Whitefish did not disappoint.
Flathead County, Montana has been at the tip top of our “Places to Explore” list for along while. Mainly because of the area’s proximity to Glacier National Park, but also because of it’s beautiful mountain and lake views, large expanses of land, international airport, and the resources and infrastructure of Kalispell and nearby ski resort town, Whitefish.
After a week exploring, I can confidently say it is staying on our short list 🤓
Though Kalispell is too developed for what we’re looking for, Whitefish is absolutely amazing. Fantastic restaurants, incredible mountain and lake views, and a wealth of small town charm… all within 15 minutes of an international airport. And only 45 minutes to Glacier National Park, which is just incredible.
The surrounding areas (within 30-45 minutes of Whitefish) are all equally impressive.
Nearby, up-and-coming Columbia Falls was a surprise, with its impressive downtown and beautiful park system. Just south of Columbia Falls (the land nestled between the Flathead River and Highway 206) is prime for development, with significant acreage still available despite the incredible views and close proximity to all that Whitefish and Kalispell have to offer.
While we’re still very early in our journey to find a new place to call “Home,” Whitefish and the nearby areas could absolutely be the one 🥰
Sunsets in Whitefish, Montana were consistently beautiful.
