Glacier National Park is truly special! If you get a chance to visit check out: Going To The Sun Road, Many Glacier, Rising Sun area (Logan Pass), Two Medicine, and East Glacier. Lakes: Avalanche, Grinnell, Josephine, Swiftcurrent, and Pray Lake. Please visit Glacier's Website for updates on closures and reservations. For 2025 the park is requiring all visitors to have a timed entry vehicle reservation between the hours of 7am to 3pm for June 13th to September 28th. If you enter before or after that time frame you will not need the reservation. These reservations are very limited, so we suggest you plan ahead of time.
Bigfork is such a cute town with plenty of little shops, restaurants and breweries to explore. There is also plenty of activities to do outside. Check out their website for local trails and recommendations!
Tyler and I love Whitefish, it has everything you could want from a mountain town. We recommend having a car to explore the shops, lake, and the ski resort. There's several golf courses around town for anyone hoping to catch a quick 18.
Kalispell is a great town with much to do and not far from Flathead Lake or Glacier National Park. The town website has links to cider/brewery map of the area, nearby trails, lakes, shops and restaurants.
