Whitefish Mountain Resort at Big Mountain Resort is a popular destination for all kinds of warm-weather recreation. The resort's "Glacier Chaser" gondola and chairlift operates during their summer season, providing a 15-minute scenic ride to the 7000-foot summit. At the top, the Summit House has a restaurant, shop, restrooms, and Nature Center. While you're up there, you'll enjoy fabulous views of Glacier National Park peaks, Whitefish Lake, and the Flathead Valley.
Hiking
Big Mountain hiking trails run from the village to the top of the mountain; shorter loop trails can be accessed from Summit House. The Danny On National Recreation Trail provides a different, wildflower-sprinkled route to Big Mountain's summit.
Mountain Biking & Mountain Scootering
The Big Mountain trail system includes over 20 routes for mountain bikers. Mountain bike and mountain scooter rentals are available at Big Mountain Village.
Horseback Trailrides
Outfitter "Bar W Ranch" provides trail rides suitable for those with minimal experience on horseback.
Walk in the Treetops
Spend time high up at treetop level along a boardwalk suspended between the forest giants. The footbridges link from tree to tree, spanning 800 feet in total length. With a high point of 70 feet above the forest floor, you'll enjoy once-in-a-lifetime views. The tour begins with a safety orientation, followed by a short nature hike to the boardwalk.
