Whitefish has been called the recreation capital of Montana for good reason. Cool evenings and warm, long, sunny days are Montana’s signature summer weather allowing for a wide variety of adventures. In the winter, an abundance of snow with a world-class ski resort minutes from town makes for an incredible menu of winter activities. Glacier National Park is just 35 miles away – one of the most scenic places to visit in any season. With its covered sidewalk main street leading to the cultural arts center, historic depot museum and public library, this quaint, picturesque western town filled with restaurants, shopping and night life offers visitors a change from the fast-paced, hustle and bustle of urban life.
