Missoula to West Glacier

We have just one day to travel by car from Yellowstone to West Glacier and want to see as much of Montana%26#39;s beautiful scenery as possible. We%26#39;ve planned to make short stops along the way and have at least one mid-day meal and dinner . Suggestions are MUCH APPRECIATED!

From I-90 northward to West Glacier:

*US Hwy 93 to Montana Hwy 35

OR

*Montana Hwy 200 to Montana Hwy 83 through Swan Valley? Read about lots of deer/wildlife on this road. Two (2) hours to Big Fork?

From US Hwy 93, which is the most scenic Flathead Lake route to take?

*Continue on 93 or

*Take State Hwy 35?

Missoula to West Glacier

With regards to US Hwy 93 and the most scenic route I%26#39;d have to give the edge to 93 because there are a few more places to pull out and shoot photos than available on Hwy 35.

I%26#39;ve travelled Hwy 83 several times and beyond white tail deer, I%26#39;ve not seen any other wildlife. Mind you, I%26#39;ve mostly been on it during the middle of the day instead of dawn/dusk when wildlife viewing is maximized.

If there is an accident on 83 or 35, it might extend your travel time by an hour or more.

Just remembered, there will be construction on US 93 this summer so be sure to stay current because there is a high likelihood that portions of 93 will be down to one lane.

My apologies if my answer brought forth more questions.

Peace.

We had good food at the Kwa TagNuk resort in Polson. The restaurant is overlooking the lake. Driving east of Flathead lake is nice and, in season, you might stop and buy chierries....delicious.
