Whitefish

In far-northern Montana, close to Glacier National Park's west entrance, is the adventure town of Whitefish. Thousands of tourists come to this vibrant city with fewer than 8,000 residents every year. However, Whitefish's abundant tourism is understandable given the abundance of incredible places to visit nearby. The ski slopes at the nearby Whitefish Mountain Resort, one of Montana's top ski resorts, may be the community's biggest outdoor draw. This well-known winter sports resort has more than 3,000 acres of skiable land. The resort offers lodging options like slope-side condominiums in addition to activities on the downhill.

In Glacier National Park, Apgar Village is also 30 miles northeast of Whitefish. The town also provides quick access to Flathead Lake, one of the biggest freshwater lakes west of the Mississippi River, to the south. Whitefish Lake, a welcoming body of water with a large state park, is right at the edge of the city. The surrounding Flathead National Forest is one of Whitefish's additional attractions. Whitefish's burgeoning outdoor tourism industry contributes to a boom in the arts and culture there. Dining out, exploring art galleries, and evening karaoke performances are among the activities available in Whitefish between excursions. Whitefish's central business district also offers a variety of lodging choices.
