Muhlfeld explorewhitefish local resident for 25 years whitefishmt FALL IS PRIME TIME in Whitefish—sunny and warm with trails waiting to be explored and rivers and lakes to paddle on with hardly another soul in sight. The western larch turn a brilliant gold and snow dusts the high peaks, providing a breathtaking view for hiking, biking and paddling around Whitefish and in Glacier National Park. Indulge culinary senses when local farms celebrate the harvest with farm-to-table dinners. AUTUMN A PERFECT DAY With an out of town friend visiting Whitefish for the first time, I aim to show off the perfect fall day in Whitefish. First things first… breakfast at the Swift Creek Café for one of their famous scrambles. Fueled up, we head out to the Bar W Guest Ranch and saddle up for a two hour trail ride – a leisurely amble through dappled sunlight Photo © Marc O’Brien, The Whitefish Trail reflecting on golden larch and aspen. We decide to do a bit of ADVENTURES shopping before lunch, so we hit Central Avenue for some unique Made-in-Montana gifts to take home as souvenirs. A grab-n-go lunch from the Wich Haus makes for a perfect picnic at City Beach – the afternoon sun sparkling off of Whitefish Lake. Needing to burn some calories, it’s off to the Swift Creek Trailhead of The Whitefish Trail at the head of Whitefish Lake – from there a 2.5 mile hike takes us to Smith Lake where we spy a family of turtles sunning themselves on a fallen log. Before dinner, a stop at the Sky Bar at Casey’s Pub is in order to take in the fall colors, crisp air and a signature cocktail. We walk to Tupelo Grille where the sounds of jazz accompany our meal, capped off with the best Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée west of the Mississippi. A perfect fall day it was. ~ Sarah S., Office Manager at Explore Whitefish Photo © Noah Couser, The Rooftop SkyBar at Casey’s Saddle up for a leisurely amble through dappled sunlight reflecting on golden larch and aspen.

Home to world class skiing and snowboarding at Whitefish Mountain Resort, Whitefish also offers cross country skiing, snowshoeing and snowcat skiing. Snuggle up for a horse drawn sleigh ride, or pretend to be an Iditarod musher on a dog sledding expedition. Off-snow adventures abound with fitness studios, ice skating, great shopping and dining. WINTER Photo © Noah Couser, The Lodge at Whitefish Lake WONDERS Photo © Montana Office of Tourism & Business Development, Winter Woods Dog Sled Tours A PERFECT DAY I peek out the window and see that a few inches of fresh snow are covering the sidewalk! A quick glance at the Snow Report at skiwhitefish.com confirms what I had already been suspecting— A quick phone call to Powder Day! I quickly get dressed and head out the door for what is certain to be a memorable day. A quick stop at Fleur Bake Shop the Snow Report line for a coffee and some pastries will help get the blood moving as I dream about the powder turns that will soon be mine. I head up to the street to grab a pair of demo skis at Great Northern Cycle at Whitefish Mountain & Ski—12” of fresh snow is going to require some true powder skis. Demo skis in hand, I catch the S.N.O.W. Bus for a free ride up the mountain to join the party. The next few hours are filled with Resort confirms what powdery turns, high fives and endless smiles. By late afternoon, my legs are shot and my stomach is growling. Another easy ride on I had already suspected the S.N.O.W. Bus back to town leads me to Great Northern Brewing Company for a sandwich and a local brew. As I stand in line to grab another round, I can’t help but chuckle when I glance around — Powder Day! the brewery and notice I’m not the only one still in ski boots. Just another perfect winter day in Whitefish! ~ Dan H., Bartender at Great Northern Brewing Company Photo © Craig Moore EXPLORE WHITEFISH | 7 SPRING IS THE SECRET SEASON in Whitefish. Snowplows push their way up Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road allowing scenic bike rides and casual hikes before the alpine road is opened to motor vehicles. The waterfalls are in full action and the motor-free road provides a quiet gateway into the heart of the park. Rent a paddleboard or kayak and float lazily down the Whitefish River as it meanders through town or meet up with a guide to find the perfect fishing hole. The Whitefish SPRING Trail is in prime condition for hiking and mountain biking as spring blooms line the trail. DISCOVERY Photo © Montana Office of Tourism & Business Development Photo © Montana Office of Tourism & Business Development, Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park A PERFECT DAY I start my day by riding my townie over to Montana Coffee Traders for a cup of coffee and breakfast burrito. It’s a great place to check emails and finalize details for the day’s tours. On my way out the door, The waterfalls are I pick my order of sandwiches and cookies for our guests that will be riding the iconic Going-to-the-Sun Road with us today. I head back in full action and to the office, grab the shuttle van and our guides, and head over to Glacier Cyclery to load our guest’s rental bikes (by the way, you can now e-bike Going-to-the-Sun Road!). After picking up our guests from the motor-free road their lodging in Whitefish, we head to Glacier National Park. We arrive in the park and start our casual pedal along the road — a real treat as the portion we are on is open exclusively to bicycles and foot traffic (no provides a quiet cars!) through spring until late June. After enjoying our Montana Coffee Trader’s sandwiches and cookies at “the Loop” we continue onward and gateway into the upward until we reach the snow plows, passing jaw dropping views of mountains, waterfalls and scenic overlooks that can be a challenge to experience during the busy summer months. We make the exhilarating heart of the park. descent to our shuttle vehicle and head back to Whitefish while sharing stories about the day’s adventures. Later that evening, the family and I walk downtown to Abruzzo Italian Kitchen where I celebrate another day in paradise with the Seafood Pasta and one of their world famous Old Fashioneds.

  • Appendix 4 Brief Geologic History of the Flathead Subbasin
    Appendix 4 Brief Geologic History of the Flathead Subbasin The Precambrian rocks of the Belt Supergroup that underlie the Flathead Subbasin formed from sediments deposited in and near a large but shallow sea or inland lake during the middle Proterozoic (from roughly 1,600 to 800 million years ago). This large body of water, which may have been similar to today’s Caspian Sea, occupied parts of present-day eastern Washington, the panhandle of Idaho, western Montana, and adjacent areas of Canada. Over a period of 800 million years, more than 18,000 feet of sediment accumulated from surrounding highlands. The ever-increasing load depressed the sea floor, and variations in the downwarping, combined with changes in the amount and type of sediment flowing into the basin, resulted in alternate layers of different kinds of sediment, including sand, silt, and limey mud. As the great mass of sediment accumulated, moderate heat and pressure associated with deep burial caused mild metamorphism, converting the rocks to quartzite, siltite, argillite, recrystallized limestone, and dolomite. The rocks, however, retained much of their sedimentary character; features such as ripple marks, mud cracks, salt casts, and fossil algal stromatolites are well preserved. In some areas, igneous rocks were injected into the sedimentary rocks and formed sills that today parallel the layering in the rocks. Approximately 150 million years ago the North American plate began colliding with numerous large island arcs in the Pacific. The impacts created and elevated mountain chains, forming the ancestral Rocky Mountains. Immense compressive forces persisted for some 90 million years and were enough to produce mountains several hundred miles inland from the edge of the continent.

Photo courtesy gravityshots.com ii Voices of Our Lake Photo courtesy gravityshots.com founded the Whitefish Lake Institute (WLI) in 2005 to give Whitefish Lake a voice. Its muted waters were undergoing increasing pressure and it needed I better understanding. After all, the lake provides a beautiful backdrop to our community while being a major economic driver. WLI’s role is to define the underpinnings of this lake-based ecosystem and to develop methods we can employ to manage and care for it. Through the years, WLI and project partnershave amassed a solid baseline awareness of the water quality and food web that shape the lake and local streams. In 2015, we compiled that information in one narrative—the Whitefish Area Water Resources Report: A Status of the Whitefish Lake Watershed and Surrounding area. This report and all its supporting re- sources are available at www.whitefishlake.org. Photo courtesy Whitefish Lake Institute In the report, the lake’s voice becomes clearer, revealing a unique record of trends and patterns – the result of natural forces and human actions that operate at time scales ranging from minutes to decades.

  • Flathead Wild and Scenic River CRMP Botany & Geology Fact Sheet
    Flathead Wild and Scenic River CRMP Botany & Geology Fact Sheet Introduction The Three Forks of the Flathead River were designated a Wild and Scenic River (WSR) in 1976 and are a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. A total of 219 miles of the Flathead River are included in the designation. The free-flowing conditions and water quality of designated wild and scenic rivers are to be protected and enhanced. BOTANY Botanical resources on the three forks of the Flathead are considered one of its Outstandingly Remarkable Values (ORVs). Therefore, review of baseline conditions, potential threats to resources, and future management and monitoring objectives will be integral to the ongoing Comprehensive River Management Plan (CRMP) process. High Quality Riparian Habitat The Three Forks of the Flathead River occur within one of the largest intact ecosystems in the lower 48 states where natural processes such as fire, flooding, plant succession, wildlife migration, and predator-prey dynamics shape the landscape and its wildlife. A full complement of native plant and wildlife species is present in the river corridor, which is a significant value at both a regional and national scale. Management and Regulatory Framework The Forest has one designated wild and scenic river, the Flathead River. Its three forks—the South Fork, Middle Fork, and North Fork—Wild and Scenic river corridors extend 0.25 miles (roughly 1,300 feet) on each side of the river. Public Law 94-486 established the Three Forks of the Flathead as a Wild and Scenic
