience that tours the
trees on a canopy boardwalk.
Majestic Glacier National Park, located 24 miles east of Whitefish, is open all year. During the
summertime, visitors enjoy the famous Going-to-the-Sun Road, which winds through the center of the
park and over the Continental Divide, as well as camping, hiking, horseback riding, fishing,
golfing, boat tours, backpack trips, and endless sight-seeing opportunities. "Winter Wonderland"
takes on a new meaning in the presence of towering cedars, crystal lakes, and snow-covered
mountains. While weather conditions eventually dictate the closure of some roads, many sports
are available throughout the winter in Glacier. Cross-country skiing, showshoeing, and back
country camping are permitted. Motor home and tent camping is available at Apgar, two
miles inside the West entrance.
The beautiful Flathead Valley is big and broad and offers a multitude of recreational opportunities.
Flathead Lake lies in the center of the valley and is the largest freshwater lake this side
of the Mississippi. Flathead Lake, Whitefish Lake and several wild and scenic rivers serve
as a playground for water sports enthusiasts, fishermen and white water rafters. There are
twelve golf courses in the Valley offering challenging and incredibly scenic golf. Whitefish
is home to Montana's only 36 hole golf course, sections of which border Whitefish Lake. There
are national forests in every direction and city, state and county parks throughout and
wilderness areas on the perimeter. Cultural amenities include several museums, art galleries
and nearby Native American reservations.
