A drive to nearby Glacier National Park is the best way to spend a few hours and take a scenic drive. At this time of year, it is questionable how far the Going to the Sun road will be open but at the very least, you can visit lake McDonald, stroll the trail of the cedars, and hike Avalanche Lake!

The Wayfarers unit of Flathead Lake State Park is located near Bigfork on the northeast shore of Flathead Lake. A mature, mixed forest makes this site very pleasant walking and picnicking. From spring to late fall, the area abounds in wildflowers. The rocky shoreline and cliffs are popular with photographers, hikers, and swimmers. It provides a sweet look at Flathead Lake, one of the "must sees" here in the Flathead Valley.

Abby and Caleb's first official date was sharing dessert at Mackenzie River Pizza in Missoula.
