re: Glacier National Park/Kalispell/Whitefish MONTANA

Was there last Labor Day. Absolutely amazing. Whitefish might be one of the coolest towns I've ever been to.

We spent almost all of our time in Whitefish so I can only recommend these places:

Great Northern Brewing - excellent beer and cool place to sit and people watch. Get there early afternoon and enjoy the scenery and conversation at the downstairs bar.

Tupelo Grill was awesome. Make reservations!

Wasabi Sushi Bar was great. Make reservations!

Piggyback BBQ was average but cool place to sit outside and listen to live music

Craggy Range Bar and Grill had pretty good bar food

If you have time, the zip lines at Whitefish Mountain Resort are lots of fun. You should also take the ski lift to the top of the mountain. Awesome views

Hiking:

We only had one morning to hike so we did the Highline Trail - make sure you get to Logan's Pass early. It will fill up by 10am and traffic can be bumper to bumper. Get an early start up the mountain. There's also a trail behind Logans Pass which takes you to an amazing lake. You take a boardwalk half way. Saw mountain goats and other animals. View at the end is awesome so keep going all the way up the trail.

If you're going to some remote trails, bring bear spray, the proper equipment and don't hike solo if you can help it. Grizzly bears everywhere. Have fun

Oh and how far in advance did you book your rooms? We wanted to stay in the park some of our trip but everything was sold out.
