Food scene
o Another place you don’t want to miss is eating or drinking at is “The Lodge”. Indoor and outdoor dining right on the water just make sure and get a reservation ahead of time. We have even ran into Cindy Crawford at the bar here. 10 minute walk to the North.
You can also rent jet skis and boats here for trips around the lake.

Just a few minutes walk down the street is an amazing Mexican food spot. I would not come to Whitefish without eating here it’s that good. I also recommend trying out the Cilantro Margherita.

Convenience and Breakfast Burritos
o Across the street from the development is a gas station with a small grocery store for any last-minute items. They also have a pretty good wine and beer selection. Hot Tip – Wander over in the mornings for a surprisingly good grab and go breakfast burrito that they make in house.

• Glacier National Park is currently on a reservation system until September 6th. If you want to visit the park prior to this date you will need to get an reservation ticket here:
o https://www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10087086
o Additional Info: https://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/gtsrticketedentry.htm
• Tickets open up each day at 8am for two days in advance
• If you do not get a ticket, you can get into the park after 5pm without a reservation ticket but still have to buy the parks pass. This is actually my preferred way to get into the park since the sun sets very late here and you can still get several hours in the park. There will also generally be less people than during the day and wildlife is more active early and late in the day for viewing.
• If you would like your best shot at seeing grizzly bears from your car, drive across the park to the Easy entrance, turnaround, and 6 miles back to where you came from you will see open fields on your right. These are full of service berries which the grizzlies come out to eat at dusk. You can stay in your car and keep an eye on the fields. Probably a 50/50 shot any given night. You can also ask a park ranger for the latest info on where they are moving around to.
