There are adventures around every corner in Flathead County and something for everyone. Glacier National Park is within a 30-minute drive of Whitefish, MT, and is a place we spent a week camping back in August 2020. There's endless hiking, fishing, and water sports. Listed below are a few of our favorite spots and activities we recommend!
Please check the National Park Service website to reserve a vehicle pass, which are required from May 24th - September 8th, if you plan to enter the park between 6am - 3pm. Reservations are not required after 3pm.
