My friend and I shared our guide Abigail Lichens on Stormy with a mother on Sonny and daughter on Otto. I rode Nightlinger and my friend was on Mugshot. All of the horses were well cared for and really good looking horses. They had their own personalities; they like to snack and rub against trees and branches along the trail, even though we did our best to keep them from snacking and going off trail. There was a fallen tree on the trail that the horses navigated around fairly easily. Abigail informed the people at the corral about the fallen tree to have it cleared and filled us in about plants, wildlife, trees and the area. She was friendly and very helpful. Her first priority was safety. All of us had a fantastic time.

Riding through the Flathead National Forest with Joe and Danielle and then floating down the Middle Fork of the Flathead River with Doc was a great way to spend a summer day exploring.

They do sell out for same day adventures.

The next day we paddle boarded around the lake and on Sunday there was smoked salmon Benedict's and hot coffee, as well as a brunch concert. This place will take your breath away. Definitely coming back next weekend for more. Everything was on a whole other level.

There is plenty of parking and restrooms and it seems like the park is still under construction and there will be more to come.

Half of us went on TK's raft while the rest of us went on Carly's raft. I was with Carly who was an amazing guide. She was so nice and sweet. Very knowledgeable of our surroundings such as the landscape and very few wildlife we came across. I loved it so much, I went on the Rapids rafting the next day with just my boyfriend and I. Our guide was Niels. He was amazing as well! He knew a lot about not just the GNP, but of Montana itself. If you're looking for more of a fun experience, I suggest the whitewater rapids rafting! That was so much fun. I wish it was longer and had more intense rapids lol

We had a previous guide on the raft with our group and a grandmother with her granddaughter. The granddaughter was the only one of us that jumped into the ice cold water during a calm section of the tour. The water is very cold. They provided wetsuits, fleeces and a wind breaker. Minnow was friendly and had a steady dialogue about the area: River, wildlife, plants, history, and more. She steered the raft and directed us when we needed to paddle. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time. We were in a raft with a great group of people. I highly recommend the white water tour. They also offer a lazy river tour if you don't want to get wet and just want to enjoy the scenery.

We went to the resort late July to hike so we purchased tickets for the lifts and alpine slide…read more The parking lot is quite big so there are plenty of parking spaces. The main building was empty except for a couple of employees selling tickets. I thought it could definitely use a refresh but we were not there for the lodge. We rode up 2 lifts to reach the top of Whitefish Mountain. There are two peaks you can take lifts up and we went to the higher peak for one if the longer hikes. Both lifts were easy to get on, getting off was a little sketchy as we had to quickly jump off and move several steps forward to avoid being hit by the lift. Thank goodness for the lift operator assisting people off the lift! I'm sure it's much easier to exit when skiing. The ride up was great. Such beautiful views! There is a small bar/restaurant at the top with amazing patio views and a restroom. We hiked down the Danny On Trail From the top. There are plenty of trail Markers so you cannot get lost. We did see a sign warning us of bear activity while hiking but we never actually saw any animal activity, not even a deer. A majority of the trail had beautiful views of Whitefish Lake. The lower part of the hiking trail was covered with dozens of people picking huckleberries so you just had to navigate around those groups. The hike took approximately 3 hours to reach the Alpine Slide area. You could ride the slide down or jump on the ski lift to go down. Whichever you purchased tickets to do. There are is also a separate trail for mountain bikers but we didn't cross those trails until closer to the Alpine slide area. We purchased tickets for the Alpine Slide so we jumped in line which went quickly. There are two slides to choose from. One slide is "fast" and the other is slower and more scenic. We chose the scenic as it was our first time on the slide. You can also choose the speed as you navigate down the slide. The slide drops you right off at the bottom of the resort so you can walk directly to the parking lot. I would definitely recommend the hiking and Alpine slide. It was very scenic and a wonderful experience.
