Here is a list of some local attractions so that everyone can start making plans on what they want to do while in Montana.
1.) See Glacier National Park
- Driving the "Going to the Sun Road" has been highly recommended for
getting a comprehensive view of the park. It's a 4 hour roundtrip drive if
you choose to do the whole thing and takes you from the west end of the
park to the east end and back. Along the way you can stop to picnic.
Fish Creek or Lake McDonald Lodge were recommended.
There is also a place called the "Vortex" which is an energy circle in the
park that's center of gravity is off to the left therefore making for some
unique scenery.
- There are many short hikes throughout the park if you prefer to see the
park that way.
- Entrance into the park is $25 for a 7-day pass per car
2.) Swimming:
- Our cabin is 10 miles away from Whitefish Lake which offers free swimming.
- Hot tub at the cabin
- There is an indoor fitness center in Whitefish that includes a waterpark. It’s called The
Wave. A day pass can be purchased for $30/family pass, $12/adult, $9/age 65+, $10/high
school, $7/ages 7-13, $4/ages 3-6, ages 2 and under free
The pass includes access to the whole facility: swimming pools, raquet ball, gym, etc…
3.) Fishing
4.) Boating:
- The pond on the resort property offers free use of a rowboat, canoe and paddleboat
5.) 4th of July Activities:
- Whitefish holds a 4th of July Festival during the day
- Fireworks are supposed to be shot over Whitefish Lake. Although, I was told they didn't
do them last year, but hopefully that won't be the case this year. However, we should be able
to find a fireworks show nearby due to the fact that we will be near a Reservation.
6.) Laser Tag
- Laser Tag just down the street from the resort.
Hopefully that gives you a good idea of things to do. Since we will be there such a short time, I didn't add more to the list. If there's something I can find out for you, let me know. And, don't forget to get your talent ready for the second ever biennial Johnson Family Talent Show!!
Rock on!

Margie/Scott - Do you have an address or specific directions to the cabin?
I just read in the DNews that the National Park Service will allow visitors free entry during three weekends this summer to encourage Americans to visit national parks. I was all excited thinking that it might be on the weekend of July 4th---wrong! Entry fees will be waived on June 20-21, July 18-19and August 15-16!
I'm working on my magic tricks every day before Amy gets home so she won't know how I do them!
Really looking forward to seeing everyone!
We are staying in one big cabin, right? Do we need to provide bedding/sleeping bags for ourselves? What about the kitchen...should we bring any cooking equipment for our meal, or is it all stocked? I am sure I will come up with more questions later, but this is all for now :)
1845 Hodgsen Rd.
Whitefish, MT 59937
We are in one big cabin, fully stocked with everything we need, just like the cabin in Wyoming.
