Glacier Park International Airport, Kalispell, MT
Guests are encouraged to book travel to Glacier National Park Airport in Kalispell, MT (two airport codes, FCA or GPI, but same thing!). The airport is located in northern Kalispell, and is 10-15 minutes from Columbia Falls. *For guests traveling from the CA Bay Area* Allegiant is the only airline that offers direct flights from Oakland to Kalispell. Unfortunately, they only fly this route on Wednesdays and Saturdays in 2024. Many other flight options exist, but typically include a layover in Seattle.
Hotel
Suggested Hotels
We do not have an official hotel block. There are multiple options available in the surrounding area. All wedding events will be held in Columbia Falls, however, if you are interested in exploring the nearby area, you may consider staying in Kalispell (largest town in the valley, several commercial hotel options available), or Whitefish (resort town with several upscale venues). There are also several Airbnbs and VRBOs in the area. Cedar Creek Lodge in Columbia Falls is the closest and largest hotel in Columbia Falls, centrally located in town. The hotel is a 10 minute drive from the wedding view, and about 2 minutes from the Gunsight Saloon. https://www.glaciernationalparklodges.com/lodging/cedar-creek-lodge/ The Inn at Meadow Lake is another option in Columbia Falls. Offering both standard hotel rooms and condo-rentals, this property borders a scenic golf course. Meadow Lake is approximately 15 minutes from the wedding venue and 5 minutes from the Gunsight Saloon. https://meadowlake.com
Travel Note
Transportation
True to it's 'wild-west charm,' The Flathead Valley has somewhat limited transporation options. We strongly suggest renting a vehicle and/or carpooling as much as possible. Cabs and ride sharing companies (Uber, Lyft, etc.) are very limited, and are not recommended to be your primary mode of transportation.
