Whitefish & Kalispell, Montana Guidebook
Restaurants
This Italian ristorante (faux Italian accent!) makes all of their pastas in house. Pizzas are closer to traditional Italian style and delizioso! Elk tartar is outstanding, excellent wine list, and desserts are a treat.

Tony’s favorite is the mac & cheese and the gumbo is also delicious, as you might expect. Live music most weekend evenings.

Our favorite for breakfast! There's usually a line here but one of the places we feel are worth the wait. Tony loves the breakfast sandwich on a biscuit and a huckleberry milkshake!

This unassuming local favorite is definitely our favorite in Kalispell. Their bison, elk, and venison burgers are the best in the valley and, as their name might imply, they have a great local beer selection as well.

Three Forks Grille

Apres ski tacos! We've spent a good deal of time in Texas, so, needless to say, our taco standard is quite high. We were hesitant to try a tex-mex place in Montana but once we did, we started coming here all the time. This place makes legit tacos (Lindsay loves the taco bowls), with almost everything being scratch made upon ordering. Cocktails are top notch as well. Try to hit this place on Taco Tuesday and you'll get out with a fantastic experience and less damage to the wallet.

Ranger Joe's Pizza
If you're near Kalispell, this is the best pizza place in the valley.
If you're looking for pizza on the way back from GNP, this is your spot. While there are some good places in WF, this is the best in the immediate vicinity. Their homemade ranch dressing is delicious as well.

The name might be a bit deceptive since it's located in Kalispell (but originally started in Whitefish...hence the name). They specialize in amazing locally distilled spirits, including some fun huckleberry flavored twists. However, don't count out their food. They've evolved their menu into an elevated one that could stand alone against some of the best places in Whitefish. If you're in this area we'd certainly recommend it. However, it is quite small and likely requires reservations for anyone not wanted to sit at the bar or with a party larger than 2.

If you have any first time skiers in your group, check out the 2-day lesson and rental pass. It's a great deal.
Make sure to try and book passes online to make your life easier.
Also, we'd recommend renting gear/equipment from local places in town (Sportsman Ski Haus or Tamarack Ski Shop). The line for rentals at the mountain can top 1hr+, especially during peak season.

A fairly easy mountain hike not in GNP. Beautiful views and fewer crowds.
If you're not quite feeling up to the drive into GNP but still want a long and challenging hike, this is your place. It offers some very vertical terrain and more than 12mi of hiking trails with, of course, some stunning views of the valley.

Rent a car as soon as possible
Do not wait to rent a car, they sell out very quickly in the summer. Uber and Lyft are here but there are very few of them.
