  Between the lifts stopping and Glacier's high road opening, the trails are soft and half the town takes its holiday. Rooms are at their cheapest and the lake is still too cold to be in.

• Abertura

  Going-to-the-Sun Road season

  25 Jun – 20 Out · normalmenteTemporada de trilhasLotado

  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. Fonte ↗

  Fourth of July in the mountains

  3–5 JulFeriado nacionalLotadoReserve cedo

  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. Fonte ↗

• Natureza

  Huckleberry season

  10 Jul – 31 Ago · normalmenteTemporada de coleta

  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 Dez – 5 Abr · normalmente

  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. Fonte ↗

• Feriado

  Christmas to New Year ski peak

  20 Dez – 3 Jan · normalmenteNatal e Ano-NovoLotadoReserve cedo

  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. Fonte ↗
