Fall Activities
Summer vacation may be over, but autumn brings mild days, uncrowded roads and plenty of recreation opportunities, all perfect for a shoulder-season getaway.
Topping our list: scenic floats on the Middle Fork of the Flathead River, paddling the Clearwater Canoe Trail in Seeley Lake, guided hikes in Glacier National Park, fly-fishing trips on the Bitterroot, Blackfoot, Clark Fork and Flathead rivers, tasting Montana at local breweries and exploring the region's thriving arts and culture scene.
Year-Round Adventure Lives in Columbia Falls
Outside Glacier National Park, explore the great outdoors by horseback, ski or snowshoe, and enjoy small-town charm at local coffee shops, breweries and distilleries.
