We visit Whitefish periodically, and our Daughter (who lives in Whitefish) has used Glacier Cyclery for minor maintenance on their bikes. During a recent visit, a found a particular bike I have been looking for on the local Craigslist site. This shop handled the boxing it for me, and explained how I could use Bikeflights.com to have it shipped home quite reasonably. When the bike arrived, the local shop I had reassemble it commented on how well it was packed. It’s now assembled, and I’m enjoying it back home. Nice job Glacier Cyclery!

Love this store! They are one of the few places in town you can get something that isn't marked up a billion percent and they have very fun, original graphic shirts/sweatshirts. Definitely worth the half block walk from main street.

We stopped in the art gallery during a walk around the area when we arrived in Whitefish. The gorgeous flowers outside the gallery stopped me so I could take some photos. We wanted to see what was inside. There are lots of amazing pieces of art -- wood carvings, paintings, multi-media pieces and more! Much of it is large and western-centric; many items are expensive (competitively priced for what you're purchasing). The back room holds more moderately priced pieces that are easy to pack in your luggage to bring home.

A scenic hiking area which offers berrypicking.
Reviewed By CATTSAR - Provincetown, United States
This is one of my favorite all seasons playgrounds. On this particular visit it was the setting of a winter adventure. It was a perfect day to be out on the snow cat on trails in the back country. Surrounded by tall pines and towering cliff it is Montana at its finest. We finished the rides with a trip to Tally Lake, an amazing gem in the western part of the forest. Tally Lake has the distinction of being the deepest lake in Montana registering at about 500 feet. Of the many other activities available throughout the year~ hiking, boating camping and swimming are just to name a few.

While pretty much everything is western themed, it is one of the best galleries in town. It is pretty packed but with very good to superb artwork including sculptors and painters. Definitely worth the stop. Beautiful place.

Took the train from Whitefish to West Glacier. Walked to Glacier Guides and Montana Raft for a whole day of fun. Walked back to West Glacier to take it back to Whitefish. Train was 3 hours late. That gave us time to eat a Bison burger and have a brew at the restaurant across the street.
