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 Hungry Horse Dam and Reservoir is 15 miles south of the west entrance to Glacier National Park and 20 miles northeast of Kalispell, Montana. At 564 feet, the dam is the 10th highest in the U.S. It makes for a nice drive and provides a cool opportunity to walk along the top of the dam.
Lone Pine State Park is a public recreation area on the southwest side of Kalispell, Montana, United States. The day-use state park's 270 acres include 7.5 miles of trails for hiking and mountain biking. From several observation overlooks, you can get a pretty cool view of all of Kalispell.
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.

Ciao Mambo in Whitefish is a favorite for Abby and Caleb. At Mambos, they serve up Italian cuisine in a happening family ambiance. Their pasta dishes with rich, savory sauces and fresh ingredients, thin crust pizzas baked to perfection, and friendly service will be well worth a visit.
Abby and Caleb's first official date was sharing dessert at Mackenzie River Pizza in Missoula. With two locations in Kalispell and one in Whitefish, Mackenzie River Pizza is a great place to eat with a wide selection of food from pizza to burgers and most things in-between. This place is the home of Caleb's favorite dessert, the Mack Lovin', a chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast iron skillet topped with ice-cream.
