You can paddle from Dayton or take a boat or paddle tour to Wild Horse Island in Flathead Lake, NW MT. Paddling from Dayton is the shortest route, which can be a simple, easy trip in a kayak. Watch the weather report, take safety gear and wear a life vest because the wind can come in with a vengeance and make it anywhere from challenging to dangerous. A solo trip is not recommended.

Ditch the tiny tent and stay in these yurts, trailers, and canvas tents instead. All you have to do is show up and camp, no set-up or wrangling poles required

Forming the westernmost buttress of the broad expanse of peaks that comprises the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex, the Swans lie within an hour’s drive of both Missoula and Kalispell but somewhat off the beaten path of the hiking masses. Here, stream-bottom trailheads access great swatches of subalpine meadows and dozens of tree-shaded tarns high above the Flathead and Seeley-Swan valleys. Aside from the justifiably popular Jewel Basin Hiking Area, the Swans promise solitude.

Although Glacier is famous for their GTTSR drive, in our opinion the best views are found on the trails. Here are 15 Best Hikes in Glacier National Park!

Wine tasting on the shores of Flathead Lake sounds amazing.

Yellow Bay is another site on the east side of Flathead lake that is tucked in behind a small southward pointing headland. The beach is a pocket beach and small spit, with a little stream flowing out across the berm. It would be interesting visit these places in the winter when the lake levels are 8 feet lower! It would be fun to come back with several days and really explore Flathead Lake - as opposed to two quick stops on Day Two of a trip where Day Eight is New York City. Time to go.

Come to the heart of the famous Montana sweet cherry orchards, where blossoms color the hillsides during the spring. Located on the east shore of Flathead Lake you can camp, swim, boat, fish and bird watch.

Sneeuwballen hoef je niet alleen maar te gooien hoor! Je kunt er ook een ontzettend gezellige winterse bezoeker van je tuin van maken. Zoals deze enorme sneeuwballen rups. Ik weet helaas niet meer waar ik de foto vandaan heb. Deze stond al enige tijd in mijn beeldbank te wachten op het juiste moment. Deze hoeveelheden sneeuw lijken me daar prima voor! You don't always have to throw snowballs. You can also make them into this beautiful cattepillar. I'm not sure where I found the picture. It…
