Most of Montana's small towns are overlooked by travelers rushing to Yellowstone and the state's other Great Outdoors attractions. Lying right at the edge of the Flathead Valley, with Glacier National Park in the background, Whitefish is one small town that is worth stopping by.
If you're heading elsewhere in Montanta for Labor Day, the weather should be just about perfect this time of year to check out this quaint little valley town for a day. And why not? You've got that extra day. Here's what the Whitefish tourist board has to say about the place:
Ask about any Canadian in Southern Alberta and you'll get some kind of story about their adventure in Whitefish.
OK, not sure exactly what that means, but apparently Whitefish has become Montana's Tijuana. Count us in!
You can spend the day hiking up Big Mountain (it's 7,000 feet high, to be precise, and you can take the cable car if that's too big for you), and the night is ripe for bar-hopping along Central Avenue, which, as you'll find out, is the only avenue in town.
Pretty much all the accommodations are quaint, log cabin-style buildings or massive log cabin-style buildings like the Lodge at Whitefish Lake resort, with its picturesque boat club on the lake.
