Guide to Summer in Whitefish Montana

Whitefish, Montana is an outdoor lover’s paradise with amazing restaurants, unique places to stay and so much to do! Here’s what to do this summer.Restaurant & Travel Guide for Whitefish MontanaLast month we spent a weekend in Whitefish, Montana and it charmed our socks off.

My only complaint is that we didn’t have more time.
