We begin with a relaxed, scenic hike designed to warm up the legs and ease into the group in a quiet, remote area of northwest Montana. The trail winds past several glacially carved lakes, offering calm reflections and excellent opportunities to spot waterfowl. We hike at an unhurried pace, with time to pause, snack, and enjoy the setting. In the afternoon, we return to Whitefish, where we settle in and enjoy a flexible evening to explore the town’s galleries, breweries, and mountain-town charm.
