I love the diversity in our valley: Columbia Falls: still a timber town with Plum Creek, RBM lumber, also the gateway to Glacier National Park. Flathead River runs through it. Whitefish: the home of Big Mountain (Whitefish Mountain Resort) for winter and summer fun, old west downtown, situated on Whitefish Lake with bike trails and the Whitefish River running through it. From ski-bums to high end 2nd or 3rd homes, much diversity. Home of Alpine Theater Project and the Whitefish Theater with 2 venues to perform in. Bigfork: On Flathead Lake and you can boat to the town. Artist and restaurant (0 comments)

Friday: trip up to Glacier National Park, walked on the South Boundary Trail and watched the rafters come down the Middle Fork of the Flathead River. Would have been a longer hike if we had thought of bug spray. Renewed our annual park pass and wandered around Lake McDonald and Apgar. Came out of the park via Camas Road turning onto the North Fork Road. Swung through Big Creek campground spotting sites to camp along the river. Saturday: Afternoon spent down at Dayton on Flathead Lake cleaning the sailboat and replacing lines. Beautiful weather and fun social time at the docks. (0 comments)

It is a sunny Friday in the Flathead. Whitefish Mountain Resort ends this awesome season on Sunday. The annual Pond Skim event is on Saturday. People dress up and use all kids of contraptions to get down to a pond on skis or whatever and try and skim across without sinking in the icy cold water. I was driving up today to get a few last runs in and saw something that gave me a chuckle. Between Kalispell and Whitefish a guy was riding a bike along Hwy 93 with a snow board strapped to his back. It was about 32 (0 comments)
