FALL IS PRIME TIME

in Whitefish—sunny and warm with trails waiting to be

explored and rivers and lakes to paddle on with hardly another soul in sight. The western larch turn a brilliant gold and snow dusts the high peaks, providing a breathtaking view for hiking, biking and paddling around Whitefish and in Glacier National Park. Indulge culinary senses when local farms celebrate the harvest with farm-to-table dinners.

Home to world class skiing and snowboarding at Whitefish Mountain Resort, Whitefish also offers cross country skiing, snowshoeing and snowcat skiing. Snuggle up for a horse drawn sleigh ride, or pretend to be an Iditarod musher on a dog sledding expedition. Off-snow adventures abound with fitness studios, ice skating, great shopping and dining.

SPRING Photo © Brian Schott

SPRING IS THE SECRET SEASON in Whitefish. Snowplows push their way up Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road allowing scenic bike rides and casual hikes before the alpine road is opened to motor vehicles. The waterfalls are in full action and the motor-free road provides a quiet gateway into the heart of the park. Rent a paddleboard or kayak and float lazily down the Whitefish River as it meanders through town or meet up with a guide to find the perfect fishing hole. The Whitefish Trail is in prime condition for hiking and mountain biking as spring blooms line the trail.

SEEMINGLY ENDLESS DAYLIGHT gives ample time to experience Whitefish. Millions of acres of protected state and federal lands surround Whitefish, offering miles and miles of scenic roads and trails to explore.

SETTLED ALONG THE EDGE of Whitefish Lake and in the shadows of spectacular mountain ranges, Whitefish has endless opportunities for outdoor recreation and fun, family-friendly adventures. Strap on daypacks for a hike in Glacier National Park, or go on a guided rock climbing or backcountry ski tour. For those who never leave golf clubs at home, Whitefish is home to the popular 36-hole Whitefish Lake Golf Course (which converts to the Glacier Nordic Center in the winter). Saddle up for a horse-trail ride, and in winter, snuggle up for a sleigh ride dinner.
