Might be visiting Kalispell the first week of October. Would like to visit GNP and going to the sun road. What's the likely hood of snow in October? Several years ago, I was in the back country camping and we ended up with a foot of snow on August 21st, so you just never know. All that said, Glacier and surrounding area is worth visiting in the fall, it is always beautiful and colorful. |

Likelihood of snow was covered above; I'll just second that it's an awesome time of year to visit the Flathead; the weather is usually pleasant, the bugs are usually done, and the tourists have thinned out significantly. If it does snow, it generally isn't sticking around very long at that point, at least not in the valley.

Thank you both! We are very excited to be making the trip, got some great airfare. We have been wanting to get up there forever, but when driving, yellowstone was as far as we got! Besides the park are there any other must dos while there? We are very much into hiking and seeing the sights.

there is a lot of good hiking in the area; Glacier has a lot of hiking, but there is a lot outside the park as well. Jewel Basin is pretty cool; in the mountains just NE of Bigfork - not a road you want to try if it's snowing, but usually doable around that time - lots of trails and some excellent views.
How long are you going to be in the area? Staying in the Flathead proper? |

How long are you going to be in the area? Staying in the Flathead proper? We will have four full days. Staying in Kalispell. Any unique places to eat around the area? Also thinking of driving up to Canada since we will be so close. |

If you like pizza, or beer and peanuts, I would hit up Moose's Saloon in Kalispell. Pho Ly is a good pho restaurant in Evergreen (unincorporated eastern end of Kalispell). Tien's Place in Columbia Falls is good Asian food. Whitefish is lousy with restaurants...
There are a lot of good restaurants in all the towns in the valley...it just depends on what you like. I recommend Moose's pretty strongly - it's kind of a local landmark, and a cool place inside. |

The Sun Road will be officially to be closed in mid-Oct.
Might be it for the year until then unless we get a warm spell but the weeks weather forecast doesn't seem to be going that way. |
