Does anyone have any suggestions as to what activities will be available in Whitefish at the end of 04/2009? (Appears my sister and I are visiting during the offseason-too late for winter activities and too early for summer.) We are 50+ age southern women and will probably spend most of our time shopping and just hanging out. I wonder if any ';tours'; will be operating 4/24-5/1/2009 where we can visit Glacier Park or if we have to do our own driving. Neither of us can ski but maybe can snowmobile??? Thanks for any suggestion!
Off season activities???
You are on the right track with shopping and just hanging out. Our local economy sure can use your dollars! :%26gt;)
You will not find any tours for Glacier Park, but do rent a car and do your own driving. It%26#39;s easy and enjoyable. GNP is about 30-40 minutes from Whitefish. You can drive alongside Lake McDonald and still see some spectacular scenery.
Be sure to head down to Bigfork for a day of more shopping, nice galleries and good restaurants. Also enjoy the scenic Flathead Lake. You could drive down the east shore of Flathead Lake and just take in the views. Also in Bigfork is the Swan River Nature Trail, a lovely walk high above the Swan River. Ask any of the locals how to find it. You walk as far as you like, then turn around and come back. Very safe, beautiful, easy trail. Enjoy Brookies Cookies on their deck overlooking the Swan River.
Kalispell has some lovely shops downtown. Capers is the best evening dining, on Main Street. Central School Museum, if history is your thing (also a sweet cafe in the museum). Hockaday Art Center has some great exhibits of Montana artists.
Check the local newspapers for music, theatre, and other entertainment. There%26#39;s always something going on, every weekend. You%26#39;ll find plenty to do.
Have a great time! Plus, you will be here for the daffodils and tulips! By the time we are done with six months of winter, we are so ready for these sweet flowers to show their faces.
