You’re presented with options like the east side, the west side, in the park, near the park or in one of the nearby hub towns. Ultimately, we landed at the Grouse Mountain Lodge in Whitefish, Montana.
From the minute that you arrive in town, you know you’re in a place where you’ll find craft beer, cozy restaurants and a place to shop a wide variety of souvenirs.
You can find everything from hamburgers, pizza joints, Italian restaurants, Thai, Chinese and more. There are also fast food places, if that is your thing.
Overall, we found the Grouse Mountain Lodge to be well located and comfortable as our base for exploring Glacier National Park and the surrounding area.
