WHITEFISH MOUNTAIN RESORT - MOUNTAIN BIKING
| Ride more than 25 miles of lift-accessed and cross-country mountain bike trails above the Flathead Valley. In Whitefish, we go with the flow. Our laid back vibe is one of the reasons why people keep coming back. That and the other relaxing characteristics: our lazy meandering river, pours of locally-brewed beers and community full of easy-going locals. Even our bike trails have flow. It`s a term that often describes mountain bike trails. The way they are carved into a mountain in harmony with its contours for a smooth ride so you can, well, go with the flow. You know the feeling - the state of being completely immersed in the moment. As a mountain biker, it`s a connection to the trail as if your bike is an extension of yourself. Rolling over features, plunging through berms, catching air and landing like a feather. The Whitefish Bike Park is known for its flow. A feeling that begins as you approach the mountain, elevates as you ride the lift and culminates as you descend lap after lap. | |

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK - RED BUS TOURS
| The scenery and wildlife in Glacier National Park provides constant amazement and inspiration, for young and old alike. A fun way to reveal the deeper significance and meanings of the park is to spend time on an interpretive tour. The famous Red Buses serve as an ideal way to see and learn more about Glacier National Park. In fact, the vintage 1930s buses are part of the human history and heritage of the park. As much of the park`s scenery is vertically oriented, the roll-back tops are perfect for providing full views of the stunning mountains, and the area`s signature Big Sky. The guides are seasoned park veterans, who are here because they love the park and enjoy sharing the park with visitors. The fleet of 33 buses in Glacier is widely considered to be the oldest touring fleet of vehicles anywhere in the world, so due to the historic nature of the Red Buses, seats are not designed to the same standards as today`s buses. The red buses seat 17 people, with 4 across on bench seating and 1 front passenger seat. These are snug quarters with limited space. The Red Bus tours tend to sell out on a daily basis, so please don`t expect room to stretch out. | |
