The town of Whitefish dates back to 1905 when the Great Northern Railway arrived in Flathead Valley, bringing miners and loggers. Today, it's a year-round destination for epic skiing, hiking, fly-fishing—and even dog sledding. Of course, the majesty of Glacier National Park is only 19 miles away.
The town of Whitefish dates back to 1905 when the Great Northern Railway arrived in Flathead Valley, bringing miners and loggers. Today, it's a year-round destination for epic skiing, hiking, fly-fishing—and even dog sledding. Of course, the majesty of Glacier National Park is only 19 miles away. Many visitors still arrive in Whitefish by train, just as they did over a century ago. Now, however, they find a vibrant town with outfitters, restaurants, breweries, and a farmers market, making it the perfect home base for adventure. Fly through Winter woodlands by dog sled, fish trout-rich rivers, and hike epic alpine landscapes. Big Mountain Ski Resort is 15 minutes away, offering spectacular skiing and riding nestled on 4,000 acres of the Northern Rockies.
