Information: Flathead Lake lies in the shadows of Glacier National Park and Whitefish Mountain ski resort to the north. Two scenic highways parallel the lake. On the west side, US Highway 93, and Route 35 on the east wind along the curving shorelines offering majestic views of the lake, mountains and the scenery that made Montana famous. On my first visit to this valley many years ago, when I crossed over the hill above Polson and got my first glimpse of the lake. . . I felt like I had discovered it (see photos below). As a matter of fact, any view of Flathead Lake is a spiritual experience.
