There’s truly something for everyone in the Treasure State. From our bigger (but not too big) cities to our tiny off-the-grid towns, you can enjoy the life of your dreams here, whatever that dream may be. And while some of our cities draw in more tourists than others, those who call Montana home tend to know where the underrated places are. Kalispell isn’t exactly unknown, but many people don’t know just how much of a treasure it is.

First, there’s its location.

Kalispell is a mere 20 minutes away from Flathead Lake, and you can drive to Glacier National Park from town in less than an hour. It’s also close to Whitefish Mountain Ski Resort, the Bob Marshall Wilderness area and some gorgeous parks.
Needless to say, anyone who loves the great outdoors will love Kalispell…
