WELCOME TO WHITEFISH, MONTANA Dear Traveler, Welcome to Whitefish! Our small mountain town is a special place I am proud to call home. Our vibe here is one of a big heart and friendly nature — a town that will surprise even seasoned travelers with our cultural options and cuisine, surrounded by millions of acres of public land. Exhilarating experiences by day and relaxing hospitality by night await you. We welcome people from around the world and hope you will enjoy exploring our beautiful backyard and meeting our friendly people. We appreciate travelers who will help us sustain the special character of Whitefish — our environment, heritage, aesthetics, culture, and the well-being of our residents. What does this mean for you? Please patronize our locally-owned businesses, showcased here in this travel guide. Look for handmade local gifts in our Central Avenue shops. Hire a local guide to show you the best of Whitefish and Glacier National Park. Look for public transportation options like our local S.N.O.W. Bus. Find that small, out-of-the way business where you’ll get to know the owner. Join us for a local celebration like Winter Carnival. Rent a bicycle and wander our local pathways. Think local. And above all, please tread lightly. When you return from your adventures, tell your friends! But maybe keep that local secret spot you discovered a little bit secret and join us in keeping Whitefish special for your next visit and for those of us who call it home. We do hope you come back again and again. The door is always open in Whitefish. We can’t wait to show you around.
Mayor John M. Muhlfeld local resident for 25 years
