  Going-to-the-Sun Road season

  25 jun – 20 okt · meestalWandelseizoenDruk

  Glacier's alpine road over Logan Pass is the reason most people drive the hour east, and ploughing usually gets it fully open around the start of July and loses it again in October. Snow decides, not the calendar. Bron ↗

  Fourth of July in the mountains

  3–5 julNationale feestdagDrukBoek vroeg

  The Fourth of July weekend is one of the busiest of the mountain summer: lodging and campsites book out and roads into town are slow. Fireworks are often cancelled or replaced by drone shows when wildfire danger runs high. Bron ↗

• Natuur

  Huckleberry season

  10 jul – 31 aug · meestalPlukseizoen

  Six weeks when every café, brewery and roadside stand in the Flathead sells huckleberry something, and the pickers head up the forest roads. So do the bears, which is why the picking spots are not shared.

  Whitefish ski season

  5 dec – 5 apr · meestal

  The resort on Big Mountain runs from early December to early April, cheap by Rocky Mountain standards and often fogged in — the rime-covered snow ghosts on the summit are a by-product of that. Bron ↗

  Christmas to New Year ski peak

  20 dec – 3 jan · meestalKerst & nieuwjaarDrukBoek vroeg

  The week from Christmas to New Year is the busiest of the ski season: lodging and lift-ticket prices reach their highs, ski school and rentals book out and lift lines are longest. Book months ahead, and early-season snow cover varies year to year. Bron ↗
