Whitefish is easily one of the most beautiful and popular
wilderness tourist areas in Western Montana. Population is
under 10,000, with Flathead County (third largest populated
County in Montana) at under 100,000. That is less than fifteen
people per square mile ! With world famous Big Mountain Winter
Ski and
Recreation Area (300,000 + visitors per year) right here in
Whitefish, and Glacier National Park (3,000,000 + visitors
per year) just thirty minutes to the northeast, hotel locations
just dont get much better.
With fourteen spectacular wilderness mountain lakes, eleven
area golf courses, athletic clubs, tennis, hiking, cross country
skiing and snowmobiling, this pristine area gets better and
better
. Kalispell is Montanas fourth largest city,
and the third fastest growing area in the State, and its
just twelve miles south of Whitefish, with International Airport
(United, Delta Skywest, Northwest Airlines), Community College,
Costco, Lowes, Home Depot, Target, Walmart, etc. Whitefish
also has its own performing arts center, historic train
depot, central park, Hospital and Emergency Care Center, Library
and Town Center.
Average daytime temperatures range from 20 to 75 degrees,
with about one foot of total accumulated snowfall over the
winter. Remember, this is the Pacific Weather System
originating from the West Coast. Eastern Montana, with about
two-thirds of the states land area, situated east of
the Rocky Mountains and Continental Divide, has the Atlantic
Weather System like North and South Dakota, Minnesota,
Wisconsin and northern Michigan. Big Mountain at 7,000
and the high Glacier National Park peaks at 9,000 +, have
heavy snow fall throughout the winter months. This all adds
up to our wonderful CHANGING SEASONS, providing our lush green,
rushing river springs, warm clear summers and delightful crisp
and colorful falls.
Seven hotels and motels are situated along State Highway
93, plus a dozen lodges, chalets and bed and breakfasts around
Whitefish Lake and up on Big Mountain. In addition to Big
Mountain and Glacier National Park, area recreational attractions
include Big Sky Water Park, Hungry Horse Dam and Wilderness
Camping Area, House of Mystery, Great Northern Brewing Company
and several State and Federal Wildlife Parks and Wilderness
Areas.
