 Glacier National Park
Flathead Valley is home to Glacier National Park... Crown Jewel of the Continent... Less than 15 miles from Flathead River Ranch, you will be able to step into one of the most pristine, natural settings left in North America. With over 700 miles of trails connecting hundreds of lakes, streams and valleys, you will find stunning panoramas everywhere. Wildflowers are abundant during the spring and summer, and their varieties change as you gradually move through different altitudes and climate zones of glacial waters, majestic snow capped peaks and ice sculptured lakes. Throughout the park you might encounter deer, elk, moose, bear, bighorn sheep and mountain goats. And in the evening, if you are lucky, you may hear the mystical howl of a gray wolf, but you probably won't catch a glimpse one.

 The combination of 3 mountain ranges and multiple lakes in the Flathead Valley have a moderating thermal effect on the weather providing a comfortable climate all year, ranging from 20's in the coldest winter to an 85 on a warm, summer day. Due to the 3000-foot valley floor, there is no acclimation to elevation when visiting the Flathead Valley. Even the summit of the Whitefish Mountain Resort at Big Mountain is only 7000 feet!
Designated a federal Wild and Scenic Corridor, the three forks of the Flathead River drain into Flathead Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, providing extraordinary fly-fishing and boating experiences. |
