An incredible hike just east of Bigfork. From parking to the summit is about 3 miles and the views are INCREDIBLE. From the top you can see Glacier National park, Jewel Basin, Polson, all of Flathead Lake, the Valley, and Big Mountain in Whitefish. Lots of mountain goats hang out at the top as well.
