Only have one day in Whitefish? Here’s a perfect day for trail lovers:

Start with a hearty breakfast at:
• Loula’s – famous lemon-stuffed French toast

• Or grab a quick bite at Montana Coffee Traders or Montana Coffee Grab & Go to hit the trail early

Morning Hike: Dog friendly!
Tackle Danny On Trail on Big Mountain—wildflowers, killer views, and the option to ride the gondola down (or up!). It is about 10 degrees cooler so bring a jacket.

Pick up trail-friendly bites at Third Street Market or Mountain Berry Bowls. Bring:
• Huckleberry cheese, local bread, smoked meats
• Fresh fruit + cookies
• Plenty of water & a thermos of coffee!

🌲 Afternoon Hike (if you’ve got energy):
Whitefish Trail – Lion Mountain or Swift Creek for a mellow, forested loop with lake glimpses or just take a dip in Whitefish lake or float on a paddle board ( rentals at the lake)

🌅 Wrap up with lakeside relaxation or dinner at Whitefish Lake Lodge. Legs tired, heart full! Featuring our Glacier Bear suite perfect for a couples. King Bed. airbnb.com/h/glacierbear

A Little Story from the Lodge… 🌸

Last April, a family booked Black Bear Lodge for a much-needed spring reset. The snow had mostly melted, but there were still little patches in the shady spots where their kids raced to make "the last snowball of the season."

Mornings started slow—coffee brewing, dogs running through the yard, sunlight streaming through the big windows. By mid-morning, they were off exploring Whitefish trails, grabbing pastries downtown, and snapping photos near Glacier Park’s entrance (still quiet before the summer crowds).

At night? They gathered by the firepit, wrapped in blankets, roasting s’mores under the stars. The air was crisp, but the hot cocoa was warm—and so were the memories.

This April, we’d love to host your story at Black Bear Lodge.
