Magruder Corridor

Reviewed By 275aliar

The Frank Church and Selway/Bitterroot Wildernesses are beautiful to travel through on the Magruder Corridor. This years trip was a lot busier and rougher than our last trip about 10 years ago. We were in a oickup as a support vehicle for a couple 4-wheelers. There were a few other pick ups and SUV’s but the majority of traffic were ATtV’s and motorcycles. We hiked to a couple lookouts as Burnt Knob road was too rough for our long pick up and Salmon Mtn is only walking access. Both beautiful scenery and Salmon Mtn Lookout is staffed with friendly people.

Memorial Rose Garden

Memorial Rose Garden Park is located at 800 Brooks St. The Memorial Rose Garden was established in 1946 as a memorial to Missoula-area casualties of World War II. Among the attractive features of the park are the American and Montana state flags, which are lighted 24 hours a day, symbolizing the enduring honor paid to those who gave their lives for their country. The Blue Star Memorial Rose Garden Bronze Plaque, located in the southwest corner of the park, was erected by the Montana Federation of Garden Clubs. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial, located in the northeast corner of the park, was dedicated in 1989. The Korean War Monument, in the northwest corner, was dedicated in 1997. The Policemen’s Memorial was dedicated in 2000 and is located to the southwest. Veterans of America's conflicts in Grenada, the Persian Gulf, Panama, and Korea, as well as urban firefighters, are also honored with memorials in the park.

Whitefish Pottery

Reviewed By X7931CKmikec - Whitefish, United States

This place has the best pottery merchandise in the immediate area. The items for sale are sturdy and appealing. Prices are moderate but reasonable for what you get. Definitely worth a visit for locals and non-locals alike.

Hungry Horse Reservoir

Reviewed By CATTSAR - Provincetown, United States

Even in heavy snow this was still a spectacular stop.  At the stunning height of 564 ft. (172 m) it towers over the South Fork Flathead River. The length of the dam is 2115 ft. (645 m) and provides for great photo ops. The dam was finished in 1953 with cutting edge features at the time. One of the most notable features is the Morning Glory spill way, the highest of its type in the world. While the main uses are hydroelectric power, here but down river as well, flood control is another important function. The reservoir serves as a great recreation area for camping, boating, swimming, fishing and many other activities. Jewel Basin is adjacent and offers some of the most incredible hiking anywhere. This time of year the road past the dam, West Side Drive, (NF 895) is not maintained and may be difficult even with four wheel drive. The closest supplies are in Hungry Horse. Carry it in~ carry it out!!

Dick Idol Signature Gallery

Reviewed By onemichael - Taylors, United States

While pretty much everything is western themed, it is one of the best galleries in town. It is pretty packed but with very good to superb artwork including sculptors and painters. Definitely worth the stop. Beautiful place.

Whitefish Depot

Reviewed By FarAway278557

Took the train from Whitefish to West Glacier. Walked to Glacier Guides and Montana Raft for a whole day of fun. Walked back to West Glacier to take it back to Whitefish. Train was 3 hours late. That gave us time to eat a Bison burger and have a brew at the restaurant across the street.

The Loop

Reviewed By X7931CKmikec - Whitefish, United States

Had a pleasant hike from the Avalanche area to The Loop and was not disappointed. The views were spectacular and the roads were clear of cars this day, as only bicyclists and hikers were allowed to venture in this part of the park.

Four Winds Indian Trading Post

Reviewed By robbygc - Toronto, Canada

When we stepped out of our car, we saw wooden homes and a wagon that was falling apart. These were built in 1870. It was used as a bunkhouse. The logs were fitting together. They call this the Saddleback construction. The Four Winds Indian Trading Post were selling books, artifacts, jewelry and more. They were very friendly. Worthwhile to see!
