Where the mighty mountains of the Crown of the Continent soar. Where the cold, clear Flathead River snakes from wild lands in Glacier National Park and the Bob WMarshall Wilderness to the largest freshwater lake in the west. Where you can plan ahead for a trip of wonder—or let each new moment lead your adventures. Follow the open road to see what’s at the very end. Lay out the map and chart a course to its furthest corner. Or explore the galleries, museums, and shops in historic downtown Kalispell—and maybe let the bakery tempt you into an unexpected sweet treat. Here in the heart of the Flathead Valley, life is awe-inspiring and simple at the same time. If we wish to lose ourselves, there’s millions of acres of protected, pristine forest to wander. If we wish to find ourselves, we need only to channel the confident frontier spirit that drove the development of a regional economic, cultural, and governmental powerhouse. These Western roots form the strong foundation for a growing and diversifying community. Which is to say, we are proud of our history but we don’t plan on slowing down anytime soon. Just imagine how much energy all this fresh mountain air gives us. In the past few years, we have doubled down on our commitment to our walkable, vibrant downtown. It’s growing by the minute. And the amount of new breweries, distilleries, coffee shops, and restaurants that have opened their doors on Main Street means your night out just planned itself. Kalispell, Montana, is a place for skiers and hikers and fisherman. It’s a place for creatives and ranchers and scientists. It’s a place for foodies and history buffs and lovers of the arts. It’s a place for you. 4 www.discoverkalispell.com | 888-888-2308 .$/,63(// 10 mountain surround Kalispell, ranges including the Whitefish Range, Glacier National Park’s Livingston and Lewis Ranges, DRIVING DISTANCES FROM the Middle Fork’s DOWNTOWN KALISPELL Flathead Range, and the Swan and To Glacier National Park > 32 miles Mission Ranges, To Glacier Park International Airport > 9 miles which overlook To Flathead Lake > 10 miles Flathead Lake.

And that doesn’t even begin to count the diverse animals that call this area home — or all the plant species. For many, a trip to Glacier National Park is a lifelong bucket list item. But with so many incredible vistas and breathtakingly beauti- ful natural features, it’s impossible to see everything in one visit. So we’ve asked the experts for their advice on the best spots in the park — the must-see places, items that aren’t overrated and the secrets they usually only share with their own visiting friends and family.

On it, you’ll enjoy 24/7 expert guides, premium accommodations, delicious meals, effortless transportation, and local wine or beer with dinner. Rest assured that every trip detail has been anticipated so you’re free to enjoy an adventure that exceeds your expectations. Overview The true meanings of “spectacular” and “scenic” are restored in Glacier National Park in Montana. Its dramatic beauty was formed between 70 and 150 million years ago, when pressures of the earth’s tectonic plates caused a slab of seabed sediments several miles thick to be thrust gradually upwards some 50 miles to the east. Glaciers made their majestic entrance later, sculpting the park into elegant U-shaped valleys and matterhorns. All this work by Mother Nature left white-water rivers cascading into teal-green lakes reflecting mountain upon mountain in these upper reaches of the Rockies. The walks here take you to the mountain habitats of bighorn sheep, mountain goats, moose, and raptors. You walk to glacial, trout-filled lakes in dramatic cirques and find vistas that open generously over the heart of the Rockies.

For the most up-to-date information, please refer to the interactive fault map. South Fork Flathead fault (Class A) No. 701 Last Review Date: 2006-05-08 Compiled in cooperation with the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology citation for this record: Haller, K.M., compiler, 2006, Fault number 701, South Fork Flathead fault, in Quaternary fault and fold database of the United States: U.S. Geological Survey website, https://earthquakes.usgs.gov/hazards/qfaults, accessed 12/14/2020 02:02 PM. Synopsis Little known about this long range-front fault that bounds the west side of the Flathead Range. Detailed studies have not been conducted to date. No scarps have been reported along this fault. Name Source of name is Ostenaa and others (1990 #540). Referred to as comments the Flathead fault in early work in the region (Clapp, 1932 #997; Erdmann, 1944 #987). Later referred to as the South Fork fault (Bryant and others, 1984 #1027; Sullivan and LaForge, 1988 #541).

  • South Fork Flathead Watershed Westslope Cutthroat Trout Conservation Program Draft Environmental Impact Statement
    South Fork Flathead Watershed Westslope Cutthroat Trout Conservation Program Draft Environmental Impact Statement Responsible Agency: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Cooperating Agencies: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (FS) and State of Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (MFWP) Department Title of Proposed Project: South Fork Flathead Watershed Westslope Cutthroat Trout Conservation Program State Involved: Montana Abstract: In cooperation with MFWP, BPA is proposing to implement a conservation program to preserve the genetic purity of the westslope cutthroat trout populations in the South Fork of the Flathead drainage. The South Fork Flathead Watershed Westslope Cutthroat Trout Conservation Program constitutes a portion of the Hungry Horse Mitigation Program. The purpose of the Hungry Horse Mitigation Program is to mitigate for the construction and operation of Hungry Horse Dam through restoring habitat, improving fish passage, protecting and recovering native fish populations, and reestablishing fish harvest opportunities. The target species for the Hungry Horse Mitigation Program are bull trout, westslope cutthroat trout, and mountain whitefish. The program is designed to preserve the genetically pure fluvial and adfluvial westslope cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki lewisi) populations in the South Fork drainage of the Flathead River. In order to accomplish the goals, MFWP is proposing to remove hybrid trout from identified lakes in the South Fork Flathead drainage on the Flathead National Forest and replace them with genetically pure native westslope cutthroat trout over the next 10-12 years. Some of these lakes occur within the Bob Marshall Wilderness and Jewel Basin Hiking Area. Currently, 21 lakes and their outflow streams with hybrid populations have been identified and are included in this proposal.

On the back cover is The History ofMontana: Exploration and Settlement (1943-44 , oil on canvas), one of the murals in the History of Montana series painted by John W. "Jack" Beauchamp, an artist and the director of the Helena Art Center at Carroll College in the 1940s. Saloon manager Kenny Egan commissioned the artist to paint the murals for the Mint Cigar Store and Tavern located in downtown Helena in 1943· Before the building was demolished in i960, the murals were removed and donated to the Montana Historical Society by the Dennis and Vivian Connors family. Three of the panels are currently on loan to Helena's City County Building, where they hang in the main meeting room. The History ofMontana: Exploration and Settlement depicts people and places central to the state's story, including the Lewis and Clark Expedition and St. Mary's Mission and its founders, Fathers Pierre-] ean De Smet and Anthony Ravalli. The mission and a number of other Montana natural, historic, and recreational sites were proposed as inclusions to the national park system.
